This dude is hopelessly fucking stupid.

The very nature of warfare is changing at an unbelievable rate (supply chain attacks, drones manufactured in theater, just to name a couple) and this guy is fucking obsessed with transgender and gay people.

If you're conservative and you voted for these guys, and you give any kind of shit about America, you need to start yelling at your reps about this bullshit to get someone with at least some baseline fucking competency in there.

I didn't vote for this bullshit. My city didn't. My state didn't. Y'all in the red states need to step up.
