WASHINGTON — President Trump signed four executive orders and one proclamation Monday, including edicts prohibiting “gender radicalism in the military” and eliminating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs from the military.
Trump, 78, told reporters aboard Air Force One that he also signed orders reinstating military members forced out by vaccine mandates; mandating a process to develop an “American Iron Dome”; and a proclamation commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz during his trip back to Washington from Miami.
The president had signed an order on his first day in office revoking the Biden administration’s 2021 directive that allowed trans people to serve openly in the military, but the new EO goes further.
The Monday order, first previewed by The Post, will directly prohibit any service member who identifies as a gender other than their birth sex from serving or enlisting, on grounds of mental unfitness.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was directed to make and implement the policy after Trump signs the order.
The order also directs Hegseth to ban biological men and women from sharing bathrooms, bedrooms and changing areas while in the military, and puts an end to the use of “invented and identification-based pronoun usage.”
YES!!!!! It’s about time. Lord, why can’t we keep TRUMP forever???? Already MAGA!!!!!
