Ah, Trump America where going to the bathroom is a states' rights issue

http://www.nbcnews.com/video/wh-transgender-bathroom-guidance-a-states-rights-issue-881781315869

Press Sec.: Pres. Trump believes transgender bathroom rules are a "states' rights issue" but is "sympathetic to children who deal with that"

Is there any issue that most assumed was a settled issue that the Trump administration can't dig back up and make stupid again? While I think most rational people assume people go to the bathroom about the same basic ways all over this great country, you're either number 1ing or 2ing even if its in a bed in Moscow surrounded by Russian prostitutes, in Trump America its assumed there are some states where people go to the bathroom different than other states.

In the end tossing out that this is a states' right issue it basically says that Trump has no leadership ability at all and can't actually stand up and lead on any basic human right even something as fundamentally basic as going to the bathroom. You're either a leader or your not. Trump isn't a leader, but we knew that. Really, going to the bathroom is a states' right? How embarrassing is it to call this person our president.

Dear Clementine,

Antietam is truly treacherous. Morale has run low with the longing for our loved ones, the September heat, and the dysentery. We've received word that Gen. McClellan's troops even share the latrine regardless of who they are. We're holding out for what we know in our hearts to be true.
Give my love to Rose.
