The US president was photographed adding a blue stripe to an outline of the star-spangled banner, rather than correctly filling in the 13 alternating red and white stripes, representing the original colonies.

Mr Trump was accused of hypocrisy following his attacks on NFL players for failing to respect the flag and kneel for the national anthem before games. The Republican also, notoriously, hugged an American flag after making a speech attacking illegal immigration.

Activist and songwriter Holly Figueroa O’Reilly said: “American flag’s stripes are red and white. Trump should know this, considering the fit he throws when someone kneels at a football game, ‘disrespecting the flag’.”

DJ, I get your question completely. And if I may? I’d like to modify it a little to read:

Further, why are NFL players’ Peaceful protests against Police brutality of unarmed Black males considered as “disrespecting the flag” and military veterans but Trump’s actual misuse of the flag in his very public attack against a true American war hero is considered acceptable?

The question, of course, is rhetorical. It’s pure White-racist, hypocritical BS. Trump cynically peddles that garbage to mask his own character deficiencies and insecurities and feed his supporters.

All of America knows it.
