If flag burning really bothered Trump then he wouldn’t sign an order that simply encourages more flag burning.
Replies
If he's so concerned about the flag why doesn't he charge those who violate the Flag Code? Wearing the flag as clothing is a violation as well as displaying it lying flat. At the start of every televised sporting event they bring out the flag onto the field in direct violation of the code!

If you want to burn a flag, use the Confederate flag. It’s basically their second flag and it should be fun watching them go crazy over it.

Trump is burning down the U.S. Government. He hates Americans and attacks them daily. In fact I think he gets a headache if he can't find an American to attack by noon. And if he doesn't publicly beat a woman down at least once a week.
