Trumping the Flag

It is a disgrace to see Donald Trump once again raising an oversized American flag over one of his properties for the express purpose of advertising. He did this in Florida and he is now doing this in California. I have no doubt that this is the same oversized American flag. I am sure he knows the local zoning ordinances of the areas in which he is purposely disobeying the law, all in the name of his self-importance and his pretense of being a patriot. He is not a patriot. He is a lawbreaker or... at the very least, an ordinance-breaker. It is clear from the sale of his property in Florida that the only purpose of this flag-waving is to get attention for his property and himself and to get a good price for his property. It is un-American... Well, maybe not so. Clearly Donald Trump is a patriot of the all-American dollar. With the weakness of the dollar brought about by the administration in the last seven years, what he probably should have done, instead of raising a large American flag, was to raise a large inflated dollar. Perhaps that would have gotten the point across better.

The American people should be OUTRAGED by the way the American flag has been appropriated for greedy personal reasons... certainly I am. As the American flag continues to be used by both leading politicians and leading businessmen for their own purposes... Americans remain silent!!!
