Wow it is so unfortunate that Hunt is so drunk on trump Cool Aid he seemingly can't see the forest from the trees ... with all his military leadership and combat experience and higher education, it is baffling how he is able to completely sanitize trump's blatant character flaws and complete lack mental acumen to be the president of the United States. Very sad.
