“Burning the American flag, I want to get a law passed … you burn an American flag, you go to jail for one year. You gotta do it… We gotta do it. They say it’s not constitutional. They say, ‘Sir, that’s unconstitutional.’ We’ll make it constitutional.”
Why?
This literally solves ZERO problems. No one is injured by burning a piece of cloth.
But people die from malnutrition, guns, climate change and disease—things he promises to do nothing about.

@feloneouscat So the orange dumbshit wants to make it “constitutional” to burn the American flag? Well then, he can stop humping the flag every time he makes his introduction at his hate rallies. That’s unconstitutional to have to watch that bullshit! Very creepy and despicable man he is….as Yoda would say 🙄
No, he wants to make it illegal to burn the flag as a form of freedom of speech. Basically he wants to neuter the First Amendment for things he doesn’t like.
It's been a really long time since I've had a reason to read the Flag Code, but I'd swear I remember burning it (with respect/reverence/whatever) to be the proper method of destroying an old, tattered flag.
@feloneouscat
I liked his earlier comments about this, calling the people who say it's unconstitutional 'stupid people'.
