Every one of these these things is 100% objectively false.

This is not a defense of Trump btw

It is, is it? 100%? And objectively too? Then please tell us how the NYSE, DOW and S&P have done in comparison to the DAX, CAC, IBEX, NIKKEI, and HANG SANG since Trump has been in the WH, despite the natural boost post elections give to stock exchanges.

Trump Says Transgender People Will Not Be Allowed in the Military
WASHINGTON — President Trump abruptly announced a ban on transgender people serving in the military on Wednesday, blindsiding his defense secretary and Republican congressional leaders with a snap decision that reversed a year-old policy reviled by social conservatives.

And it represented a stark turnabout for Mr. Trump, who billed himself during the campaign as an ally of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Ya don't let the facts get in the way of a good time lemming.

A prominent Republican senator warned President Donald Trump Thursday “there will be holy hell to pay” if he fires Attorney General Jeff Sessions and dared the commander-in-chief to “accept the consequences” if he made such a move.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of the many GOP lawmakers furious over Trump’s escalating attacks on Sessions, let the president know in no uncertain terms that cutting the former Alabama senator loose from his Cabinet would be met with repercussions.
"There will be no confirmation hearing for a new attorney general in 2017. If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay," said Graham, who has been critical of Trump.

"This effort to basically marginalize and humiliate the attorney general is not going over well in the Senate," he added. "I don't think it's going over well in the conservative world."
"If you believe Jeff Sessions should be fired, use the power you have and accept the consequences," Graham warned.
Sessions, a loyal Trump supporter who was the first senator to endorse the then-candidate during the GOP primary, has found himself the target of unrelenting public attacks from the president over his decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election.
Trump has thus far refused to fire Sessions, leading some to speculate he’s waiting until the August congressional recess, when he could name a replacement who would not require Senate confirmation.
Republican senators, who served with Sessions for years on Capitol Hill, have increasingly and publicly said they’re angry with Trump’s public attacks on his attorney general.

Many have called Sessions offering their support and encouragement as they can't understand why the president would treat one of his most loyal lieutenants in this way.
Graham, meanwhile, added Thursday that Sessions isn’t the only person he’s concerned Trump could fire. He revealed he was working on legislation with bipartisan support that would dictate "a special counsel cannot be fired when they were impaneled to investigate the president or his team unless you have judicial review of the firing."
If Trump "would fire (Special Counsel Robert) Mueller or have somebody fire Mueller because he doesn't like Mueller or Mueller is doing something" he opposes, "then we become Russia."
Going after Mueller "could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency," Graham said.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who is writing the bill with Graham, said Monday night on MSNBC, that the legislation would "make sure the president would only be able to fire a special prosecutor "for cause, and the judicial branch should have a say in whether there is legitimate cause or not."

one of my favorite bit's from the lizza article linked above...

Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” (Bannon declined to comment.)

Scaramucci

Every time I see or hear that name I get flashes of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody.

Just sayin', as you were.

can you do the fandango....

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramucci, Scaramucci, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me...

any other white house fires the person caught saying this....meanwhile, trump pats him on the head.

Again misrepresentation of the truth

All he has actually said is it is not appropriate for these people to be in the armed forces, in a similar way a blind man is not chosen to be a sniper

I am not American but I say to Americans if you want rid of ISIS allow this man to get on with the job you elected him for

AND that swamp needs draining

That's not similar. In fact it's not even remotely close to being similar, it's an entirely fatuous comparison.

Blind people wouldn't be chosen to be snipers for a very obvious reason. Sasha Buchert is a former Marine Corps Scout-Sniper (STA platoon, Echo Co., 2nd battalion, 4th Marines, 2nd Marine Division) and transgender so was chosen because there was no reason not to.

Actually this whole thing with transgenders in the military is turning into yet another Trump classic clusterfuck.

He has cut his own people off at the knees with his Twatter announcement, it's based on fallacies and flawed thinking, and its ill-considered timing is causing chaos. Also how creepy is it he refers to them as 'my generals'.

yeah...in a similar way dwarves and midgets are not chosen to be cabinet builders...would be more apt. The troll runs deep in al
