At the end of July, out of nowhere, Trump released a group of tweets that stated he would be banning transgender Americans from being in the military. Although many did not like this ban or believe it was necessary, most people hoped that it would just disappear, since the military did not appreciate the ban nor had the president ever mentioned it beforehand. Contrary to what those people thought, the White House is moving ahead with the ban and is going to send word to the Pentagon about how they can create a policy that will ban transgender people from the military. They are also directing the Pentagon to stop spending money on medical treatments for those transgenders that are currently serving. All in all, Trump is succeeding on creating a policy that started as a tweet.
