At least CNN and MSNBC will now have something to talk about other than Russia.
THAT was Trump's plan, thus the tweet!

you guys should know this is the president's M/O by NOW!
What's the president going to do with the 250 or so transgenders that serve their country now?
Probably true yet the media keeps falling for it say what you will about Trump he can play the media like a violin.
I agree! He can play the media well, AND us!!!
I don't feel played with this decision. I feel vindicated.
Instead of coddling & encouraging this debilitating mental illness we should be seeking to treat it for what it is until a cure can be found.
I'm not talking about his decision on this, one way or the other, gramps.
What I am talking about is President Trump's ability to tweet the media and us, in to another frenzy, in order to change the subject off of the Russian government interference and possible Trump campaign coordination news...Jared's on the Hill under oath and who knows who else from his prior campaign...
This action today, a controversial one, is exactly what he needed to change the topic and divide us, even more than he already has....it's his way of keeping his support, when he is in real and mental need for it imo...
He has very good street smarts and instincts regarding the issues that divide the right and the left.
Trump didn't even speak with the Pentagon or Dept of Defense about this move...it was off the cuff, but at the same time, with purpose....he knows what he is doing, he's not stupid at all...as many seem to think, especially in street fights.
The news reported the Pentagon lines were ringing off the hook after his shocking tweet, trying to get this new policy confirmed or detailed and they knew nothing about it and kept referring all calls to the Whitehouse....
