THE PENTAGON — After nearly two weeks of controversial executive orders, President Donald Trump has issued his latest decision: Disbanding U.S. Transgender Command — often referred to as "TransCom" — a unified combatant command created by President Obama to promote LGBTQ lifestyles.
Citing his campaign promise to “end political correctness” in the military, the president reportedly issued the order without consulting his Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, and also chose not to confer with any of the three remaining members of the National Security Council with actual military experience.
“I was aghast to learn that my predecessor stood up an entire combatant command dedicated to such a small issue," Trump said. "These commands are for whole continents, and for those special forces guys, and for the nuclear triad, which by the way, the power, the power is very important to me, but not for turning men into women, or women into men, which is just gross. And you know what? Caitlyn Jenner voted for me, ok?”
Sources at the Pentagon say the President was referring to what was originally known as U.S. Transportation Command, or ‘TransCom’, which was created in 1987 to give military personnel the experience of delayed flights, lost luggage, and those surly flight crews experienced by civilian air travelers.
