It's not just a NON-ISSUE. It's one of those false outrage NON-ISSUES.

President Wilson started the tradition in 1918 when he flew the French flag to honor Bastille Day. There is even a special flagpole on the South Lawn that's been there since Wilson's tenure that was erected just to fly foreign flags to honor visiting dignitaries and mark special occasions. Most recently, in March of this year, the Greek flag was flown. And during the previous administration, the Chinese flag was flown as well.

Of course it is. Just another day in the life of people who have nothing better to do but blow things out of proportion and pretend to be angry. In between shopping at Wally World I'm sure.

See with normal people, it would end after this post ^^. However this will not be the case and they will ignore what you wrote, and continue to staple tea bags to their heads and sing the national anthem out their windows whilst adding another 6 pages to this thread.
