Caitlyn Jenner praises Donald Trump

Los Angeles: "I Am Cait" star Caitlyn Jenner has praised Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying that he is "very much behind" LGBT issues.

Caitlyn, who has always been open about her 'conservative Republican side', slammed outgoing President, Barack Obama's contribution to the economy, before going on to suggest that the Democrats had been "very good", reported People magazine.

She later added, "Trump seems to be very much for women. He seems very much behind the LGBT community because of what happened in North Carolina with the bathroom issue.

"He backed the LGBT community. But in Trump's case, there's a lot more unknowns. With Hillary (Clinton), you pretty much know what you're gonna get with the LGBT community," she said in a new interview with Stat.

Caitlyn had also expressed her opinions during season two of her reality show, "I Am Cait", where she threw her support behind Trump.

"I think he would have a hard time with women when he doesn't even realise it, and it doesn't mean he wouldn't be good for women's issues, I think he would be very good for women's issues. I don't think he's out there to destroy women or takes things away or do any of that kind of stuff," she said.
