In reply to the discussion: Defining image of the Trump presidency [View all]pandr32
(13,642 posts)14. I wish we could go back to before he started his changes.
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.

Is this at white house or Mar a Lago? They let the flag touch the ground. If he fell there's no one to assist him either

The photo says White House. Mar a Largo is in southern FLA so would not be wearing a heavy overcoat.

Yes. You NEVER let the flag hit the ground, much less leaving it there in a heap.

The flag needs to respected. But I know that the "person" in the photo could care less.

That photo combined with the pharma photo are definitely the most defining to date...

The fact the new flag polls are indeed 88 feet should have sent alarm bells off in the media

No matter how pissed off I have been at our government since I was young I never would have allowed that.

Your final sentence reminds me of something that happened several years ago.
