According to section 8 of the U.S Flag Code, “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture or drawing of any nature.”
Trump is familiar with the code, having previously referenced it in 2017 when he would speak out against the burning of the American flag.
At the time, he said, “In 1942, Congress passed the United States Flag Code, creating official standards for how we treat our beloved flag. From this code, we teach each new American generation to always show our flag the respect it deserves.”
There are no penalties or violations for breaking the U.S. Flag code.
