With his transgender military ban, President Trump is exploiting both the LGBT community and many of our military heroes in an obvious attempt to distract from his flailing, scandal plagued White House. His assertion that the ban will improve military decisiveness is absurd and a weak attempt at justifying discrimination. It has no place in our military or a 21st Century America. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
