This isn't some idiotic campaign or RNC account. It's the official White House account. How far toward the Third World we've sunk. https://t.co/8ynyxvxlw5

Remember when @WhiteHouse wasn't a parody account? 🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/qhDQEtiIzi

I prefer American Presidents who don't hug adversarial foreign powers and accept campaign assistance from foreign countries.#FlagDay https://t.co/7korDM6Em6

Is that what you’re supposed to do to the flag?

— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) June 14, 2019

An administration entirely without dignity. https://t.co/gquvvn1gla

That photo doesn't come across the way you think it does, White House intern

We, too, celebrated #FlagDay with a ceremonial flag hugging here at the Trump Presidential Twitter Library in D.C.! #DailyShowLibrary pic.twitter.com/VozSak8tGy

"If fascism comes it will not be identified with any 'shirt' movement, nor with an 'insignia,' but it will probably be wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution." — James Waterman Wise https://t.co/D52T2Nb1vZ

This is the worst timeline.

That flag just used the hashtag #MeToo

You know that trope in a movie where the character wakes up from a nightmare but they’re actually still in the nightmare? That’s just our lives now, every single day. https://t.co/AusSpGXaXS

From the official US Flag Code:

"The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way....The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. " https://t.co/t4XsNBjIfR

I know it's asking a LOT from you folks in the @WhiteHouse, but please take down this picture. Dry humping the American flag is neither patriotic nor respectful to the flag.

And when you’re a star, the Flag let’s you do it.

The flag didn’t consent to this. https://t.co/17WqsWFyvs

Wait, what? This is not a satire account?

— jes (@jwolfe73) June 14, 2019

The president thinks patriotism means hugging the flag. It doesn't.

Patriotism means fighting for what the flag stands for. #FlagDay https://t.co/GXn4Sg8WEX

This is real real weird.

This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen, and I once saw a teacher bend over and split his plaid polyester slacks in front of a room full of 7th graders. https://t.co/DXc9KjxX3R

Michael Cohen just wrote that flag a check for $130K.
