President Donald Trump has signed an executive order mandating prosecution for those caught burning the American flag as a form of intimidation. The White House described flag burning as 'uniquely offensive and provocative,' and the order aims to restore respect and sanctity to the national symbol. Recent incidents of flag burning have been linked to protests across the country, including anti-immigration demonstrations, pro-Palestinian rallies, and reactions to Supreme Court decisions. The executive order follows a series of high-profile flag desecrations and arrests, with Trump vowing consequences for offenders and emphasizing the flag's significance to American identity and freedom.
