On Tuesday night, the media erupted with reports of Secretary of Defense General James Mattis defying President Donald Trump by enacting a so-called “freeze” on the Transgender Military Ban.

In a shocking twist (not), this turned out to be fake news. Mattis is currently developing a plan to enact the trans ban, as directed by the POTUS, which is set for implementation in March 2018.

But hey, why break up a good media lie?

BTW: the source was the left wing "Vox".
