In response to "why did Obama wait so long....." this seems to be a common theme among Trump defenders, where you look to pick apart a previous move or action and make some assumption as to motive, to villify either Clinton or Obama, as a means to mitigate the incompetence, recklessness or ignorance of Donald Trump. For the record , Ashton Carter former Defense Secretary in 2016 dropped a long standing pentagon rule regarding "openly transgendered" serving in military. There was no edict from the White House or Barack Obama. For one please get your facts straight, two distract,deflect, misrepresent,shift blame etc. Does not mitigate the current POTUS lack of humanism, lack of honesty or integrity or his incompetence to the job. My opinion of course, but real facts and daily briefings of his actions would sure seem to confirm this.
