PHOTO: See Caitlyn Jenner's tweet Condemning President Trump's Ban on Transgenders Serving in the US Military

-
Reactions have been trailing President Donald Trump's move to stop transgender from serving in the US Military, sighting heavy cost of medical care. It is said that it will cost the Government about $8million in medical bills for the transgender soldiers, who are just about 1.5% of the entire US military population.

This according to the President, would be better is they do not serve in the Military, so that such 'unnecessary' expenditure will be channeled to other pressing needs. He also insists that what it takes to maintain a transgender (medical wise) in the Military, is far more than what is being spent on a non-transgender person serving in the same US military.

This surely is a bombshell to the transgender community and those already serving in the US military. It seems to me, like he tricked them; especially the likes of Caitlyn Jenner who openly supported Trump during his campaign in the Presidential election.

The President who has had a rough week, (it has been rough since he took over) in his usual way, took to his twitter handle to make this shocking statement. He tweeted:

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
....victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you


 ...Now see his tweet before he was 'elected' President..

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.


Caitlyn Jenner who herself is a transgender (rolling eyes), in a move to give a voice to the transgender community, took to her twitter handle to say:

Caitlyn Jenner ✔ @Caitlyn_Jenner
There are 15,000 patriotic transgender Americans in the US military fighting for all of us. What happened to your promise to fight for them?
