I agree, and the US President shouldn’t have these love affairs with murderous dictators either, he treats the bad guys much better than our true allies, who have always supported us. What has the psycho, Kim Jong Un done for us? Absolutely nothing because he wants all Americans dead!

Did not notice or care. Who sits around counting flags? Also impressed if one wears 2 flag pins, or wears a giant flag pin?

Flags are a dime a dozen--made in China. Used as props.

No he is not anywhere near a dictator. Like him or hate him is your choice and many would agree with you as far as whether they hate or love him, but dictator not at all!!!!! Statements like that do make me wonder how much some people really know about politics.

Would not surprise me either. That would indeed be a typical Trump Team tactic. Fear does drive that group to create all kinds of false flags, such as this rabble rousing!

If you personally know a dem lib like I do, the American flag on display triggers them. Just like the words "Make America Great Again" and "America First". They hate it.

Why should there ever be a row of flags? Answer: Empty symbolic patriotism sells better than actual patriotism.

Exactly! I show my patriotism by volunteering or donating to charities.

But NO American flags.

It seems as if the NK government has more respect for the United States than the Democratic party. Which sadly is pretty easy to believe.
So along with being easily impressed over contrived, superficial nonsense, now you equate the flying of a flag with "earned and deserved"respect.

Gee, who knew it was that easy to fool some gullible Americans. Ooopsy; apparently Lil Kimmy's got you figured out to a "tee".
