I think he does get it. He just knows his base loves this
Flag worship is disgusting and another form of blasphemy that goes over this head. It’s nothing more than idolatry. Also something else he’s used as a political prop by hugging it simply for the reaction.
Respect the American experiment and honor those who have preserved it by not denigrating those who peacefully protest by silently kneeling.
Absolutely. For not being a politician, if we can still hold onto that fantasy, he sure knows what politically fires up his supporters. Extremely emotional group of people.
Here's a good example Trump is showing us of "should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart."
At least Melania is doing it correctly... the one who wasn't even born here.
It’s amazing bc I’ve seen this but completely forgot about it because he does something new that’s disgraceful every day. If any other president were to have done this it would be the end of their political career, but his base just looks the other way and then wonders why the media casts him in such a negative light.
I still remember this scream that ended Howard Dean's chances(he wouldn't have won anyway, but he was ridiculed relentlessly for this)
I don’t consider myself part of the “trump base”, but I will vote for him again because the Dems policy talk is the worst possible for the future of the US and you’d have to be retarded to vote Biden solely based on where they’re headed or say they are policy wise.
Trump deserves plenty of negative press because he’s really dumb in how he handles talking and tweeting, I can deal with that negativity, it’s the outright lying and making shit up that bothers me with the media.
If Trump wasn’t an egomaniac, didn’t tweet, and didn’t act like a child when someone in the media disagrees with him or is 100% in favor of him, he’d win the vote 70/30, but now it’ll be hard to win. He’s really ****ed things up for re-election
That's pretty spot on. I can understand voting for a guy based on if you like his policy. Everyone talks about how the media is so mean to Trump, but that's because we've never had(from what I can remember anyway, I'm not the oldest guy here)a President that was so combative. He brings 99% of it on himself.
He'd easily win reelection if he just kept his mouth shut. Every President gets criticized, but he's the only one who fights back... Some may appreciate that I guess, but it's not a good look.
Not sure just his base - my guess is you love the American Flag and stand for the National Anthem....am I wrong?
There’s a difference in standing for the anthem and fetishizing the flag.
WTH are you talking about...
fet·ish·ize
/ˈfedəˌSHīz/
verb
gerund or present participle: fetishizing
- make (something) the object of a sexual fetish.
"women's bodies are so intensely fetishized"
Whats Trump saying 'We should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag - NO KNEELING" have to do with anything discussed. Sounds like Biden has placed his fingers in places without permission that is prolly considered a fetish - how did we get in this discussion?Grabbing things and people without permission is his fetish.
Because you don’t understand how words work.
As Pocket said, you don’t understand that words can have more than 1 meaning. I’ll help you out since I'm not sure you can use a dictionary correctly.
Yea - You seem like you think your really smart...please explain what fetishizing has to do with standing for the American Flag?
Go look up other definitions to the word and then try to think it through. I’ve tried to explain a lot of different things to you through the course of this thread and you never get it. If you can’t connect the dots, I’m not doing it for you.
So you think Trump has a Sexual Fetish Obsession with the American Flag.
He thinks you and I should stand tall and respect the National Anthem and American Flag...
Do you respect the Flag and what is stands for?

Framers of the constitution were terrified of democracy. Perfect example as to why.
Do you stand and take your cap for the National Anthem and Flag - or do consider it as "an inanimate object worshiped" and stay seated with your cap on or Kneel? simple yes or no

I stand, but I'm not a minority race that feels they are being oppressed by their country so that question is irrelevant.
Why do we praise the military for fighting to protect our rights, but then criticize those who act on those rights?
I believe he said “yes or no.” Don’t get too far ahead. You’re going to confuse him.
Confusing do you think the National Anthem & American Flag is 'an inanimate object worshiped' or no? Easy question....
You asked "do you stand for the flag OR do you consider it an inanimate object" and I said I stand for the flag. My answer is pretty clear.
Had to do a double take to make sure this was actually satire.

Let me flip it around on you HoggyBones... do you get upset when you see trashy people at the lake wearing American Flag swimsuits?
Can't really think it's this great symbol of our country but then be okay with trash sitting in tubes drinking bud light wearing an American flag thong.
simple yes or no please.
Can't really think it's this great symbol of our country but then be okay with trash sitting in tubes drinking bud light wearing an American flag thong.

Or how about trashy people flying flags on the back of their trucks? Lot of wind damage. Against the flag code as well.
