It has emerged that Donald Trump could be set to ban all transgender individuals from the US military with an extreme executive order. This drastic move might occur as soon as he returns to the Oval Office on January 20.
Sources claim that over 15,000 active military members who identify as transgender could face a dismissal based on medical disqualification, deeming them unfit for service. This comes days after a clip resurfaced of Trump seemingly throwing his support behind the trans community.

This comes at a critical juncture when various branches of the US Army are struggling to meet their recruitment figures. The former president has criticized modern ‘woke’ military tactics and indicated that some senior military figures appear to prioritize diversity and inclusivity initiatives over combat readiness.
Information from several sources at The Times suggests even long-standing personnel will be ousted from their roles. One source highlighted: “These people will be forced out at a time when the military can’t recruit enough people. Only the Marine Corps is hitting its numbers for recruitment and some people who will be affected are in very senior positions.”
Adding to tensions this week, Donald Trump Jr, implied Joe Biden was setting the stage for World War III before his father’s potential administration by allowing Ukraine to target Russia with American missiles.
The decision marks a momentous shift in US foreign policy, a mere two months shy of Donald Trump’s anticipated return to the White House following his success in the US election.

Trump Jr. took to social media with strong words: “The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” his tweet reads.
“Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned! Imbeciles! “.
Joining him with her concerns is Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opined: “On his way out of office, Joe Biden is dangerously trying to start WWIII by authorising Ukraine the use of US long-range missiles into Russia.

Their apprehensions amplify the unease felt by certain Washington insiders who fret that allowing Ukrainian forces to wield US long-range weaponry on Russian territory might provoke an expansion of the current hostilities. They caution that an upsurge in aggression from Vladimir Putin could ensue, potentially leading to strikes on US interests or allies.
