Trump bans trans gender troops

I guess when the dust settles, he hasn't banned gay troops, just those who want to join and have the military pay for their trans operation. After talking to some Aussie. senior NCO's still serving, of greater concern is women in front line positions, where strength and endurance, and the ability to push on under horrific conditions could mean the difference between life and death, literally. This has not been put to the test in our military, and I'm talking infantry here. I believe the Russians had battalions of women, who fought at the front. A touchy subject,

There are a significant number of trans already in the US military. What are they supposed to do - hide?

I don't even know if Trump has thought that through.

Trump probably even surprised himself with his little thought bubble. I guess he wanted to divert people from talking about Russia, but he just made himself look even sillier.

I saw a suggestion the Trump organization might have been laundering Russian crime money. Apparently the investigators have hired a team of crack financial investigators. If that is true Trump will go down big time.
