Trump: U.S. government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in the military

President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that transgender people should not be allowed to serve in the U.S. military after consultation with experts.

In three different tweets Trump said:

“After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you.”
