DEI in the Military will end with Trump

Trump to Issue Executive Order to Remove All Transgender Troops from US Military

Donald Trump is planning an executive order that would lead to the removal of all transgender members of the US military, The Sunday Times reported.

The order could come on his first day back in the White House, January 20. There are believed to be about 15,000 active service personnel who are transgender. They would be medically discharged, which would determine that they were unfit to serve.

It would also lead to a ban on trans people joining the military.

Trump has railed against “woke” practices in the military, saying that some high-ranking officers are often more interested in diversity, equity and inclusion than planning to fight.

Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth, 44, as his defense secretary. The Fox News host and former major in the US National Guard has publicly railed against “weak” and “effeminate” leadership in the military and argued in a recent book that “the next commander in chief will need to clean house.”

He has also said that medical care for transgender personnel is an extravagance the Pentagon cannot afford, adding that focusing on the issues that affect only a small number of people in the military is an example of “trans lunacy.”
