this story is ridiculous and onion-like because they spent millions of dollars and years fear mongering about this, only for the president to go nvm it's actually not that big of a deal

I have no idea about what Trump "actually thinks" about trans bathrooms. But he is correct that it has never mattered. I as a fully cis male have proudly and specifically used female bathrooms, because the male bathrooms were occupied many times. It has never been a problem, and it isn't actually a problem. Certainly not anything worthy of more then 1 second of discussion in congress.

Use the bathroom that is most convenient. End of concern.

Laws meant to forcibly single out minority groups do matter. I'd love all gender neutral bathrooms, but forcing me to use the wrong ones is a problem
