racer254 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Because he truly loves the flag and loves America. On 3 October 2006, Trump had an outsized American flag (variously described as being either 15×25 feet or 20×30 feet) installed on an 80-foot-high flagpole at Mar-a-Lago, in violation of local zoning regulations that established a maximum size of 4×6 feet for flags and a maximum height of 42 feet for flagpoles. Trump put up his regulation-violating flag and pole without obtaining either a building permit permit or a variance from local authorities, and the Palm Beach town council accordingly fined him $1,250 (or, in some accounts, $250) for every day the flag remained in place (apparently citing him only for the pole but not the flag itself). Trump in turn filed a $25 million lawsuit against Palm Beach, claiming that the town was selectively enforcing its rules (by not fining other properties that were flying flags in violation of town ordinances) and infringing his constitutional right to free speech. Six months later the two sides finally reached an agreement during “secret, court-ordered negotiations,” with the town agreeing to waive all fines against Trump for his code-busting flagpole and to “review its ordinances and codes dealing with flagpoles and flags during the next zoning season,” and Trump agreeing to drop his lawsuit, lower the height of his flagpole from 80 to 70 feet, obtain a permit for the pole and move it farther inland, and donate $100,000 “to charities dealing with Iraq War Veterans, [the] American Flag, or the local VA hospital.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGNHL Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Trump is spending our kids futures away like a drunken sailor, enacted more firearm restrictions than Obama, and was a spoiled draft dodging New York liberal, but Racer is ready to go full MAGA over a Trump wanting a big flag on his property. Not saying Biden is any better, they are both utter trash. 3rd party vote again for me. Edited July 22, 2020 by GGNHL 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
