Caitlyn Jenner isn’t happy with President Donald Trump.
After Trump’s decision to revoke transgender bathroom rights established by President Barack Obama, Jenner took to Twitter with a video message for the current Commander in Chief.
Well @realDonaldTrump, from one Republican to another, this is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me. pic.twitter.com/XwYe0LNUOq

“I have a message for President Trump,” Jenner said. “From one Republican to another, this is a disaster, and you can still fix it. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me.”
Per Trump’s recent decision, students will no longer have the ability to choose the restroom that corresponds with their identity. Instead, students will have to use public restrooms that match the gender on their birth certificates.
What decision means for N.J.
Jenner, who won a gold medal as a runner while identifying as Bruce Jenner, is an activist for LGBTQ rights.
In April, Trump said that there were “very few problems” with the rights put in by Obama and that he didn’t see a problem keeping the new rules in place. One month into his tenure as leader of the United States, that changed.

Later in that same interview, Trump was asked if Jenner would be welcome to use any bathroom she wanted if she visited Trump tower.
“That is correct,” Trump said.
