This could be the picture used to sum up Trumps second Presidency.

Now, just imagine if the photo showed Biden tiredly walking past a giant American flag crumpled on the White House lawn.

4 U.S. Code § 8 – Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
**(b)The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.**
(c)The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free, except as may be necessary in limited circumstances and done in a respectful manner as part of a military or patriotic observance.
(d)The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e)The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f)The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g)The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h)The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i)The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j)No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k)The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Since Trump shits on it and wipes his ass with our constitution, seeing it just touching the ground is a step up.

I’m sure all the insecure dudes with goatees driving their lifted coal rollers through town sporting massive American flags are up in arms about this photo.

The symbolism but also the actuality that the American flag, at the most preeminent American location for the flag probably on the planet, has fallen is severely telling and deeply unsettling to me.
oh my god that is fucking worse. I thoughtthe picture of the flag on the ground was just taken in the middle of the night. But no it was when the President was returning to the WhiteHouse ? It doesn’t matter where he is coming from, the White House should have every prepped and prepared perfectly. That is fucking sloppy.

There are people hanging around the flagpole; was this photo taken at the point it was being raised, lowered or changed? I have no idea about how much flag maintenance is required.

Even the flag is exhausted by him…
He has no clue.

He kind of looks defeated in that picture
America is just a mark to grift for him.
Even the flag is ashamed.
