    So Trump says we no longer have the freedom of speech in the USA. All
    because he doesn't like people who show their displeasure with the US government by burning flags.

    "President Donald Trump on Oct. 8 said his administration "took the
    freedom of speech away" as it relates to flag burnings, an activity
    that the Supreme Court has ruled is protected under the First
    Amendment."



    Trump believes so many things that have little to no basis in facts.
    In this case he says that burning a flag incites tremendous violence.
    I would ask for evidence but we know it will only be someone that told
    Trump that this happens or something else that can't be fact checked.
    Anyone that is likely to cause violence over flag burning was already
    likely to turn to violence.
