Although he is abusing their right to make choices for themselves he is trying to keep trans people out of harms way by keeping them at home and sending all the straight people out to get killed in America’s wars.
Reality time; President Donald Trump said his decision to ban transgender people from serving in the military, announced via Twitter on Wednesday morning, came “after consultation with my generals and military experts.” It’s becoming clearer and clearer that he was lying.
Secretary of Defense James Mattis was on vacation when the decision was announced, and privately opposed the move. The Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. James Dunford, said Thursday that the military wouldn’t implement the ban absent a formal, non-tweeted order from the commander in chief.
And then there were the remarkable remarks that Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley made during a luncheon at the National Press Club.
During the lunch, Milley told reporters that he found out about the ban “the same way everybody else did — on the news.”
The real threat to combat readiness is a sitting “president” who has no understanding of what the armed forces are, what they do and what the don’t do.
Trump didn’t “consult” with any generals, he’s pandering to the 700 Club/Pat Robertson bunch that “laid hands” on his gnarly orange hide the other day.

Too bad it won’t be law…or is even legal…or is even an executive order, just a Tweet.

Trump is obviously mentally ill as he does nothing except lie and hate.
