RantCrush Top 5: July 27, 2017

Yesterday the Trump Administration dealt with the backlash over Trump’s announcement that trans individuals will not be able to serve in the military in an unconventional fashion. New White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to take further questions on the ban, and instead pulled out a bizarre fan letter written by a nine-year-old named “Dylan.”

Thank you Dylan (aka Pickle) for your letter to @POTUS! We hope to meet you soon! pic.twitter.com/RtTb6KtsZN
