Amazing
First time for everything!
All along while folks were hand wringing over the fringe on the flags, I was like "Trump knows everything we know about the flag and the fringe, plus more, and loves the flag with all his heart; if he's OK with the silly-ass fringe, why am I gonna get my panties in a wad over it?" Never gave it a second thought after that.
We all know Trump loves massive amounts of gold embellishment on his stuff, and the more the merrier. Cf. gaudy gold sneakers; solid-gold apartment in the sky over Central Park featuring gold toilet seats; etc.
I've seen at least half a dozen theories explaining the TROO FAX about the gold fringe. IMHO the explanation that best fits the available facts is that the fringe is simply tacky, inappropriate decoration.
Unless I'm wrong and Trump has some excellent secret reason for leaving the fringe on the flags for all these years.
Take my updoot. I have seen Trumps 2021 - 2023 speeches/rallies with and without gold fringes.
DJ loves pointing out the fringes for his narrative but is silent when the fringes are there.
Derek's a smart guy but hard to follow because he starts six new sentences without ever ending the first one...or sentences 2 thru 5. :)
My guess is, being a patriot he is silent when the fringes are there so as not to appear to be questioning or challenging Trump on the US flag in any way.
It could totally be that the fringe does have some actual meaning that only people on the inside really know, like Trump, and if so, we may find out some day what it is...or maybe not. It could be something totally beyond the theories already advanced.
Note the states where fringes were on the flags and where they weren't -look to state laws that are also set in incorporation
Or just change the meaning, gold standard
