Trump Says He Wants To Punish Flag Burning With A Year In Prison

“We have a different court and I think that it's time that we review that again. Because when I see flags being burned — they wanted to crawl up flag poles in Washington and try and burn flags but we stopped them," Trump reportedly told Governors on aAt his Tulsa rally, Trump went into further specifics, calling on the senators in attendance, Sens. Jim Inhofe and James Lankford , to propose legislation criminalizing flag burning, with jail time as a penalty.

"We ought to come up with legislation that if you burn the American flag, you go to jail for one year. One year,” TrumpKey Quote Trump cited an incident at a protest in Portland as the inspiration for his proposal. “Two days ago, leftist protesters in Portland, Oregon ripped down a statue of George Washington and wrapped in an American flag, and set the American flag on fire,” Trump said to raucous boos from the crowd. “Democrat, all Democrat. Everything I tell you is Democrat,” he added.Twitter users were quick to note the unconstitutionality of Trump’s proposal.

When did it stop becoming a crime to burn the flag? I thought I learned that in high school.

And unjust murders by law enforcement...how much time will that carry?

But he doesnt want to Punish Foreign Interference in the Democratic Election Process. 'I LOVE YOU WIKILEAKS', remember?

So much for the Supreme Court ruling allowing flag burning and supporting the 1st amendment. Freedom of speech is one of the liberties that makes the US great. We don’t have to agree with everyone but we should try to get along

Really I can't believe there are people so mentally obtuse that they care more about a piece of cloth than the lack of justice and equity in this country. Pathetic.

Uhhh I think this is settled law

He's a LOSER!

Hes done

I assume you mean this flag-

idiotinthewhitehouse

DYSFUNCTIONAL DON 🤡

Yeah anyone who burns the Antifa flag.

You’re going to need to clarify which flag: the confederate flag or the Russian flag?

Hey gimpy bunker boy, if we are lucky, You will be spending more than one year in prison. And apparently you have not learned, the Supreme Court continues to be the only branch not tainted by your crimes. Good luck getting that past the smell test.

MORE!!!

What about those that burn the cross? 🤔

AndrewSolender If it passed, would there not be a rightful skyrocketing of burning flags?

It is the proper way to dispose of a worn flag.

'Cause there's limits to our liberty Least I hope and pray that there are 'Cause those liberal freaks go too far

I'm not for burning the flag. They're nylon and polyester and shit. It's bad for everyone. However, what we need right now isn't more laws to take away our freedoms. C'mon.

P E R F E C T! 🇺🇸

So in a nutshell he said “fuck POC, I only care about the whites that support me”

He’s a lunatic

Oh, look. Something else he wants to do that's unconstitutional.

47.5 American receiving unemployment benefits, a pandemic and social unrest... What's missing? Leadership

What can I say Trump? D U M B!

It. Is. A. Peice. Of. Fabric.

And why only one year in prison and not an immediate execution? That dictator can get away with anything.

Amen to that. And statue destruction, looting of businesses should all be prosecuted to full extent of the LAW

Lol it’s just a piece of cloth

1st amendment

As long as it’s life for a cross burning.

But obviously really big crimes should be covered up with no repercussions.

But he’s fine with his supporters putting shit on the American flag....

What is the suggested sentence for flag humping?

realDonaldTrump is an idiot who knows nothing of our laws.

AndrewSolender Flag burning is the only proper way to dispose of a flag tho. It’s in the flag code..

That would be great!

I love it, I wish that rule was in place. Everyone in America should also love it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Damn you’d get more prison for burning some cloth made in China than a woman in America...

Biden is China bet , he will rwverae eveything that trump has done on huawie and tariif

What if you burn 5 flags? Is that five years? What about 20 flags? What if I burned 1,000 American flags? Is that life without parole?

What about who burns 100K lifes?

He also mentioned stomping it could result 1 year in priso.

Oh great! Let’s just burn Trump then!!!!! TulsaRally

Texas v. Johnson 1989. Unless he thinks he can get a Constitutional amendment passed he’s a bit late. Maybe Barr can explain it to him.

Dare you to burn another country’s flag in their home country either in front of law enforcement or military. Bet you’ll get a completely different response than in America.

Amen POTUS 🥰👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trump is the one that should be in prison after what he has done to this country and it's people!

Republican: don’t touch my freedom or my rights, but do anything I don’t like and it’s a year in jail.

Don Duterte at it again

how many years in prison does he want to serve for being a tax evading pedo

Stormy wore flag underwear. And said he certainly did not have the energy to burn that

ayotollah trump

I say just take away welfare.

The Supreme Court ruled that burning the flag is protected free speech. I'm not an advocate FOR flag burning, but it could be a dangerous slippery slope if we start throwing people in prison for actions or gestures that we deem offensive.

Which flag? The Korean Flag? The Chinese Flag? The Russian Flag? The Confederate Flag?

I have not seen this many empty seats since the Moody Blues had their third farewell concert.

HK mobs, listen!
