An F-35 fighter jet can't believe how much transgender troops cost the military, after it looked up the figures following tweets from President Donald Trump saying they should no longer serve due to the price tag.

"They spend how much on transgender medical services? $8.4 million? My God that's like four screws and a couple of bolts on my ejection seat," the F-35 told reporters, in between sips of cognac during its lunch break. "I'm so glad Trump is ending this disgraceful waste of military spending."

Trump on Wednesday announced a change in policy for transgender service members in the traditional method of past presidents, by tweeting out his guidance following extensive inter-agency policy discussions on the issue with himself. The Pentagon referred all questions back to the White House since so many people in the building were discussing the change and have been busy doing so for the past 10 minutes.
