Just when you think the Misogynist-in-Chief couldn’t get any more repulsive, the Washington Post is here to tell you that you’re wrong. Oh, so wrong.
During last night’s televised address, President Trump announced that he was reversing his longheld stance that America should pull out of Afghanistan and, instead, would send even more troops into the war torn country.

Defense Secretary Mattis and national security adviser H.R. McMaster, both generals with extensive battlefield experience in Afghanistan, warned Trump about the consequences of withdrawal and cautioned that any move in Afghanistan would have ripple effects throughout the region.
One of the ways McMaster tried to persuade Trump to recommit to the effort was by convincing him that Afghanistan was not a hopeless place. He presented Trump with a black-and-white snapshot from 1972 of Afghan women in miniskirts walking through Kabul, to show him that Western norms had existed there before and could return.

That is because all service members are brothers and sisters. They are all part of the same family. It’s called the American family.”
Maybe if all the transgender women in the military wore vintage mini skirts, Trump would change his mind.
