CHRIS WALLACE: Trump raised some new questions this week about his conservatism when he opposed North Carolina’s new law which was — will set restrictions on which bathrooms transgender people can use.

TRUMP: First of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is.

WALLACE: But that night Trump reversed himself and said, well, no, it’s actually a state’s rights issue.Simple question, Paul, what does Trump think about the North Carolina law?

PAUL "Mafia Paul" MANAFORT: Trump thinks what he said, that it’s a state’s rights issue.

WALLACE: But he also said he thinks leave it alone. Leave it the way it is.

MANAFORT: But it’s not a reversal. I mean, he told you what his position is and you just had him on air, he said it’s a state’s right issue. Period, end of sentence.

WALLACE: Wait. Wait. Wait. But 12 hours before or eight hours before, he said leave it the way it is and that there doesn’t need to be any change. It’s a problem in search of a solution.

MANAFORT: Which it is.

WALLACE: Let me rephrase, it’s a solution in search of a problem, that there’s not really a problem there.

MANAFORT: What he said, he was asked a question of his personal opinion in the afternoon and then he was asked, “How do you handle the issue?” And he answered that in the evening.

WALLACE: His personal opinion stands?

MANAFORT: What stands is what he said when he was asked the specific question of what should happen to this issue and he said it’s a state’s rights issue, it should be handled by the states.
