    Of course. If it’s not about him he does not give a single shit. Except to rage about how he’s not the center of attention.

    Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.

    If Trump was anywhere close to as strong and admirable as he claims to believe himself to be, he’d freely offer respect and honor to Carter, secure in the knowledge he had plenty to spare.

    But instead he’s a pathetic, weak, frightened child, terrified at the thought that someone else might get some respect when he so desperately needs it himself.

    There’s nothing Trump loves more than showing off what an asshole he is.

    Constantly proving what a massive piece of old fat shit he is and somehow people either don’t care, make excuses for him or just don’t see it.

      It’s pretty newsworthy, when a noted flag-molester grossly violates US Flag Code.

        This is not part of flag code. Federal orders only apply to federal flags, like federal buildings and military bases. As noted in the article, Florida has ordered a corresponding period for state properly. But Mar-a-lago is entirely private property. We already know Trump is a piece of shit, we don’t need to give him more airtime.

      I agree with your stance, but I also think its important this stuff is committed to the public record, just so historians can be fully assured of his personality and that the people of the time did notice and scathe it too.

      I tend to agree. It’s disrespectful, but Trump doesn’t have a single respectful bone in his body. It’s another example of him being shitty or incompetent, but not much more than a headline.

      His advisors are salivating at their ideas on how to rip the country apart and turn it into some Christian nationalist hellhole further controlled by oligarchs. I really could give two shits about the flag.

        Not recording history risks repeating previous mistakes a lot more than recording it. And you record as much as possible because you have no idea what might be important in the future or why. Even something as trivial as this.

          I wish I could remember where it was, but I recall a website that just kept track of the day to day highlights of every absurd thing he did. My Google fu is failing me now, but I definitely agree it should be part of his permanent record.

          I think what frustrates me is he does these little stunts where he jingles his keys with his left hand and we all stare (myself included), while he has dozens of other terrible things cooking.

          The left is doing it too right now. “Well we should have / could have prosecuted him, but we didn’t. Anyways, here is a list of crimes he’ll never be punished for”.

          Again, I’m not disagreeing with you at all, I’m just tired already, and I want off this ride.

            Not for nothing but the left did impeach him. Twice. It’s not like they aren’t trying to hold him accountable.
