Donald Trump geht auf Fotos des Weißen Hauses an einer amerikanischen Flagge vorbei, die den Boden zu berühren scheint: „Das Weiße Haus hat einen Verstoß gegen den US-Flaggenkodex bestritten, nur wenige Monate nachdem Trump eine harte Bestrafung von Demonstranten gefordert hatte, die Flaggen verbrannten.“

    1. For any international readers or unaware Redditors:

      *Title 4 of the U.S. Flag Code, Chapter 1, states, „The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.“*

    2. You dummies. Infallible God-King President Trump can’t do things wrong! Whatever he does, it is right! /s, obvs

      He looks like he’s really concentrating on walking in a straight line. Seriously, look at his face. 

    4. “The White House has denied the flag was touching the ground”

      What won’t they lie about

      A decent portion of his followers ride around with defaced American flags (recolored black and white, plus thin blue line) on their cars. They ceased caring about respecting the flag or the country for which it stands long ago.

      When Trump hugged the flag he violated the flag code as it’s not supposed to touch anything beneath it

    9. If I had to guess, I think it’s because he doesn’t give a fucking shit about anything in America except for his power over it.

      I would have called this extremely petty a few years ago but now IT’S THE DEMOCRATS FAULT!

      I hate to say it but it won’t matter to his base, their love of the flag, America, etc is just virtue signalling so they can feel superior. It hasn’t ever been about actual principles.

      This is the goon with the “magic ear” who had some gremlins help him stage an assassination attempt and lowered the flag in real time to have a phot op. But he’s ok dodging epstein questions while the stars and stripes are laying on the ground. Make it make sense

      I’m curious, how, like, precious is this flag code?

      If I was evading the cops, and I hid in it, like Jackie Chan did in Rush Hour 3, would the cops have to salute it and refrain from shooting at it?

      Is that one of the reasons why they don’t shoot at coffins with flags draped on them?

      The flag is probably more than 15 years old, so he walked right past it.

      See, it’s not the flag-burning that needs punishment, its the legal and US Constitution protected peaceful protesting … „just months after Trump called for harsh punishment of flag-burning protestors“

    17. It’s breaking like three of the flag codes. And, ironically, according to flag code, if it touches the ground it needs to be burned to ashes.

    18. Because with Trump it’s always about the talking-loudly, not the actual doing.

      He’s oblivious, just in it for headlines, what a poser about flag etiquette
