(180 posts)I get the impression that with the exception of Bondi and Leavitt, most of the other staff and cabinet members hate him and each other. The kind of people who's marriages are shams, their kids hate them, no real friends ever. They bond with each other over their shared greed and their hatred and jealousy of other people.

(27,308 posts)Also in Washington there's military staff who oversees lowering and raising the flag. Not sure why they let the flag touch the ground. Even if it's a mechanical system and it failed, they should never have let the flag hit the ground. Very strange. Of course, however in these says you can't tell what's been fabricated.

(13,637 posts)I also hear crime scene tape has been wrapped around the perimeter by protestors. A giant hole still is gaping open where the East Wing was connected and demolished by him.
Truly a terrible scene.

(13,637 posts)The Rose garden would still be there, but the obscenely large flag pole in the back he had put in (one of two--the other in the front) isn't perfectly straight. I think the picture shows this. Maybe it was too big and interfered with helicopters as you suggested, or the rigging failed--he often hires shady companies.

You ALWAYS show respect to The Flag. Even the old versions, before 50 states. You NEVER let it touch the ground, much less leaving it like that for even a moment or two. NEVER. NOT EVER!!!

(6,525 posts)I wonder whether his voters have realized yet that people with sense consider them to be morons. And laughingstocks.

(264 posts)As an eagle scout, multi-service veteran and a diehard American this disgusts me. 12 year old Boy Scouts have more respect for the flag then the Orange menace would ever have.
popsdenver
(1,039 posts)that the flag is used for Photo ops, like the one of him humping it on stage.
I also imagine that he already has people covertly working on a NEW flag design for The U.S. One that says United Corporations of America, or better yet, just a large one with his face on it.....
He wanted AirForceOne to have an outside color scheme of Horizontal stripes, Blue-White-Red, much like the Russian flag, so maybe he will just re-arrange the order of the stripes so it doesn't exactly match the order of the colors on Russia's flag, like he was forced to do on AirForceOne........

(88,533 posts)Just now realizing that things arent working out like you planned?
- Youre not the new king of the universe like you expected to be.
- Youre surrounded by criticism, bad publicity, and people you cant trust because they have their own agendas and they see your growing weakness. (Hell, EVERYBODYS starting to see THAT!)
- Youre feeling your age - watching yourself sliding steadily (and often painfully) downhill, health-wise. (By now, EVERYBODY can see that, too!)
- And your wife would much rather stay in New York than be by your side, gazing at you with worshipful eyes (like Nancy Reagan always looked at Ronnie all the time). Your marriage is nothing but a PR front by now. And you cant hide that or lie about it effectively anymore, either!
Even your own body is starting to rebel against you. Its not allowing you to lie your way back to invincibility anymore, much less even halfway-decent health. How many meds does it take, every day, to keep you propped up, by now?
And politically, the best strategists and planners are already considering whos next. Its becoming a common and widely-accepted truth: that YOURE the one whose time is running out.
Nothing lasts forever, donald. Not even you. And deep-down, I suspect youre starting to realize its unavoidable, much as you wish it isnt.
