Donald Trump Says US Military Will Not Allow Transgender People To Serve (theguardian.com)
Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would not allow transgender individuals to serve in the US military in any capacity. From a report: The US president tweeted: "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow ... transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military." He added: "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming ... victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail." Trump's decision marks a sharp reversal of a policy initiated under Barack Obama, in which the Pentagon ended a longtime ban on transgender people from serving openly in the military. As a candidate, Trump cast himself as a supporter of LGBT rights and indicated he would uphold certain Obama-era policies designed to protect transgender people.

Why do reporters continue to bother with this... Clearly his supporters don't care what he said he would do and what he IS doing, and even more clearly, his non-supporters don't need anymore ammunition to dislike him.
Yea it's fun to call him out on lying/not holding onto campaign promises, but seriously, this is NOT new at all with any politician, especially fuck-face-von-orangutan. (Fun fact, if you Google Image search "orangutan", Donald Trump is the second suggestion they offer.)
Because a person who gave up their balls still have more than the Coward in Chief, Donald J. (Jackass?) 'Tiny Hands" Trump.

What a worthless pile of flesh our president is. I feel sorry for those who cast a vote for him. For those who regret, I can forgive. For those who continue to support this orange oaf, I am saddened by your lack of humanity and that by definition, you can still call yourselves human.
Place something witty here
All trans people, by definition, have a mental problem.
I would argue that by definition all trans are schizophrenic. The suicide rates alone should disqualify them from being in the military.
They want what the constitution affords them; equal protection before the law.
