Last week President Donald Trump caused an uproar when he announced transgender people will no longer be allowed to serve in the United States military. His reasons for this decision—which he outlined on Twitter, of course—were vague, to say the least.


Dozens of celebrities spoke out against Trump's order—including Caitlyn Jenner, a staunch Trump supporter whose relationship with the transgender community has been rocky. "There are 15,000 patriotic transgender Americans in the US military fighting for all of us. What happened to your promise to fight for them?" she tweeted shortly after Trump announced the ban. (See it for yourself, below.)

Jenner's tweet suggested her support of President Trump was starting to wane—which is why an article of clothing she was spotted wearing Thursday (August 3) is perplexing so many people. Photographers caught the former Olympian wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat while driving her convertible in Los Angeles. TMZ has the photo, if you want to see it.

So what does this mean? Does Jenner still support Trump? Is she just trolling everyone? Our commander-in-chief spent a lot of time trying to make LGBTQ+ people believe he had their backs during the election—but this trans military ban proves that's absolutely not the case. There's no denying it. So it's a little unsettling to think Jenner, who calls herself a trans advocate, would still give Trump a thumbs up.

Jenner hasn't commented on this photo yet, but stay tuned.

Update: Sunday, August 6

Jenner issued a statement to TMZ on Saturday saying that she "was horrified" by the incident because she "detests Trump" after his tweets about banning transgender members of the military. What happened next is a bit of a long story:

According to her statement, she grabbed a hat to protect her hair while driving in a convertible to hit some balls at the golf course, took it off at the club, then realized which hat she'd grabbed when she saw it on the floor of the car after. She put it back on so she wouldn't mess up her hair, swapped it for a golf visor when she stopped at Starbucks for a latte, then put it on once again to drive home. However, she forgot her purse at Starbucks, and in her panic, ran and back out with the MAGA hat on—and a paparazzo took the pic on her way back home.


"I apologize to all of the trans community," Jenner concludes. "I made a mistake. I will never do it again and I'm getting rid of the hat."
