Trump wants to reinstate hate in the military

Along with the letter, Huckabee Sanders had other PR stunts up her sleeve to turn the presence of cameras to her advantage, even as reporters were champing at the bit to ask about transgender individuals in the military and the future of the attorney general, Jeff Sessions. This is an appalling attack on our service members; it is about bigotry rather than military readiness, reason or science.

The Pentagon could only say it will issue a new policy “in the near future” after consulting with the White House. But let me tell you about myself. Instead of using this as an opportunity to finally provide Trump’s tax returns, Sanders assured Dylan the president had “a lot” of money.

Trump’s suggested ban on transgender people serving in the military counters a previous statement he made during the US presidential campaign. On Twitter Wednesday night, Scaramucci said his financial disclosure had leaked, though such disclosures are made publicly available, and said he would contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department to investigate, curiously tagging Priebus in the tweet and adding the hashtag “swamp”. A RAND study puts it at about 2,500, and the cost of providing medical care for their gender transitions about cost about $2.4 million to $8 million a year, a tiny fraction of the $600 billion defense budget. Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter implemented it last year after a year-long review. He moved up his start-date from August 15 to Wednesday, which one White House official said was an effort to thwart any attempt by Priebus to derail the move, and he has been threatening to fire anyone who doesn’t fully support the president – along with launching a very public attack on Priebus that has unfolded on Twitter and cable news like scenes in a scripted reality television show.

For Sanders, being the mom of three small children lends itself to a point of view not often heard from a briefing room podium. Guys, I really don’t have anything else to add on that topic. “As I do, I’ll keep you posted, but if these are the only questions we have, I’m going to call it a day”, she said.

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Los Angeles, who spent four years on active duty with the U.S. Air Force and continues to serve in the reserves, said Trump’s action “is not based on facts, it is based on naked bigotry”.

“I think the president had made very clear he’s committed to fighting for all Americans”, Sanders said.

On Wednesday morning, Donald Trump announced that transgender individuals will no longer be allowed to serve in the United States military-a policy that, it’s believed, could require the expulsion of thousands of service members, including those who are now deployed in or near combat zones.

It concluded: “My picture is in here so if you see me you can say hi”.

“I can’t speak to anything about another country”, Sanders said.
