A convoy of military vehicles flying a "Trump" flag was caught on video driving through Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday.
In the recording, four vehicles—the first flying a blue flag with "TRUMP" and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" emblazoned in white—drive down Interstate 65, according to a report by the Courier-Journal.
IndivisibleKY, a self-described activist organization formed after President Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, posted video of the convoy on its website on Monday.
Apparently there is some confusion as to whom the vehicles belong.
Tracey Metcalf, administrator for the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, said the color of the convoy suggests the vehicles did or do belong to the Army.
Patrick Hodges, a spokesman for Ft. Knox, told the Courier-Journal that the convoy was not theirs, as did Maj. Stephen Martin, director of public affairs for the Kentucky National Guard.
Army spokeswoman Lt. Col. Jennifer Johnson said that photos of the vehicles were "too blurry to say if they belonged to Army units," according to the report.
A Defense Department spokesman said that flying such a flag would "violate regulations" and suggested that the vehicles could be military surplus vehicles purchased by civilians.
I am not sure which is more troubling, that the military might be all in for Trump, or that there are rabid Trump supporters with an arsenal of military weapons and armored vehicles in their possession.
