Trump for a long time forced the flag blessing to punish, and his latest post sharpens the law and order message as the government’s closure continues.

“President Trump will not allow the American flag, which is a special symbol of the size of our country, to be used as a tool to provoke violence and uprisings to provoke the violence and uprisings,” the White House spokesman Abigail Jackson said to Digital. “President Trump always maintains the first change, while at the same time, the provider, guilty to prevent chaos will implement challenging policies.”
