I’ve always felt if you don’t love our flag, leave our country!
One of the worst things the SCOTUS ever did to degrade our country was to treat flag-burning as protected free speech.
Our moron Justices forgot its hate speech - and by far and large - the Left hates America.
Twitter in full meltdown too.
They only thing more important than flag burning to the left is Abortion.
Keep digging libs!
Hillary should not be allowed to run. Yet she ran. Nobody should be allowed to burn the flag. No citizenships will be stripped. The tell is when he says “should not be allowed.”
In the Boy Scouts, I learned you were supposed to burn a US flag which you had allowed to touch the ground.
It’s bad for the enviroment so I cannot believe the Greens or Dems would allow this to happen.
Best election evah.
My arm is getting tired from all the Heil Hitler’s.
Pray America woke
This should be illegal just like yelling “fire” in a crowded building
I recently burned about 50 flags, in public. I invited local media, the mayor and the Fire Department.
We were following the Flag Code and respectfully disposing of unserviceable flags by burning them.
The local news did a great report and treated it with the respect I desired.
That said, burning a US flag in protest is detestable. Instead of jail, I propose that there be a law stating the maximum penalty for beating the snot out of a protester who burns a flag. I propose a $20 fine.
I joined Twitter just so I can get Trump tweets. I just love how he trolls the liberals.
Dude’s trollin’ the liberals.
I love it. :)
Proper disposal of a flag can involve burning. So I guess it’s the thought behind the burning that would be illegal. Thought Crime. Yay.
I totally disagree.
Don’t suppress it.
We need to see and know who would burn the flag and take action by boycotting and publically shaming them. Free speech counters free speech.
But the government? No, the government should not take action. This would be totalitarian. We don’t need to go there.
Obviously I disagree but I think Trump suspects that natural leftist reaction to this will be to yell on TV or have a flag burning event. Long term he’ll look good and sound reasonable in contrast
Flag Desecration by country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration
Wow. For those of you who apparently agree with Trump on this, what other forms of protest would you also punish people for? What other expressions of speech or thought should the Federal Government be able to imprison you over?
You are allowed to burn the American flag in this country, but don’t ever get caught burning a Rainbow Flag!
I watched a speach by, Scalia where he addressed this very topic as a jurist. It was something to the effect of people who burn the flag suck but nothing in the constitution says you can’t, their you go shut the book and go to bed. Then I think he said something about plastering their face aim over so prospective future employers could get a good look at them
The only problem with that position is the fact that many people fought and died to protect the right to burn the flag.
Congress is not empowered to legislative flag burning.
I want people who take the decision to burn their flag to be able to do so out in the open where I can see who they are.
The reason I wouldnt burn my flag is that I don't want to, not because it is illegal to do so.
Let them burn their flag out in the open where we can observe them. It is illegal for someone to burn my flag and I intend to see that law strictly enforced. It is also illegal for someone to create public hazard and that should law should also be strictly enforced.
Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants. If the broad light of day could be let in upon mens actions, it would purify them as the sun disinfects.
