Burning American flags while waving Mexican flags. Can't get much better optics than that.
Ayden Cruz
Trop v. Dulles, 356 U.S. 86 (1958), was a federal case in the United States in which the Supreme Court ruled, 5–4, that it was unconstitutional for the government to revoke the citizenship of a U.S. citizen as a punishment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trop_v._Dulles
At least as applied in this case to a native-born citizen of the United States who did not voluntarily relinquish or abandon his citizenship or become involved in any way with a foreign nation, § 401(g) of the Nationality Act of 1940, as amended, which provides that a citizen "shall lose his nationality" by deserting the military or naval forces of the United States in time of war, provided he is convicted thereof by court martial and as a result of such conviction is dismissed or dishonorably discharged from the service, is unconstitutional.
Hudson Reyes
Hasn't it always been illegal to burn our flag? I remember learning this as a child in elementary school
Luis Torres
this is my point exactly
no one cares, I'm sorry, your constitutional arguments could be air tight, it doesn't matter
watching lefties burn american flags on TV is 100000 times more powerful persuasion
also >implying this was a serious policy proposal
Henry Gray
Or it could be Occam's razor and he is taking hold of that part of neocon party line to gain political capital in face of a neocon filled legislative branch

Logan Price
>trump posts something stupid on Twitter >media quickly does damage control and finds a way to lay the blame on someone else >OMG GUYS HES PLAYING 4D CHESS AGAIN SO SMART
when will you realize trump is an idiot with his luck stat maxed out?
Isaac Martin
Yeah they told me it can't touch the floor either. And I remember them teaching us songs like 'God Bless America' , 'I'm proud to be an American' etc.. fuck whats happened? This was in Los Angeles believe it or not
Jordan Reed
>Says flag burning should be banned >won't actually do anything about it >leftists flip out and start burning flags >pushes the left into doubling down on their awful behavior which caused them to lose in the first place >American leftists now clearly associated with hatred for US >Forces next Dem to disavow
Trump isn't going to actually do shit. OP is right. Trump is giving the left more rope to hang itself with because they are so easily manipulated.
Gavin Watson
>people shouldn't burn flags t. the bresident
wow what an idiot like omg CNN was OUTRAGED what an IDIOT
stop being such a cuck
Logan Powell
We're reaching levels of persuasion no one thought he was capable of
Chase Murphy
stop thinking about your butthurt for Trump "stupid" tweet
think about how liberals are going to react, how is that going to make you feel?
step one to understanding why you dumb faggot liberals lost so fucking badly is to think 1 step ahead, not what you do, but WHAT THAT MAKES YOUR ENEMY DO
Brody Stewart
Was listening to SiriusXM POTUS, they were so confused about his Tweet coming out of nowhere. No reason to tweet it. I'm just driving along chuckling, 5D chess. At the time I didn't even realize what end, but it is not my place to question your genius president. Always, the moves coincide.
Grayson King
It was up to states until 1989 when the Supreme court ruled laws against it were unconstitutional IIRC.
Austin Miller
There are no stats in real life.
You are a pathetic manchild.
Gabriel Jenkins
this isn't even 4D chess anymore
Ayden Collins
He can't do shit about it. It's freedom of speech. Besides, let the nuts burn the flag. That way you know they're nuts.
>TheFlag Protection Act of 2005was a proposed United Statesfederal lawintroduced in theUnited States Senateat the109th United States Congresson October 24, 2005, by SenatorBob Bennett(R-Utah) and co-sponsored by SenatorHillary Clinton(D-N.Y.).
It's 4D chess, I don't think it's coinsidence that he keeps "lucking out" like you're implying.
Joseph Parker
Does anyone know what the consensus is on this issue throughout the US? Has there been any polling?
Ayden Gomez
actually if your burning the flag you need to get the fuck out of america
Lincoln Wright
>HURR DUUR TRUMP IS RETARD
Trump's tweet are retarded, but you don't hear shit about my Black Lives and Muh Trans rights...
He is flipping all the discussions to the right. Lefty ideas are disappearing from the MSM.
Brody Martin
Wasn't it only recently in the 00's that it became legal to do?
Eli Jenkins
Goddammit, Belgium Stop making sense
Logan Martinez
>Burning American flags while waving Mexican flags When that shit in California was happening, protesting Trump's rally, the left lost a bunch of middle-grounders.
Nathaniel Russell
Fuck the Dulles family. Allen is probably in the top 10 worst public figures of US history.
Christian Fisher
i dont understand the point of 4d chess anymore, since he's fucking won. does he just want to start shit? does he want everyone who supported him to keep stroking his cock for being "right about everything?"
i dont get it
William Watson
My friend... He hasn't "won" until America is great again.
Leo Torres
there's also this. Quantum Chess master.
Camden Nguyen
What's it like being mentally ill?
Luke Long
>it's bad when hillary does it >it's good when trump does it >4d chess guys i swear
Nathaniel Stewart
Already making sure he wins 2nd term.
Liam Cruz
Here's a mindfuck for you. When it touches the floor, correct etiquette is to cut the stars away from the stripes and burn them both.
Oliver Evans
I remember this to bro, Arizona here. We've always been a patriotic state
See, you forget that he's not a politician by trade; he's a businessman. For most, the election would be the end; for the average politician, the majority of their job is to secure election.
For trump, the election was just the beginning; the goal isn't to win the election, it's to make America great again. To do that, he needs to continue beating down the opposition, to use his influence in social media to win people to his cause and male his detractors look foolish, over and over.
He may be a narcissist, but he's a PR genius, and he's using that knowledge for good.
Adam Gonzalez
It's not about whether it's good or bad (btw trump isn't proposing laws, just an opinion, unlike Hillary)
It's about making leftists flip and go muh constitution, muh free speech. Trump is Fascist and HITLER! and then throwing that in their face.
Hunter Carter
>Facts right in front of face >Clinton supported punishment for flag burning >Media crucifying Trump over same sentiment >Still can't see the hypocrisy of the left
That's just a microcosm of why you lost
Sebastian Evans
The fuck? Why?
Joshua Carter
That's the most childish thing I've ever heard.
This country is facing some serious issues. Maybe you should have elected someone who is going to take them seriously.
Colton Watson
>Trump spends 8 seconds typing out a tweet >Media spends 8 hours over analyzing it >Then proceed to say 'Trump should be doing his job'
My sides are always in orbit because of this man. Fucking 4D Chess indeed. He's playing the media like a goddamn fiddle.
Oliver Morris
What does the left being hypocrites have to do with the current president elect calling for unconstitutional laws.
Are you people really this childish?
Gavin Gutierrez
He's playing you like a goddamn fiddle, too.
Caleb Price
I'm okay with that. Citizenship is a privilege not a right.
Colton King
Lol, oh yeah? And how's that my fellow butthurt user?
MAGA bitch.
Joshua Cook
Refer to this He was baiting people into fighting him, only to reveal that Hillary ACTUALLY signed a bill to do the same thing they are fighting against.
Literally god-tier trolling.
>Enjoy being an oblivious cuck
Ayden Peterson
It's called changing the political climate.
Notice how bullshit BLM hasn't been relevant in the news - it's all Trump now.
Andrew Turner
nice ruling ya got there faggot, shucks, hope it don't get overturned yo
Henry Walker
Who is he trolling exactly?
Hillary wanted to pass a law ten years ago.
Trump wants to pass an even worse law now.
I'm honestly starting to question the sanity of this cult of personality. You people make obama's supporters almost look rational.
Angel Sanchez
Actually he's just giving them something to dominate the news cycle while he puts Goldman Sachs in charge of the treasury.
Josiah Gomez
>burn flag >its just free speech >deface money >THATS A FEDERAL OFFENSE CRIMINAL SCUM
Jacob Young
hey they made a meme about you
Alexander Gomez
WE'RE STARTING THE DISCUSSION.
Bentley Bennett
someone that used to work for a bank isn't the same thing as taking all of your money from banks in glorified bribes.
Samuel Campbell
Lol holy shit how are you not understanding m8, are you remedial? >pic is you
Ian Brooks
I do love your inability to answer simple questions or defend any of the actions of your dear leader.
Kayden Jenkins
>literally incapable of answering a simple question
It has to be mental illness. No one is this stupid.
Daniel Hill
>Thinking he's serious about the law
He's trolling the people who simultaneously supported Hillary and condemn him for proposing a law Hillary supported.
Try to keep up, but he is turning the left inside out by exposing their hypocrisy. People will see others burn the flag out of protest and be offended by their own side. Others will catch on to the hypocrisy of the left and abandon it.
Those who dont, like you, will be left behind.
>Enjoy being an oblivious cuck
Levi Long
>We can burn your flag, wave Mexican flags, and take down Confederate flags but it's you the has a problem with freedom of speech, goy.
t. media
Joshua Price
your butthurt is tangible
Dylan Jenkins
Everyone knows the left is full of hypocritical retards. Is this somehow news to you ignorant manchildren?
You people have serious mental issues.
Justin Russell
This guy gets it.
Oliver Hill
I just did dumbass. Political climate.
I love how your head is so far up your ass you can't even grasp the most basic of concepts. Stay sheltered.
Eli Collins
...
John Fisher
>This country is facing some serious issues. And how does the media doing whatever they can to paint the next president as Hitler help? The media's bullshit is the cause of many of the country's problems, they need to be exposed whenever possible. If all it takes is one tweet, then it's not getting in the way of any serious work.
Mason Harris
y so assmad, faggot?
Chase Harris
Just go back to plebbit.
Dominic Cox
I love how you support a man doubling down on a progressive democrat's policies.
Oh wait, no, it's kind of sad watching western civilization die to the howling cheers of retards.
Asher Murphy
In the words of a wise asian:
"No one can be this retarded without actually being a genius."
Julian Morris
Because I'm talking to someone with less than 60 IQ who doesn't even understand air.
Jacob Russell
I'm feeling like this is probably a Bannon play but it could also be my bias to see sophistication in Trump's moves where it may not exist.
In any case flag burning legislation is retarded and I guess some of Sup Forums will support anything as long as the left and the MSM seem to oppose it this week.
Adrian Hughes
lol u go boi
Xavier Martin
Good job leaf. Keep
Correcting Trump's Record
Justin Brown
stop tolkin 2 urself m8
Eli Ross
>implying I'm a party man
Lol, get fucked. Trump nation, you think I give a shit about career politicians?
Blake Cruz
Except that's the strategy that won the election... gonna save this and then modify it with his inauguration day. Just because you suck at making memes.
Aaron Rivera
If you think he's serious about the law, you are missing the entire point.
Matthew Bennett
they must be trolling faggot
Charles Sanchez
Any videos of the retards burning flags in response to Trump's tweet?
Daniel Price
...
Jonathan Robinson
Yeah. That user is more dense than a multicolored hair liberal.
Justin Ross
Here you go, cuck. I'll spell it out for you.
"The [Flag protection act of 2005] would have prohibited burning or otherwise destroying and damaging the US flag with the primary purpose of intimidation or inciting immediate violence or for the act of terrorism. It called for a punishment of no more than one year in prison and a fine of no more than $100,000; unless that flag was property of the United States Government, in which case the penalty would be a fine of not more than $250,000, not more than two years in prison, or both."
Thats from the wiki page. Trump *suggested* jailtime or citizenship removal. It's not a real policy proposal; citizenship removal is unconstitutional. But he knew libtards would take off and run with it. It's hypocritical to argue against this when Hillary proposed something similar. It's also hypocritical to say Trump is an idiot who tweets nonsense but you act like this tweet is a serious policy proposal.
Carson Barnes
Leftists lost because of Hillary, not because of that nonsense.
James Foster
you can burn the flag, but it's illegal to burn a dollar bill. What does that tell you
Gavin Walker
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK!
>to plebbit!
Ian Powell
such is the stringent line of tradition
Samuel Campbell
I'm going to enjoy eight years of Trump trolling libtards with Twitter.
He's going to codify the truism that you should never take anything you read on the internet seriously, and the analhurt will flow free.
Lucas Cruz
fuck yo plebbit. i swear on me mum
Xavier Moore
This user gets it.
Hudson Hernandez
>get out of my safe space!
You people really are the SJWs of the right.
It's beyond pathetic.
Grayson Thomas
Remember, using logic to confront leftist is a futile attempt.
Ethan Rodriguez
>fucking Fascism >4d chess is fascism >OP has never read Machiavelli
Jose Robinson
>people seriously think Trump shitposting on Twitter is going to be official policy
Cameron Bennett
Haha ur dumb af, he's highlighting the hypocrisy of the left crying about him wanting to jail ppl for burning the flag, when in reality Hillary actually sponsered making it illegal and nobody cries about that. Fug ur dumber than spurdo
Juan Rogers
you are correct good sir
Benjamin Adams
exactly, anybody who's really followed Trump knows that shit.
Christian Sanchez
Shit im also from LA. I remember reading the constitution in middle school. I haven't read anything in my current highshcool thats as important. Reading the constitution made me feel based AF to be American .
Kevin Adams

Logan Nelson
That flags are disposable textile products whereas currency is a fiat currency issued by the federal government?
I mean at the end of the day burning money can be legitimately harmful to the economy whereas burning a flag is pretty much just some dipshit making a political statement.
