Why does America let their officials cosplay as military?

The problem is they do see it but are scared of what the orange toddler will do... you can deal with and manage rational idiots but irrational sociopaths are impossible to second guess. So if they keep quiet and don't say anything, they hope he will just go off onto something else...
