From US code on the flag

Sorry if it's been posted before,

4 USC § 10 - Modification of rules and customs by President

Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation.

This Republic "outrage" while not surprising again just strikes me as willful effort not to acknowledge this President's authority.

2. Or is this a pre-outrage alert to help everyone get pumped for the next Repubbie Hissy fit?

No one would be surprised to learn that the Repubbies have a high-paid team of consultants occultly at work on it now. It would certainly fit their pattern.
