Trump's executive order states that insulting the American flag is extremely insulting and provocative. It is a symbol of contempt, hostility, and violence towards our nation. Burning the US flag can incite violence and riots.

President Donald Trump has taken a strict decision against those who burn the American flag. For this, he signed an executive order on Monday. It talks about taking strict action against those who burn the American flag. He instructed the Justice Department to investigate such cases and prosecute the culprits.

President Trump's order acknowledged the court's 5-4 decision in a 1989 Texas case but said there was still room for prosecution if flag burning caused widespread unrest in society. In that case, the justices ruled by a 5-4 majority that the First Amendment protects flag burning as legitimate political expression. The late Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative leader whom Trump has repeatedly praised, was in the majority.

Violence due to the burning of the American flag

Trump said on Monday that burning the American flag incites riots and causes great unrest in society. According to him, some people get so angry about burning the flag that they resort to violence. Trump said that when the flag is burnt, the entire area goes crazy, and hundreds of people become violent.

Burning the flag is extremely disrespectful

The executive order states that desecrating the American flag is extremely offensive and inflammatory. It is a symbol of contempt, hostility, and violence towards our nation. Burning this symbol of America can incite violence and riots. The order calls on the Attorney General to prioritize enforcement as much as possible of criminal and civil laws against flag burning, which causes harm unrelated to the First Amendment.

Will be jailed for one year

Trump said that the punishment for burning the flag would be one year in prison, and there would be no opportunity for early release. The order also states that foreign nationals who burn the flag may have their visas, residence permits, citizenship process, and other immigration benefits revoked. They can also be deported.

Trump said that the court ruling that burning is constitutionally protected is very sad. The President said, I think it was a 5-4 majority decision. They called it freedom of speech. But there is another reason, which is probably more important. It is called death. Trump said, Because when you burn the flag, the whole area goes crazy.
