This should make the people who support the mentally ill very mad, and create some lawsuits and demonstrations (that will turn violent, as usual)
After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow……

As you would expect, Leftist are losing their minds over this, both under the tweets and in places like the Washington Post (which now has a big red “breaking news” banner). It’s an utter dumpster fire in the comments at the NY Times tweet on this.
When it comes to the military, anything that doesn’t help the mission in a positive manner is a distraction. Having to placate and patronize a tiny number of people with mental illness is contradictory to the mission of protecting the United States.
The First Street Journal has a few thoughts on the military having to be ready to go, and gender confusion doesn’t help. And more at Red State.
So we can have a mentally-ill, draft-dodger-in-chief, but we need to expel the transgendered already serving bravely in our armed forces.
Makes sense in bizarro-tRump-world.

Gee, you’re dumb!
The ‘transgendered’ come with high medical care costs — which our lamebrained 44th President approved paying — and are medically non-deployable for extended periods of time. My older daughter, a sergeant in the United States Army, is currently in the Middle East, enduring 120ºF temperatures and higher humidity than most people think; soldiers have to be physically fit and ready for deployment at a moment’s notice. My younger daughter, a reservist, is in the US, but could be sent to Kuwait or Saudi Arabia or anyplace else should the needs of the Army require it.
The “transgendered already serving bravely in our armed forces?” Bradley Manning demonstrates for you what allowing the deranged to serve can do for us. Of course, you probably approve of Mr Manning’s ‘service,’ don’t you?
Why should the United States waste money on soldiers who will not be able to do their duty for extended periods of time, placing greater burdens on those who are capable of doing their duty?
t-Rump lied about the costs of transgender healthcare in the military. The total cost is about 0.01% of the military healthcare budget. Why would t-Rump so easily and freely lie about such a thing?
If it costs 2¢, it costs too much! This is completely optional ‘treatment,’ and the government should not pay for it, period.
Maybe if more straight, white, christian conservatives would volunteer for the military…
Like my two daughters? Still, why the emphasis on “white?”
The
deranged‘transgendered’ have volunteered because our idiotic 44th President not only opened the doors to them, but agreed that the military would pay for their hormone ‘treatments’ and ‘sex-reassignment’mutilationssurgeries.Donald Trump may not be the greatest President since Abraham Lincoln, but at least he has more sense than Barack Hussein Obama!
These “guys” don’t want to fight, they want a free ride, like all of the Lefty “oppressed”.
BTW why aren’t you in the Army?
farmwuss,
Bullshit. The transgendered were in the military before. Gays too.
Yeah, they were, and ain’t Bradley Manning a great example of how honorable their service has been?
Kinda like you did, little jeffuckery?
Please give us a lecture on volunteering for the military.
Also, little jeffuckery, tell us how you bravely served in the Army during the Vietnam war.
The DOD spends more each year of erectile dysfunction drugs than they do on transgendered warriors(which costs a trivial amount).

So clearly our draft-dodging Orangutan-in-Chief didn’t base his decision on economics, unless he is ignorant, which he demonstrates daily. He is trying to bolster his hateful base, who despise anyone different, as the right-wing commenters demonstrate daily.
Look at the date of that report.
Loose Shoes was running the show in 2014.
Hard to hang those costs on Trump.
The figure I saw was $64.4 million, but whatever: the military should not be spending money on that, either.
We will have a deficit of around half a trillion dollars; we need to cut every last penny of unnecessary spending. If soldiers need erectile dysfunction medication, they can pay for it themselves. Of course, if they aren’t man enough to get a hard on, they’re not man enough to be in the Army in the first place.
Smegma,
What did YOU do during the war(s)?
Why did you lie about joining the Army, little jeffuckery?
Smegma Wormtongue,
We didn’t lie, as has been demonstrated time and again. You, on the other hand, DID lie repeatedly, as has been demonstrated time and again.
For which war did you volunteer?
Oh right, brave little jeffuckery claimed to have volunteered to join the Army but somehow never actually joined.
Still a liar…
By your “logic” we should boot all females out the service, too. Their medical expenses are greater than men’s.
Maybe if more straight, white, christian, conservative men would volunteer for the military we’d finally have a military that the cowardly draft-dodger-in-chief could be proud of …
#WhyDoesT-RumpHateAmericans?
Our host’s village idiot wrote:
But those are involuntary medical care costs, not the wholly elective costs of sex “reassignment.”
And, once again, you emphasize “white.” Some not-so-subtle racism from the left again.
Dana Dumbass,
Nice dodge. The DOD spends much more on Viagra et al than they spend on transgender medical issues. Why didn’t t-Rump ban Viagra to save money?
Because he knows attacking transgendered folks will activate his bands of howler monkeys and take the emphasis off his terrible record. Classic t-Rump!
Where were you during the last war?
farmwuss,
Why do you ask?
God, I love this guy.
OMG, Trump has no idea how many blanket parties he is canceling. The soap left in the socks always got them extra clean….
t-Rump:
The available studies conclude that the medical costs are miniscule compared to the DOD health costs and there would be little disruption of the military.
Maybe when he was younger t-Rump thought he was going to fellate a guy but it turned out to be FTM transition and baby-hands donnie was so disappointed! To this day he hates TGs.
Would America have been better served if Sgt. Ortega, who is a Marine and also served in the US Army, HADN’T served in Iraq and Afghanistan? Can you honor the service of this warrior, even if he is transgendered? Or is that beyond your limited humanity?
She is “retired,” which her bio states, but was only a Staff Sergeant, an E-6? Normally, if you don’t make E-7 by your seventeenth year, you are mustered out.
The DoD classified SSG Ortega as female during all three of her tours of duty. She may have performed her duty well, but that doesn’t make her a man.
Then Ortega must be an idiot, because there absolutely no proof of any Russian collusion, so no impeachment, so no need for deflection. Deflect what? Thanks for today’s humor
J-“The available studies conclude that the medical costs are miniscule…” The available studies also conclude that transgenderism is a menatal disease.
“Mental”
You attack an American soldier because he is transgendered?
Besides lying about the impact of transgendered on the military, it turns out tRump lied about “his generals and military” guiding his decision. The Pentagon apparently knew nothing about the chaotic tRump’s new “policy”. It is unclear if tRump’s tweet have any actual policy implications.
tRump dropped this latest turd to shore up his support with the Covian-class supporters who were questioning his attacks on the uber-conservative AG Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. Classic tRump deflection.
tRump is panicking and is increasingly unstable and has to go. He is a danger to the nation.
Do you think the fat tub of goo-in-chief will meet Kristin Beck?
If he asks me, I’ll tell him that his service was fine, but that he is still mentally ill. I do not accept lies as the truth.
Thanks for your service, Kristin.
Do you still have a dick?
Little jeffuckery would like to know.
dana,
From what medical school did you graduate and where was your residency? Most psychiatrists won’t diagnosis individuals they haven’t examined, yet you and TEACH et al do it breezily! It must be comforting to have beliefs that you never have to examine.
The fact is that you are entitled to your opinions regardless of how ignorant you are regarding the issues. Fortunately your ignorance doesn’t hurt these individuals unless it’s put into practice by ignorant and vile politicos like tRump.
From the sanctimonious little jeffuckery.
Don’t see your problem there do you, little dumbass?
In other, less Drama Queeny type of news, Trump has banned people with a mental disease from serving in the military. But that’s not quite hysterical enough,is it?
j,
It’s your uninformed opinion that the transgendered are mentally ill. Where did you go to medical school? Where did tRump go to medical school?
In fact, the impotent and abnormal tRump twitted some lies, including lying about the Pentagon, with no clear reason to think it can result in any policy change.
tRump thinks he’s dictator. He couldn’t even be bothered to sign an executive order, the nittwit twittered what he thinks is a policy change. The arrogance of power.
We get it. tRump played you guys. He wanted to get you all worked up about transgendered so people would talk about anything except his impending implosion.
You can’t make this stuff up: Lady Gaga tweeted something to the effect “45% of transgenders ages 18-24 have attempted suicide” in an attempt, one guesses, at garnering sympathy for them. The result was hundreds of her readers pointing out, to put It politely, that she’s not very bright. That of course would be an argument against letting them in, as suicide, no matter if you’ve had your private parts cut off or not, is disqualifying for the military.
