Thats the beauty of trump.  He isn't dumb by any stretch.  Instead of you focusing on the things that matter, you are focused on the flag that's unlit or tattered.

There are a lot of other things you might want to focus on:
crime, poverty, mass shootings, global warming, that we are fighting multiple war's on credit, lack of health care for poor people, the drug epidemic, budget deficit,  taxes, failing infrastructure, russia hacking our election, on and on and on. 

trump doesn't want to you to focus on his failures, so he has you focused on the flag.  Smart man.  Sad!
