He is also the Commander in Chief of those who have unwisely chosen to make an issue of this.

It will not end well for them if they keep this up.

I’m pretty sure Tump will make sure the patriots are not punished for their enthusiasm.

SEAL Team 6 is Delta Force, operates at the direct discretion of the POTUS.

SEAL Team 6 is US Navy. Delta is US Army. They are similarly elite, but they have somewhat different specialties and missions.

He's not a candidate - he's your boss!

Trump made the unexpected decision to visit Dover to pay respects to a SEAL Team 6 member killed in Yemen.

Just looks like they were saying, "Thank you."

Libs are going nuts about this on social media. Sound like 4th graders, keep saying it is against military law and trying to find out how to report to get maximum response. Libs think rioting is fine and are so fired up about this flag I am glad someone flew it but hope he doesn’t get in too much trouble.

The responses about this have brought out the left’s hatred for the military that they keep denying.

Also, this happened after published reports of Hollywood and ex Obama official calling for military coup against Trump. Maybe this unit decided to say “we’re with HIM”.

So there are already networks of leftists informers around the country, ready to be transformed into the PC NKVD on a moments notice.

I'd say we really dodged a bullet with Trump's election.

“These are the only APPROVED NAVY FLAGS.”

I think you might have too many letters in “flags” for that group.

I hope Trump will not let anything happen. I’m sure it won’t, just some lip service to the media.

It’s funny these idiots get more upset over this than actual violence. Let’s you know how mental they are, and how crazy. Social media has given a voice to the lowest morons under the sun. Every damn day it’s another outrage. Is everything equally outrageous to these children?

He respected one of them who gave everything last week. I can see why they would fly his flag.

It has been reported that the event happened on Sunday, 29 January, 2017.

President Trump had been in office for over a week.

This was in support of the Commander in Chief, not a political candidate.

Does not seem like a large offense.

actually he may have screwed himself a bit on that one, he filled for reelection already to screw with opposing PACs.

This is more ‘FAKE NEWS’.
Trump is not a ‘candidate’...he is their commander & chief.
