Seriously, what is with these guys in this Trump photo?

Does Trump only want to hire bald guys, to make his hair look good?
Why are there so many Republican guys doing the Voldemort chrome dome look? Is it a sign of a secret society?

Guy walks into a gun shop and asks the 'smith to modify his .38 revolver for bear hunting. The flabbergasted 'smith says it can't be done, but the customer insists and will pay him double. So the 'smith says "wait here," and goes into the back room to replace the grip inserts with smooth grips; he bobs the hammer to a nubbin, grinds off the sights, chamfers the barrel, frame and all the edges, and ends up polishing it a fine fault. He then presents it to the customer. The customer is completely miffed:

"How is this gonna help me hunt bears?!"

The 'smith answers: "Sir when you shoot one, it won't hurt you so much when he takes it from you and rams it up your ass."

A reverse image search identified them as the National Border Patrol Council.

Trump says U.S. officials letting in illegal immigrants so they can vote

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday accused U.S. authorities of speeding citizenship proceedings for some illegal immigrants so they can vote, returning to a core issue as he girded for a second debate against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

"They're letting people pour into the country so they can go and vote," Trump said during a meeting with representatives of the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents Border Patrol agents, at Trump Tower in New York.

They seem to be an extension of the AFL-CIO. In their mission statement, it seems to me that they pick and choose which laws (they call them policies) they follow.
The NBPC Mission

We are the guardians of non-supervisory Border Patrol Agents and support personnel assigned to the United States Border Patrol.

We protect Border Patrol Agents against frivolous lawsuits, overzealous prosecutors, and unwarranted or disparate administrative actions.

We safeguard conditions of employment, agreements, practices, employee rights, and the labor laws of the United States.

We strive to ensure a fair and equitable workplace free from favoritism, intimidation, disparate treatment, and harassment.

We investigate and report fraud, waste, and abuse within the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol..

We seek to preserve the Border Patrol motto: "Honor First" and the oath of office sworn by all Border Patrol Agents.

We promote immigration laws and policies that contribute to the security of the United States and oppose policies that restrict the sworn duties of Border Patrol Agents.

We represent the employees with honor, judiciousness, and professionalism.

And lastly; they have a Facebook page that give all glory to Rrump. I'll let you look that one up.

with a thick, full mane of hair? No, it would be too much of a threat to him. Nobody can ever have or do anything better than him.
