– Former President Donald Trump faced some backlash after a viral video showed him signing the American flag and seemingly violating the U.S. flag code.
– According to [section 8 of the U.S Flag Code](https://us-flag.net/code/), **“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.”**
The clip shared by the social media page Patriot Takes showed the former president writing what appears to be his signature with a black marker on the fabric.
Several MAGA supporters could also be seen holding the flag down as he wrote on one of the white stripes during his visit to a Pennsylvanian fire department on Wednesday, September 11.
The clip garnered over a million views and was shared thousands of times on X, formerly known as Twitter, where critics ridiculed the ex-prez for defacing the stars and stripes.
One X user wrote, “This is absolutely disgraceful. He’s desecrating the American flag, and his sycophants are just standing around smiling as he does it.”
Another user commented, “Everyone involved in this is anti-American and should be fined for desecrating the flag with Trump’s ugly a— signature.”
According to section 8 of the U.S Flag Code, “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.”
Trump is familiar with the code, having previously referenced it in 2017 when he would speak out against the burning of the American flag.
At the time, he said, “In 1942, Congress passed the United States Flag Code, creating official standards for how we treat our beloved flag. From this code, we teach each new American generation to always show our flag the respect it deserves.”
There are no penalties or violations for breaking the U.S. Flag code.

Not sure if this is real, but for Trump it’s always been:
Me the People…
He could urinate on the flag and his supporters would clean it up.
Stunning that he didn’t also piss on it and wipe his ass.
Honestly, he could slice a baby in half with a guillotine and nobody would give a shit. Why do we allow this fucking moron the time of day?
Donald Trump did say anyone who desecrates a flag should spend a year in prison…. So this one time let’s give him what he wants!
His cult wear them as bikinis, hats, and swimsuits……but burning them or kneeling is disrespectful
They destroy the flag in the back of their F250 going 85 mph all the damn time. They don’t care about the flag code. They care about looking like a patriot.
I also blame the morones that had the audacity to ask for that. Who are these idiots? Shame on them 😡
Mowon
He was president …how could he not know this?
Systematically attacking everything we have created, built, and cherished as a people, and trying to destroy it .
HE.DOES.NOT.CARE… all he cares is that to him, the flag looks better with his signature. I would not even believe he cares what the flag represents either…
The same hypocrites complaining about him signing a flag are the ones in the second breath have no problem with people burning the flag all hypocrites
That’s fine. Flag worship is stupid virtue signaling. Hopefully this helps erode the stupid gd pledge of allegiance.
The implosion is finally here. Revel, brothers and sisters. It only gets worsebetter from here….and if we stay the course and inspire others to VOTE…
We will prevail.
VOTE.

#VOTE!!
He doesn’t care about the law unless it personally affects him
They drive around with flags with his picture on them. They don’t care at all about the flag.
nobody gives a fuck about the fLaG CoDe, not even the us government. there are no penalties for it. it is not a gotcha. he could set that piece of cloth on fire and it would only matter to dumb people. there’s actually a lot of very real horrible shit trump has done/does and this doesn’t even break the top 100
What a goddam weird thing to do
Why the surprise? He doesn’t have to obey any laws. John Q. Public would have been in jail by now for all the shit he’s pulled.
LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!!
LMAO boy yall be sniffing hard.
“They’ve been disgracing the U.S. flag for years with their stupid skull traitor flag, their stupid blue flag implying only cops matter, and by putting their leader’s name on OUR flag.”
Are you sure he wasn’t doing a public service and just pointing out where the next hurricane is going?
He’s such a dumb ass.
Yeah but it’s okay cuz he’s Donald Trump. He has set the bar so fucking low you would need a backhoe to get near it.
