Trump's transphobia masquerading as policy

[Oxx]

The orange buffoon has shown his narrow-minded bigotry again by banning transgender people from serving in the military.

What next? Banning gays?

If he could, he would.

Trump is a crude, vile, bigoted and ego-maniacal person. He lashes out at everyone and everything which does not fit his own personal worldview. What I find most strange about this is that he is from New Yorker City, one of the epicenters of 'alternative lifestyles'. If he had grown up in Sibley, Iowa, I could almost understand this, but New York City??

I have come to the conclusion that many/most of his protestations (such as this ban) are only an act which he puts forward to appease his racist and homophobic (and mostly uneducated) base of voters. This makes his dishonesty doubly troubling. In 2016 Trump got 9.8% of the vote in Manhattan, 21.9% of the vote in Queens.
