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. 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. Thank you

Via twitter

Obligatory flag

 

[Ilive1up]

and the beat goes on.

 

[def sim]

Announced via twitter.

 

[Spehornoob]

Did... did he announce this on Twitter?

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

 

[Arkeband]

Obligatory flag

Obligatory source please, c'mon OP.

 

[Laevateinn]

Fuck Trump and the entire Republican Party.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

.

 

[benicillin]

Can they even do that unilaterally? Does he need to pass legislation? Spiteful, hateful bigot.

 

[Darryl M R]

Just saw the news push. Disgusting. I expect this to go to the courts.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Did... did he announce this on Twitter?

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

He did.

 

[shockthrill]

yep, confirms what I have already knew

Trump is the second worst president in the world, not counting dictators

and arguably the worst president of Untied States history, that includes Andrew Jackson

 

[TS-08]

Obligatory source please, c'mon OP.

The source is Trump on his twitter account.

 

[Bsigg12]

Fuck Trump. Fuck Republicans.

 

[Pandora012]

lol wtf is this. Did he really announce this via Twitter? Further can he actually to this?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Did this orange shitstain really just announce this by Twitter?

 

[RPGCrazied]

So much for standing with the LBGTQ community? You have always been a fraud. You and Pence are made for each other. Bigots.

And who would want to serve under this President? I wouldn't make Trump a fucking sandwich, let alone risk my life for him.

 

[Miles X]

Yeah because trans in the military is costing them sooo much money. And they're on such a tight, strict budget as it is ...

 

[DonShula]

What the actual fuck.

And that Tweet does this terrible decision NO favors. Blaming transgendered people for being a distraction? That's fucking rich coming from the human gaffe machine.

 

[Bulk_Rate]

Horrible.


Was Mattis on board with this? I don't know his views on the matter, not assuming anything.

Also, this is after 20+ Rep. reps broke w/ party and voted DOWN a similar amendment to a defense bill a week or so ago.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

He's playing close to his fucked up base... and it's still a weird as fuck thing to announce on twitter.

 

[Barzul]

He announced it on Twitter. What happens to all the trans service men and women who are serving now?

 

[n00bsauce87]

I mean, Trump was waving a rainbow flag. I thought he was cool.

Spoiler

Hard /s

He announced it on Twitter. What happens to all the trans service men and women who are serving now?

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

 

[jelly]

I don't understand the reasoning. What a hateful man.

 

[CrocMother]

^ Playing to his base

 

[BigAT]

Was there any existing policy on transgender individuals in the military? It occurs to me that I've never given it much thought and have never heard it mentioned before.

 

[the_sun_king]

Did this orange shitstain really just announce this by Twitter?

Yep.

Spoiler

Twitter was a mistake.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

How did he do this? An EO?

 

[Wilsongt]

I'm going to need a more reliable source than the President.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Real American Values.

 

[Beefy]

Disgusting, fuck Trump

 

[Windu]

You need the correct genitalia to die apparently.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

A man for his people. Also thanks for the support Caitlyn #MAGA........... /s

 

[Cepheus]

Is this official?

 

[SKINNER!]

lol Thank you??? How polite of him.

 

[super-famicom]

FUCK TRUMP

 

[jmdajr]

Trump gonna Trump

 

[Couleurs]

Fuck that piece of shit.

It must eat him up inside that people he despises have the courage to enlist when he is a coward that went out of his way to dodge the draft.

 

[Subv3rsi0n]

What a piece of shit. Massive step backwards.

 

[Slime]

"I can't pass any legislation, so what can I do? Oh, right, I'm the Commander-in-chief. I'll fire some people who make me uncomfortable to make myself feel better."

Land of the somewhat free and not exactly equal.

 

[lobdale]

Global sideshow, pathetic man, embarrassment to the office and the country. His stupid ass can't disappear fast enough.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

yep, confirms what I have already knew

Trump is the second worst president in the world, not counting dictators

and arguably the worst president of Untied States history, that includes Andrew Jackson

What current president aside from dictators is worse than him?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

How did he do this? An EO?

He tweeted it, literally

What current president aside from dictators is worse than him?

Either Maduro or Duterte is my guess.

 

[Psychoward]

...how is this legal?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

 

[Dusk Golem]

Unsurprising for Trump, but fuck the Republican Party on this. And of course Trump announces this on Twitter.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

Next it'll be the Muslims, then the jews.

then the people that arent his specific qwhite.


fuck this hateful piece of shit.

 

[jph139]

I legitimately don't understand what he means or how this is supposed to work.

I kind of assume he doesn't either though?

 

[Somnid]

Anti-inclusive but if you want to serve in the military, especially under Trump, especially as trans, you are probably making a bad decision at best and are a bad person at worst.
