Trump To Sign Executive Orders Banning DEI And Trans People From Military While Reinstating Anti-Vaxxers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Many of the plans were helped by the Justice40 initiative of former President Joe Biden, which ensured 40% of federal spending on climate and clean energy programs flowed to disadvantaged communities.
53% : In 2018, there were an estimated 14,000 transgender service members in the US military, according to the Palm Center, an independent research institute that has conducted extensive research on sexual minorities in the military.
42% : According to CNN, on Monday, Trump is set to sign three executive orders that would reshape the U.S. military by stamping out, well, basically any and everything MAGA Republicans consider "woke."
39% : Hours after being sworn in for his second term last week, Trump signed an order revoking the Biden administration's 2021 move to allow transgender members to serve.
38% : NewsOne Featured Video CLOSEU.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks with the media during his first official arrival at the Pentagon as Secretary in Washington, D.C., January 27, 2025.
38% : (We were so focused on the anti-trans bigotry and the delusional "anti-white racism" propaganda, we almost forgot about the MAGA-fied rejection of medical science.)
36% : Barring an entire demographic from serving in the military because their hypothetical surgeries might hypothetically take too long is a hell of a way to say: Yeah, we're raging bigots over here, and under Trump, our justifications don't really need to be plausible.
34% : (But, see, if Trump doesn't sign an order to do what had already been done, how will he take credit for it?)
30% : However, the order Trump is expected to sign on Monday goes even further, one of the officials said, and will outline new military standards regarding gender pronouns and state that mental and physical readiness requires transgender service members be banned from the military.
15% : More from CNN:Trump had banned transgender Americans form serving in the military in 2017 during his first administration, but then-President Joe Biden issued an order in 2021 repealing the ban.
