I know this isn’t Stolen Valor, but it still just looks wrong.
And not because he’s a dork;
Because he appears to be impersonating a biker/vet.

Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or… well, like Bruce, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.

I have a serious question. Assuming Bruce loses the election to JB - on innaguration day does JB walk up to Bruce, take out his big Bowie knife and cut the “Governor” patch off the vest?
What will he do with Bruce’s tats?
