Trump Attacking Transgender Service Members
ANYBODY ELSE would have at least dressed up and announced it live, in front of people, on camera. Not Donald Trump. He tweeted it, probably because by this time he has to. I know internet and social media addiction when I see it. And presidential trolling is simply unacceptable. Trump should be censored for attacking Attorney General Sessions on Twitter, among other violations. When, oh when are the powers that be at Twitter going to put a stop to Trump's nonsense? But that's another matter. We digress. Henceforth transgenders may not serve in the military, tweeted the proclamation, ruining the lives of roughly six thousand transgender military members. There is no evidence, at least so far as the military has made public, that transgenders soldiers perform any less effectively than other military personnel. They will presumably be discharged, though they did nothing wrong. According to The Prevaricator-in-Chief, this was strictly a military decision. If you believe that, Trump'll no doubt be happy to sell you some land in central Florida, or stock in one of his Atlantic City casinos which he no longer owns. So now we sit back and wait for the protest, for the uprising, for the pro transgender in the military demonstrations all across the fruited plain, correct? Various groups are said to be organizing for this even as we reread Trump's tweet, with the usual revulsion and disbelief. This time all kinds of liberal activists can be expected to show up, and maybe some of them will be wearing military fatigues and waving flags. Trump has already come out against Muslims, Mexicans, and now transgenders. Can blacks and gays be far behind?
