Fuck off this with this shit.
I don't get this at all. What does being transgender have to do with performance in the military???
This is gonna backfire badly for him and deservably so.

Like I don't get it, even the Republicans voted for trans soldiers, this doesn't seem super smart. Basically don't ask don't tell? Does he expect to pass some legislation?

The fuck did trans people do to you in 24 for hours for this bullshit?
Oh and if anyone wants anymore proof Catlyn Jenner is garbage, there you go.

What a weird way to make such a crazy announcement

Wow, let's just throw that curveball out there. I'm going to assume Sessions is getting fired ASAP.
Throwback to a year ago:
It's almost like he would say anything to get elected.

There are trans soldiers serving TODAY. What a fucking garbage person.
I consider myself an outsider in this thread, not living in the US, but I do lurk here once in a while. And I have to say, it's frustrating having to read people blame Hillary because racist and sexist people didn't vote for her. If the choice was between her and an equally qualified opponent, and she messed up on messaging, I would understand blaming her. But when the choice is between her and a man who clearly isn't qualified for the job, is racist, sexist and admits to assaulting women, you blame the voters.

Time to donate to the ACLU again
Were over this, but come the fuck ON.
I don't think he wrote this. Since when did he say 'Thank you'.

I wonder how many people actually knew about this.
EDIT: He didn't consult the Pentagon or Mattis on this? The fuck.

Love the "my generals" part, but who expected him to protect LGBT rights?

He's gotta go.
Aside from the sheer bigotry on display here, and not that it needs to be said, for the THOUSANDTH time, but this entire administration is clown shoes. No coordination on anything, no one knows what anyone in another department is doing. Frankly it is frightening.

Is this even constitutional?
This doesn't really even seem like something he can do without a law behind it

What was on Fox News this morning?
There were definitely some folks on gaf that talked about him being better than Hillary on that front.

It's not about coordination. It's quite clear the way Trump wants to rule is dictatorial-style, what he says goes. Not actual discussion with other more experienced people.

As Commander in Chief, this is probably something he can actually do legally speaking. Practically speaking, that's another story.

Pretty sure that this would require a change to the UCMJ, which needs Congressional signoff.
I don't fucking know.
BTW, I think it's really important that we all take a moment and slap the nearest Log Cabin Republican. Not in the face, but like... a dope slap, you know?
Because goddamn are they dopes.
Because blaming the voters will forever be a losing strategy. If you truly believe this, then a Dem will never win again.

I like how the Pentagon is "uhh... wait what did he just announce!?"
He didn't even talk to anyone about this. He just woke up with this crazy idea and now expects everyone to figure out what the heck to do with the thousands of trans soldiers already serving

This is Trump's way of taking accountability of the failure of Healthcare and the Russia storm. Piece of shit. I honestly have no idea if this is legal but it might be seeing as he's Commander in Chief.

Maybe he's trying to secure a win after how the Healthcare repeals are straight falling apart in the Senate? And Russia. Can't forget about Russia.

I lurve this thought process. "The Dems should pick their candidates based on whether they are enough of a blank slate to satisfy the GOP"
By this metric Sanders, Biden, Obama, or well...just about any Dem, shouldn't have run.

I don't know.. He's the commander in chief.

Even if it doesn't hold up he just put a target on the back of trans people serving, or discouraging trans people from enlisting. Being trans is difficult enough, now this shit is trying to close the door for them at another avenue.

What kind of idiot do you have to be to rile up Democrats with a hot button issue like this that you're doing for no particular reason that nobody even asked for.
Yep
Nobody knew about it or had any plan in place for implementing it. He just woke up and thought "I gotta do this today"
I bet the Pentagon is furious right now.

He's defanging his base for when he fires Sessions. He's had this in his pocket for weeks. Idea probably came from Ann Coulter.
