"...As the president returned from Palm Beach on Monday night..."

EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING FLAG ON THE GROUND.

Let's talk about how his taxpayer-funded THREE DAY WEEKENDS are now TAXPAYER-FUNDED FOUR DAY WEEKENDS.

As the president returned from Palm Beach on Monday night, some eagle-eyed social media users were quick to point out that as he walked, an American flag could be seen on the ground behind him, a clear violation of the U.S. Flag code.

The code states the following: “The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.”

If it's not, OK. I still have an issue with paying for THREE DAY WEEKENDS, though.
