Liberals seethe over Trump's 'tacky,' 'monstrous changes.'
President Donald Trump installed two big, beautiful flagpoles on the White House grounds on Wednesday, and leftists are losing their minds.
Trump announced the installation on Tuesday, saying the flagpoles were "always missing from this magnificent place." After the 100-foot flagpoles were put in place, the left-wing media ripped the administration for the changes to the White House grounds.
The Daily Beast reported on the new flagpoles, calling them one of the latest "monstrous changes" Trump has made to the White House. The "monstrous changes" in question also include renovations to the Rose Garden to make it easier for women to walk on with high heels, according to Trump.
The publication also characterized the patriotic flagpoles, which will fly the American flag and the POW/MIA flag, as "tacky."
The flags weren't the only things that sparked outrage from the left. Trump spoke to reporters on the South Lawn during the installation, when he was asked about the deportation efforts being rolled out by the administration. In response, Trump turned to the workers and jokingly asked if any of them were illegal immigrants.
"We've got to get the bad people out of here first, and we're doing that," Trump said. "We're taking them out by the thousands. Murderers, drug dealers, people that are mentally insane from insane asylums."
"Any illegal immigrants in there?" Trump joked, turning to the workers at the press conference. "No? If they were, they'll find out."
Mediaite promptly reported on the incident, calling it a "stunning moment" and accused the president of "laughing as he threatened to destroy someone's 'whole life.'" The reason the president was laughing, of course, was because he was making a joke.
Mediaite also accused Trump of taking a break from "threatening Iran" to oversee the installation of the flagpoles, suggesting the president is putting foreign policy on the back burner. The article failed to note that Trump took several questions related to the conflict during the press conference.
Despite this, Trump stuck to his big, beautiful flagpoles, encouraging future administrations to keep them up on the White House grounds as a "magnificent" display of patriotism.
Haters hate Trump and the USA!
Libs only like American flags when they are on fire đŸ”¥.
They want to destroy all Symbols of America and America too. They are our enemy.
The RATs sure know how to pick the hills to die on. 80/20 every time.
Liberals are idiots.
“”Leftists rage over Trump’s latest patriotic installment at the White House”””
Leftists rage over.....EVERYTHING
I was waiting for the liberal explosion, Trump knew exactly what he was doing! Liberals hate America.
Lighten up, demonicRATS. One day you’ll have another ‘RAT in The White House and he or she or they/them can fly 2 big beautiful rainbow flags or 2 big beautiful Mexican flags.
It’ll be good optics when they take the flagpoles down.
Think of them as decorations for the coming national holiday, Trump’s Birthday.
Don’t worry libs, the next Dem president will replace the U.S. flags with those of Palestine and Mexico.
Don’t count on it. The democrats party is at death’s door.
His own money. Putting his money where his mouth is.
Uh-huh.
Although it may sound unlikely to some, it helps to think beyond the conventional viewpoint.
What sort of event do you think would lead to the demise of the Democrat party?
Obviously.
That’s because leftists are mentally ill.
Someone needs to pin down their exact and official height, the left and much of the media is saying they are 88 feet high, which is driving their negative associations narrative for the flag poles.
Does MS-13 have a flag?
