Why does the HuffPo keep a stockpile of Russian flags in the first place?

They had Trump's name on them, so it was probably some sort of special order from one of those places where you can order custom hats, t-shirts, etc. The main question is whether HuffPo authorized this guy to do what he did, or if he did it on his own.

If the former, it is completely unprofessional and unethical for a news organization to sponsor a prank of this sort. If the latter, it is completely unprofessional and unethical for a "journalist" to act in this manner.

So what! I’m proud of my Russian relatives and hope that someday a more representative government will be formed there. I’m proud that Russia has returned to a respect of Christianity, albeit the Russian Orthodox brand, but I know for a fact they are allowing other branches of Christianity to take root and grow.

Worse yet why did HuffPo (or whoever) pay for a supply of Russian flags with Trump’s name superimposed in gold letters on the flag?

One reason and one reason only: To create fake news.
