And feels more insecure than confident.
A true leader just needs one flag. If any.

He is just showing everyone that he is a Big Dick. Not that he has one, it's that he wanted one.

He doesn't even know what a flag raising is called.

I assume he'll follow flag code and take them down in the evenings or in the rain.

I'm just waiting for the next Democratic administration. We'll tear down these nazi flag poles and undo anything else he's done to make our house so tacky.

I'm just waiting for the plastic pink flamingos to be put on the WH lawn!

And I don't suppose he is above adding giant floodlights, though it seems like a huge security risk.

The MAGAts are celebrating his in-your-face insult to the country formerly known as the USA.

I read an article that said his helicopter might not be able to land in a safe location because of the flag poles!

is a resistence by the workers. It really looks crooked.

And yeah, they said that he has now interfered with the helicopter landing on the lawn there. I like that. Let's make him walk farther just for his heart...well, you know. If I were President, I'd have a helipad right next to my back door, wherever that is. None of this "Trump Flag" nonsense.

We'll remove these flag poles when he's gone. I think he paved over the Rose Garden because HE was in danger of falling, not ladies in high heels. Meantime, the crooked flag pole provides a lot of entertainment. I'd like to see an interview with Stormy Daniels with that flagpole in the background.

It has one on the roof, which is always used, and in every photo. The White House always flies the American flag. Job done.

trump is actively converting the residence into a place with all the charm of a dirty highway rest stop. Utterly shameful, like everything else he's involved with.
