The President took to Twitter Wednesday morning to announce that he will bar transgender people from serving in the US military.

"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the US Military," Trump tweeted.

Adding, "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

The announcement reverses an Obama-era policy that allowed transgender troops to serve openly in the military.
