The Pentagon cannot enforce the Trump administration’s ban on transgender troops serving in the military, a federal court ruled in a decision released Monday that advocates called a “colossal victory.”
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a preliminary injunction against the ban, saying the military cannot remove transgender service members from the ranks and that it must continue to provide medical care for them. The recruitment of transgender troops will still be delayed until Jan. 1, under a delay previously ordered by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

Good strategy.
He has no real issues with this, so he declares it a ban.
Then the courts stop the ban.
Perfect.
He stops the issue and never pisses off the extremists.
The courts get the "blame".

I'm still unsure about the motivation of the transgender ban?

The free surgeries upon arrival is a design just to drive a wedge.
I call it out as evidence that trans folks are being used as DNC divisive agenda sacrificial lambs.
Good job Saint Obama.

Disregarding how silly this sounds when you say it out loud, do you actually think that intentionally undermining one of the three pillars of our government (the judicial system) in order to score a cheap, political victory is a good idea?
