MSM Thinks It’s ‘Bizarre’ That Trump Hugged An American Flag

I don’t understand how or why anyone would find this “bizarre” or unsettling. Like at all.

President Trump gave a speech at a business luncheon yesterday (we covered the bulk of it here), but instead of focusing on the content of what he said, MSM is obsessing over what he did after the speech.

He hugged the American flag.

It’s a side show act.

I voted for someone who actually loves America.

If he keeps that up he will owe that flag $130,000.00.

That makes me sick, if it had a duck on it he’d hug it. It’s all for show🤮

This isn’t the first time Trump has hugged the American flag. Remember this?

I don’t understand the outrage. I think it’s precious. Sure, it’s hokey, but Trump loves America. I never question that. During the Obama years, I constantly had to wonder if POTUS truly hated America. He was always trying to knock us down. He was always trying to tell us that America wasn’t exceptional. But now? Now Trump’s up there, putting America first and hugging flags.

I don’t care what anyone says. I love it.
