Stephen Colbert had a lot to say about Donald Trump’s cruel and unusual announcement yesterday that trans people would be banned from serving in the military in any capacity.
“I began my day today as I often begin my days, by checking Donald Trump’s Twitter feed. Just to see how far the crazy has spread. And today, I really think he’s off his meds, as he’s gone from crazy to cruel, tweeting:

“Thank you?”, gasped Colbert. “F**k you.”
Colbert then pointed out Trump’s hypocrisy, and his earlier tweet about fighting for the LGBT community.
“What the hell does he think the T in LGBT stands for? Trump? Tomato? ‘I’d like an LGBT sandwich. Hold the mayonnaise, and no gay stuff.’ The whole thing took the Trump supporter Caitlyn Jenner by surprise.
“Caitlyn, I don’t know if I’m the first person to break this to you, but he’s a liar.”
News flash, fool. He was lying. https://t.co/0SzGtaJPDT

Colbert also slammed Trump for making the announcement via Tweet (“That’s like your wife divorcing you by cookie bouquet.”) and ripped Trump for being a draft dodger.
