Trump: Transgenders no longer welcome in the military

I don't think it's a coincidence that he makes this policy change the day after strong conservative groups started criticizing him for going after Sessions.

 

Not surprising. All politic. Play to the base. Those that serve as transgenders or want to is extra piss that this type of direction come from a... really really really big and sad coward.

And "mental state"? If you are referring to transgender people... just stop. Even being ignorant about transgender people can't possibly justify such a wrong prejudiced position like this?

Like I said, I don't know much about their mental state. I will let the people who are charged with making those decisions make those decisions. If 3 genders are the way we are heading I will let that happen as well. My ignorance on these people doesn't mean much in the grand scheme.

 

Just another misdirection from Trump, he is the master at these little clever tricks.

 

Damn this guy is such an f'n loser. Hilary was wrong in calling Trump supporters deplorables, but if you still support this ass wipe you are definitely a deplorable.

 

Easy way to rally the 25% that still licks his boots.

That's enough to get past primaries folks.

 

yes, and the part of the reason is because he only care for himself. He doesn't care a single bit if he harm people, make bad decision for the country, ... the stuff that decent people would. These decisions aren't hard for him. It's really really really easy.

 

Nothing else to be said. He's a much worse leader of this country than I could have even imagined. The worst of us.

 

I read that, too. Anyone have financial data that supports Trump's claims?

Regardless, I'm sure the extra spending on 15k transgender soldiers pales in comparison to the defense budget.

 

Any bets that next week Trump will do a 180 and pretend this tweet never existed?

 

Thanks. It helps a bit. Still curious to see how much more a transgender service member costs in comparison to a standard service member.

Trump can at least say he's cutting the budget. Still a very hollow attempt.

 

NewRoxFan....Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

If cost is a concern, the solution isn't hard. Have them pay for it themselves. But I think in the scheme of things, it's barely a blip. And also don't forget about the costs of losing out on recruit, current and future.

The number of Americans eligible to serve in the military is dramatically shrinking, leaving the Army at its smallest size in over 75 years and forcing units to rely on unstable and unprepared servicemen. That puts both our military troops and the country at risk.

 

Didn't Trump say he wouldn't take any rights away from Transgender people?
