        It's so interesting the way really insecure people go for window-dressing? They did look ridiculous.

        I believe the uniforms were ultimately donated to a marching band.

        I remember that fiasco and wondered if Trump would try it again. He could design uniforms for his cabinet, too. One for Melania, too. Confederate uniform for Sessions, of course.
