26 Jul Donald Trump Places Ban On Transgender People Serving In The US Military

Following a roster of questionable decisions, Donald Trump has announced that transgender individuals will not be allowed to serve in the US military. The president noted that the armed forces must remain “focused on decisive and overwhelming victory”.

Trump says this decision was made after consulting with “generals and military experts”, although he did not name any specifically. The ban was announced in a series of tweets, a somewhat surprising platform for such a major policy announcement.

The announcement then reinstates the ban on transgender service members, who have been allowed to serve since last year. Defense secretary Ash Carter had lifted the ban last year under the Obama administration, allowing all current transgender members to serve openly.
