Kim Kardashian tweeted her disappointment at President Trump’s transgender military ban announcement on Wednesday, saying it is “simply wrong.”
“Banning transgender people from serving our country is simply wrong,” the reality TV star tweeted to her 54.4 million followers. “We should be so grateful to anybody who wants to serve!”

Trump’s announcement on the ban, made Wednesday morning via Twitter, has been met with shock across the political spectrum. Thousands of transgender people already serve in the armed forces.
Kardashian’s former stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender activist and reality television star, said on Twitter on Wednesday that Trump broke his promise to protect the LGBT community. Jenner is a Republican.
