Not true.
The military already released a statement that they were going to comply with CURRENT laws until such time actual legislation saw drawn up, passed and they were given proper guidance through official channels.
You cannot dictate policy through Twitter.
I can almost guarantee that any presidential order will be immediately struck down as unconstitutional because the Supreme Court already figured that shutout with the 14th amendment two years ago.
Legislation would take longer, still be unconstitutional and probably fail anyway because a lot of republicans are turning against Trump and the party.
Many people will not want to hear this, But much of our army was outraged a few weeks ago when orders were issued that trans woman soldiers shower with female soldiers even if they possess make genitalia. Transitioning troops were often listed as not battle ready. VA resources were being tied up by troops undergoing reassignment. The proposed trans ban was welcomed by many in our armed forces.
Every reservist I work with. The guys down at my Dad's legion post. My friend that has to write and proofread procedural manuals. My friend's supply sergeant wife. Heck, even my inlaws from the navy (m+f). I have yet to personally speak with a (current or former) soldier that supports it or one who has stated that their command chain supports it.
Thank you

Doesn't really matter anyway though, the troops will do what they are told. When top tier leadership says to, you fucking follow.
Try asking the millennial generation who are serving, you might be surprised.
