Tuesday Morning: American Flag and Louis Post-Dispatch

tuesday morning: What is this The 1980s Trump apparently woke up Tuesday morning and decided that weighing in on settled law would be a good idea, according to Hamilton Spectator. He reached for his smartphone and, before the sun was up, tweeted, Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag if they do, there must be consequences perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail! By sheer coincidence, Fox News was about to do a segment on a protest at Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass. Louis Post-Dispatch So now President-elect Donald Trump wants to strip citizenship rights from anyone burning an American flag and subject them to a year in jail. The college had forbidden the flying of all flags after someone burned one in protest of Trump presidential victory. Trump has an absolute gift for the inflammatory and distracting. So a stupid, but legal, decision by a small college in reaction to a stupid, but legal, decision by an individual prompted the president-elect of the United States to make a stupid, but legal, comment on social media.
