Before boarding Marine One at the White House earlier today, Donald Trump responded to a question about the outcry regarding the proposed 'redefining' of sex by the Department of Health and Human Services that would virtually erase 1.4 million transgender Americans, that he's "protecting everybody."
"We're looking at it, we have a lot of different, ahhhhh...concepts right now," said Trump. "They have a lot of different things happening with respect to transgender right now - you know that as well as I do."
When asked about his promise during the 2016 campaign to protect LGBT people, Trump responded, "I'm protecting everybody. I want to protect our country."
