They're highly trained and want to show their friends how far they ran this morning.

Kind of like when Special Forces guys showed off their morning runs on the same app a few years ago. In a patch of Yemen that they weren't officially supposed to be on.

But between the report that he was big mad about the military having to pay for a funeral for a murdered soldier with a Spanish surname and this clear disdain for Hispanic citizens, maybe it's becoming clear that in the eyes of Trump and his supporters, there is no such thing as 'one of the good ones'.

The Republican Party project is to make sure things get worse, and the 'Responsible Moderate Democrats' make sure things don't get better.
