Trump's Transgender Ban Draws Late Night Jabs
by EG
After President Donald Trump announced his plan to ban transgender people from serving in the military, the late-night hosts all criticized his decision during their Wednesday, July 26, shows.
The Celebrity Apprentice alum, 71, tweeted the news on Wednesday morning: "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 an capacity in the U.S. Military. 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. Thank you."
James Corden, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah all aired segments slamming the ban (Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien are off the air this week).
