Is that real? I can’t believe no one at the White House didn’t catch that. But maybe that speaks volumes about our current White House.

Is he blind?

According to the U.S. flag code, the flag should never touch anything beneath it. That guidance, according to the Cornell Law School, reads: “The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.”



On another note, I thought he would walk slumped over, but he walks tall

... appears to be making any attempt to rescue the flag. That is telling, and it's telling us something really, really bad. Trump's contemptuous disregard for this unforgivable travesty should be a red flag the size of his asinine ballroom. He. Is. EVIL.

These people value nothing but money

(there, I fixed it for ya! ) But you had a good idea there!

Discussing what to do after the flag was already flopped on the ground.
Or maybe just one guy watching while the other gathers or balls it up like he's collecting dirty towels off a locker room floor.
A flag that large needs at least four to six people just to manage the flag as it comes down to keep it from touching the ground, not counting the person lowering it.

the hypocrites are still in the building.

If you are willing to wear the flag as an item of clothing- a shirt, the lining of a suit jacket, or a bikini-

you have no concept of flag etiquette.

Pete Hegseth has often used an American flag handkerchief as a pocket square as well as the flag liner for his suit jackets.

"COMBATING FLAG DESECRATION: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to restore respect, pride, and sanctity to the American flag and prosecute those who desecrate this symbol of our freedom, identity, and strength to the fullest extent permissible."

Lock him up!

Trump's 2025 executive order
On August 25, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to increase prosecutions for flag burning.

Vigorous prosecution: The order directs the Attorney General to "vigorously prosecute" those who violate existing laws in ways that involve desecrating the flag and to "clarify the scope of the First Amendment exceptions".
Immigration penalties: It also instructs relevant agencies to deny or revoke visas, residence permits, or other immigration benefits for non-citizens who desecrate the flag in a manner that allows for such remedies under federal law.
Intended limitations: Legal experts have noted that prosecutions could be brought only for actions connected to flag burning that are not protected by the First Amendment, such as arson, theft, or inciting "imminent lawless action".
Expected legal challenge: Free speech advocates and legal experts state that the order runs contrary to established First Amendment law and will likely face court challenges

Trump walking right past America on the ground

Hope people are still seeing it 100 years from now, and are still marveling at all the bullshit we put up with.

Traitor, NAZI, Sexual Psychopath: Trump

I think this photo will enrage a lot of people.

@ sunset the flag should be taken down and folded properly and it should not touch the ground.

by burning it.

they really emphasized the flag code and at overnight camp (mine was 2 weeks), the girls rotated in groups for who did the color guard/flag duty, the mess hall, campsite/latrine cleaning, etc.

There was a whole ritual every evening, when the flag at our camp was lowered (with "Taps" sung, but just the first verse) and the assigned group did the "triangle folding" of it to put it away for the evening.

IIRC, if the flag hits the ground, it is supposed to be disposed of (burned). The flag can fly 24/7 on a pole as long as it is lit at night. If there is no light on it at night, it is supposed to be lowered.

because he's imagining it's a 13-year old girl.

"peoples host"????

Fitting?

calf level? I have never seen pants look like that.

Called a leg bag. The shape is very clearly outlined under the pant leg.

were not positioned on their calves.

Can’t wait for the day he blows that thing up or some aide neglects to get it closed all the way.

Solution remove them
