Trump’s Flag Code Hypocrisy: White House Denies Ground Contact After Harsh Flag-Burning Stance
President Donald Trump was photographed near a White House flag that appeared to be touching the ground, sparking criticism. This raised questions about a potential violation of the U.S. Flag Code, which prohibits the flag from touching the ground. However, the White House denied the flag was touching the ground, citing high winds and the necessity to lower the flag into a container for the Marine One landing as the reason for the photo. This controversy occurred months after Trump installed new flagpoles and issued an executive order aimed at those who “desecrated” the flag.
