Trump hugs US flag after speech Tuesday 6/19/18

President Donald Trump paused to give the American flag a hug after giving a speech to business owners on Tuesday 6/19/2018.

The president, clapping as he walked off the stage at the National Federation of Independent Business to the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” opened his arms wide as he came to the flag and then hugged it.

It’s not the first time Trump has taken the flag in his arms.

He did it during a Tampa rally in October 2016 and in New Hampshire in August 2015.

Telling. That was a truly pathetic gesture from the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, an infantile, automatic gesture reeking of guilt.

Anyone who thought he was too stupid to be fascist didn't realize the fact that the entire party would goose-step and say, "Heil, Trump!"
