"Respect The Flag" for Trump Humpers (oldish article but suddenly relevant)



John Daly on President Donald Trump: 'He's doing a hell of a job'
http://www.golf.com/tours-news/2017/05/24/john-daly-donald-trump-hes-doing-hell-job

Daly and President Donald Trump became fast friends after they first played golf together in 1992. Speaking at a press conference at the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club, Daly was asked by USA Today to assess his buddy's presidential performance thus far, and Daly, as he does so often on the course, did not hold back.

"I love what he's doing for our country," he said. “I think people need to get on his wagon and ride with him and let him do what he's doing and leave him alone. It's not going to change for at least, you know, this year and three more.”

"So, it just seems like the Democrats always have a problem when a Republican gets in office. Republicans seem to kind of put up with the Democrats sometimes, we just go along with it. But I think they just need to leave him alone and let him do what he's doing. I think he's doing a hell of a job. I really do."


What's that you are wearing for pants, John? Is that the flag? Guess you are just showing how patriotic you are! No violation of the flag code there!

So the upshot of this is, if you are a white man and support the Rump, you can wear the flag as a way to show how patriotic you are. If you are black, well, let's face it, you're screwed ten ways from Sunday. This anthem/flag business is a way to assert dominance over a minority. There is no other excuse for this BS.

"He's doing a hell of a job at...what?"

"What has happened during that Trump administration that you feel is an improvement?"

Anyone can throw out that lame "He's making America great again!" Get people to explain HOW.

...or do they not want to embarrass their interview subject?

I seriously think that golf and his own business empire are all he is concerned with.

I agree -- if you're a white man -- or woman -- you can disrespect the U.S. Flag anyway you like and nobody (at least, nobody who is white) will say a word about it.



If you're a person of color who exercises his freedom of speech then it's Katy bar the door!
