Trump: People Should Lose Their Citizenship If They Burn American Flag

Who knows why Donald Trump decided to stir this pot - clearly he's trying to divert from something he doesn't want the public to pay attention to.

No one should burn the American flag, BUT - the U.S. Constitution secures our right to do so.

There's that little thing called the 1st Amendment which protects freedom of expression. Plus, it is  literally unconstitutional to strip someone of their citizenship as punishment.

Seriously, this guy is going to be our president?
