Many supporters of the president predicted this announcement would drive the left batty.
Watching @realDonaldTrump and @Scaramucci throw the MSM and Dems into panic by Tweeting out the Transgender military ban is a work of art.

The media will absolutely freak out at Trump’s military/transgender announcement. I bet the public backs it 75-25, at minimum.

Trump is banning all transgenders from the military. To those who believed Trump would be a friend to LGBTs, time to admit you were conned.

Even if you’re against U.S. military imperialism, Trump rolling back trans rights via FUCKING TWITTER is a terrifying precedent.
