Goddammit America, flags are not a Trump thing

When I stopped by my parent’s house this steamy Fourth of July, the front yard was lined with American flags. I asked whether the Boy Scouts put them up, as they sometimes do for a fundraiser.

No, said my aunt, visiting from out of town, “I got them for your dad, but he thought they were kind of a Trump thing.”

Interesting.

This is a sentiment I have heard before.
