Rick Perry: ‘I Totally Support’ Trump’s Decision to Ban Trans Military Service and ‘I Don’t Check the Price of Viagra’
Energy Secretary Rick Perry is defending Donald Trump’s decision to ban transgender people from military service saying it’s “not very wise from a standpoint of economics.”
“I totally support the president in his decision,” Perry, an Air Force veteran and the former Governor of Texas, told reporters on Friday after speaking to workers at an air conditioning manufacturer. “The idea that the American people need to be paying for these types of operations to change your sex is not very wise from a standpoint of economics.”
Asked about recent reports that the amount it would cost just $2.4 million to $8.4 million to provide gender transition-related health care coverage to transgender troops while the military spends $84 million treating erectile dysfunction, most of it on Viagra, Perry responded:
“You know what, I don’t check on the price of Viagra.”
