Trump defends transgender military ban: ‘They take massive amounts of drugs'
Among other topics, Morgan asked the president, “Why did you feel the need to ban transgender people from serving in the U.S. military?”
In 2017, the Defense Department spent $84.2 million on erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra compared to an “estimated $8 million per year that the Defense Department will spend on health care for about 7,000 transgender troops,” according to the Military Times. The trans military ban, Morgan noted, conflicts with Trump’s pre-LGBT Pride month tweet where he called for “our Great Nation” to “stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation.”
