He made the announcement this morning on twitter after what he called a consultation with generals and military experts. These are not exact numbers.

Thats out of a total of 1. 3 million service members. Take some policy is going to be something that the white house and the department of defense have to Work Together to lawfully determine and, you know, i would imagine the department of defense will be the lead on that. Its not clear whether current Transgender Service members would have to be discharged or whether the ban applies only to new recruits coming in. Meantime, bay area democrats have blasted the ban.

There are thousands of transgender troops serving loyally and honorably and they have been serving all year. And the president declared open season on them today. This is a witch hunt. Reporter aaron belkin is with the palm center that studies sexual minorities in the in the military. He says that President Trumps statement that they disrupt service and medical information is too expensive is based on bogus information as he says the white houses claim this is a move the military wanted. This ban is dont ask dont tell 2. 0 and it is a shocking attack on loyally serving american troops. This is not about the military. The military did a year of study and concluded that it works. Reporter even local republicans are speaking out against the ban. Doesnt matter if you wear a moustache or a dress. If you are willing to put your life on the line for this country and you can serve and you can do the job well, then thats all that needs to that matters. Reporter there are people, however, who are in favor of this ban. We have a statement here from tony perkins the president of the conservative Family Research counsel simple.
