I think that he has more urgent things to think about.
ETA: and he really should stop tweeting. He is embarrassing himself and a large part of the country.

I think that was settled by the Supreme Court.

A lot of nonsense comes out of his mouth. It should make the news when he says something sensible instead of the other way round like we have now. Even Scalia said flag burning was free speech. Next we'll have Darth Cheetoh telling us Scalia was a secret liberal.
Every day the lunacy increases exponentially with that clown.

Pretty sure the Supreme Court has already ruled that to be protected free speech. And I am pretty sure that revocation of citizenship for a natural born citizen isn't actually a thing.

I think he does not know what it means to be an American. I don't think he has ever read the constitution. I think we are in big trouble.

I particularly liked the part where he tweeted that flag burners should lose their American citizenship...so where is he going to send those ex-Americans to?
Perhaps they could be sentenced to a year of hard labour on the chain gang building the wall fence?

THIS is what he chooses to tweet about. Wonder what he is trying to deflect from this time?

And then his press secretary for the transition team (I think that is his title) was defending it on CNN this morning saying, "yes, flag burning should be illegal" even after the host said that it was found to be protected by the constitution. All I could think was that I can't take any Trump surrogate seriously if they can never say anything that even remotely seems to be a slight to Trump for fear of their jobs. It is so ridiculous.

All others will be pronounced "shameful!" Lock them up!! The idiocy in our country right now is beyond belief. SaveSave

I can't. I just can't.
The man is insane. I'm really questioning the sanity of those who are steadfastly standing by him. How can they see/hear/read what he's throwing out into the universe and not think this is the raving of a madman?
I wouldn't ever burn a flag myself, but it's been decided. It's free speech.

I just looked it up, and indeed it isn't possible for a natural born American citizen to have their citizenship taken away. A naturalized citizen can have it taken away under a few circumstances (which I didn't read about). So since the Supreme Court has already weighed in on this the next time we're with anyone who wants to burn the flag we need to be sure they were born here before they start.

This is the question of the decade. It's blind hypocrisy, because if even any ONE of these things came from the mouth of President Obama they would be ranting all over the internet about it. I just don't understand.

I agree with a lot of things on this thread
1) He needs to stop tweeting 2) He has bigger fish to fry than this 3) This decision was made by the Supreme Court already, in 1969. Burning a flag is legal under our first amendment rights.
It just goes to show you how much he knows about the laws of our country.

I find flag burning incredibly disrespectful but you can't jail people just for being assholes.
If we lose free speech what is next?
People find it laughable. Honestly I find it scary. Where are the people who voted for him who should be speaking out against this? They were so worried about Obama taking their guns yet so many of them seem ok with limiting free speech.

I think holding unconstitutional beliefs should make you ineligible to run the country. That's what this pea thinks.

My question for Trump supporters is, is this really what you wanted? Are you happy with your choice so far?

My question for Trump supporters is, is this really what you wanted? Are you happy with your choice so far? I don't know that there is a straight answer that would be given. Each time I've asked, I get "But Hillary emails, Benghazi, etc." It's all deferral. For my father, I know he is afraid someone was going to take his guns away. (He keeps a loaded shotgun by the front door and when my kids were little, he took exception to me asking that he lock it up, so I took my family to a hotel.) He's also under the impression that Republicans have treated veterans better than Democrats, though both parties have miserable records on that score. And, he is rust belt born & bred, so he believes that Trump is going to bring back jobs. All that apparently means Trump can say and do whatever he wants because dad can keep his guns, the VA will magically become amazing and he'll get a prime job by the end of February.

The man is so obviously mentally ill. He showed signs of it years ago. His supporters will not acknowledge that he has issues upstairs.
His incessant rants and tweets for 12 sold hours on Sunday should prove he is not in his right mind.

I think he continually spews these ridiculous things because he thinks it's what they want to hear. I also think he has diarrhea of the mouth and one day it is really going to backfire on him. I'm ![:popcorn:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/nBdRgm4sox5yqX4b7lc0.gif) because this is just the beginning.

Like I said a couple of days ago..
When the shit hits the fan (and believe me, it will), I don't want to hear one iota of bitching from the people who put this sociopathic lunatic in office.

Each time I've asked, I get "But Hillary emails, Benghazi, etc." It's all deferral. That is what I am seeing as well. I had shared his tweet on Facebook and said people should be concerned, and a cousin replied that he was giving them a choice. I replied that he is acting like he is above the law. To which she replied, but Hillary. Ugh. Is it not possible for them to respond without going back to Hillary? She is not the president elect, Trump is. I have seriously lost respect for people I previously looked up to for voting for this dangerous man.
