Donald Trump Reloaded!

It's one of many steps in the process of erasing trans people from public life. Keeping them out of the military is one way, bathroom bills are another way.

Wouldn't it be ironic if a whole bunch of closeted trans people suddenly came out, thus increasing trans presence in public life, in order to avoid getting drafted into the Iran meat grinder that's probably coming.

If that works there'd probably be a ton of cis guys pulling a Klinger too.

Great.

First they were been lying that all trans women are actually cis-male predators trying to get into women's restrooms.

NOW, they'll be saying that transgender soldiers are actually cisgender COWARDS trying to get/stay out of the military.

This bull is writing itself.

Basic fascist playbook, the enemy is both too strong and too weak.

No way this actually came from Trump, he never plans that far ahead. I'm sure the Heritage Foundation guys he brought in to actually do the work of running the country for him are eager to ban everyone who isn't a straight cis man from the service, but no reason to credit Trump with it.

I think he mentioned it during his ramblings, but I doubt he made the decision to move forward with this. He may have just signed off on it once they told them what they wanted to do.

[J!!]

Maybe we can lighten the mood a bit?

Oh, and on a related note:

Should have thought of that sooner, you dipsticks!

[McAvoy]

This will be an expensive lesson for the US if he were to truly enact them. They complained about Biden, wait until they see what Trump has in store for them and us.

I think the tariffs thing might go away once Trump is told and realizes that this could very well cost his legacy. If you make food twice as expensive as they were then with Biden, make anything much more expensive than Biden, he may not recover from that. Even his own biggest supporters will openly question it.

Nevermind dismantling practically the whole government.

I do honestly worry his bottomless stupidity will remove us from being a super power.

Plus the tariffs against Canada and Mexico would de facto mean unilaterally pulling out of the trade deal established by... his own first administration.

If his goal was to make it so absolutely nobody trusts the US to negotiate in good faith, that would do it.
