Trump suggests loss of citizenship or jail for those who burn U.S. flags

By John Wagner November 29 at 10:55 AM


President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened loss of citizenship or jail for those who burn the American flag, saying such protests — which the Supreme Court has declared to be free speech — should carry “consequences.”

Trump offered his thoughts in an early-morning post on Twitter, saying, “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag.”

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!

He's trying to bait people into actually burning US flags to protest him. Let's not take the bait and let's burn Confederate flags instead and watch all his supporters get all enraged.

I am pretty certain that he is baiting the left with that tweet.  You can try burning Confederate flags if you like but it won't do you much good.  The Trump will just take it as more evidence that the left is a bunch of spoiled brats.

Bingo. On top of it it will give the right more of the high ground, hurt the lefts message as well as just divide the country further. It really is a no brainer childish strategy. Take the lefts message and ACT on it. Not just push it onto others. In fact it is up to the individuals whether they want to believe in the message or not. Forcing people through shaming, suggestions of burning their flags, name calling.....generally anything that shuts down dialogue hurts more than helps. Do people actually think that acting this way will get people to listen to them? Seriously?? Leave the message out there and let people decide. As for law making while I do totally side with the lefts on this it is the same issue. But then again....I do believe that when you have a job to do just do the job and leave personal out the door.

As far as I'm concerned, the left can burn all the American flags it wants at this point. A clear message has been sent to them. Shape up or ship out.
