Basically, the smart people in the room are now working around the tweeting twitterer:
"I know there are questions about yesterday's announcement on the transgender policy by the President," Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford said in a statement. "There will be no modifications to the current policy until the President's direction has been received by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary has issued implementation guidance.
"In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect," he added. "As importantly, given the current fight and the challenges we face, we will all remain focused on accomplishing our assigned missions."
The Department of Defense echoed that message, saying it was "awaiting formal guidance from the White House," according to a statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Dana White. "We will provide detailed guidance to the Department in the near future for how this policy change will be implemented."
