I'd rather see that flag burned than hugged by Donald Trump.  And you're absolutely 100% wrong about flag burners---By and large they care a LOT more about the principles this country is founded on than you can imagine---If they didn't care, they wouldn't bother to burn it.  In fact, I wonder how many actual flag burners have marched to war under its banner; probably a large proportion.

That flag was probably made in China.  It's a symbol, and it's time we started focusing on the reality behind it.  Symbols get twisted around a lot, but the symbols of our government of the people are remarkable for being in a dead heat for so long.  A lot of people the world over really believe in the ideals our country was founded on, probably more so than most "patriots" waving their flags around, or desecrating them on their pick-ups.

All that aside, this is just the Donald yanking the strings, getting us all to dance to his tune, just like you said---It's all for show.
