You do not. I asked what you thought my reason was for defending it?

See this is kind of amazing because you write this as if the fact that it is within the president's power implies it isn't racist, which is ridiculous. Also, the courts seem to disagree that it is within the president's power.

Yeah, for like the 800th time, it's not racist. It's discriminatory against Muslims.

Nope, he was talking about how he would treat people going into a women's bathroom.

I realized this in my first post, but I find it entertaining.

Nah, if his daughter we're in the men's bathroom I think he would care who went in there.

No.
