In a move that’s already sparking fierce debate across the country, President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order requiring a mandatory one-year jail sentence for anyone convicted of burning the American flag during a protest.
Speaking from the White House, Trump declared:
“The people in this country don’t want to see our American flag burned and spit on. They’re bad people that are trying to destroy our nation.”
The order instantly ignited outrage from civil rights advocates who argue that flag burning has long been protected under the First Amendment as a form of free speech. Critics say the measure is unconstitutional and an authoritarian overreach, while Trump supporters are cheering the decision as a long-overdue show of respect for America’s most sacred symbol.
