Huffpost UK suggested that all of the Mooch's posturing and Trump's tweets about banning transgender folk from the military was very deliberately designed to distract the press from one of the biggest, most damning stories, the testimony of Bill Browder before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
If you haven't read Browder's statement, it's at the bottom of this article.
The press completely fell for Trump's antics, which is not only sad, it's a tragedy for democracy.
