Don't get me wrong. His reasoning did sound a lot like BS to me. He can't outright say that transgender soldiers are inferior or that they dont want to send those soldiers to transphobic countries in military bases and conflict areas for political reasons or otherwise. There's is definitely a different motive other than just money and Trump put out this statements after speaking with his PR team.

I gave the most likely motive already.

"Trump doesn't want transgenders in the military because he equates all transgender soldiers to Bradley Manning. Manning, a former transgender soldier now known as Chelsea Manning, was responsible for the massive Wikileaks cables.

This is how Trump thinks. He collectivizes entire groups based on the illicit actions of a few and then does all he can to disparage them. To him, the only infallible group are rich, white billionaires in the US."

I will throw out a very simple reason why Trump does not want Transgender people in the military.  Because Obama removed the Ban.  As much as we probably would like to think of a lot of reasons, if we just go by what Trump has done so far to remove any policy put in place by Obama so far then this makes the most sense.  As for Trump excuses, lets be real, he is the king of excuses but he only makes very small attempts to even justify his actions knowing his base will take it up no matter how stupid or full of holes and run with it.
