Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) on Wednesday tore into President Trump’s decision to ban transgender people from serving in the military, saying the president is an “impotent leader” using fear of the transgender community “to score political points.”

“Banning any qualified person from serving their country, because of who they are is both discriminatory and bad national security policy,” Gallego said in a series of tweets.

The Arizona lawmaker, an Iraq War veteran, added that Trump will “never understand complex military needs” because he doesn’t have the “experience or intellectual capacity to learn.”

5. Make sense now why @realDonaldTrump admires Putin. Both use fear of LGBTQ community to keep control of their base.
