President Donald Trump said Thursday he is "doing the military a great favor" by proposing a ban on transgender personnel in the military. "It's been a very difficult situation, and I think I'm doing a lot of people a favor by coming out and just saying it," Trump said, referring to his July 26 Twitter comment that the government would no longer "accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military."
