Fake news. They pulled the flag down due to high winds at the time Marine One was landing.
They were putting it into a special container. You can see the dudes in the background.

There are always “reasons”.
But the photo is still a good image
Trump’s presidency runs on the construction of memes, impressions, images and propaganda.
Just think of the image he wants to put on the back of a coin.
Biden’s autopen
Hunter’s laptop
Biden walking across the grass to speak to someone.
Well……… the image of a dejected Trump, slump shouldered in the encroaching darkness with the flag on the ground- sums up a multitude of themes that come together in a single photograph.

Thanks for acknowledging that the beleaguered half orange face is real. The photo isn't about the flag -it's about Trump. Most of the photos passing around don't include the flag and focus on Trump.

High winds? Umm, not a hair on Trumpedo's head is moving. Literally, not a single hair. And it's pretty clear that the flag is touching the ground.
MAGAts believe anything but their own eyes.

Decades ago, we had a phrase to describe that sort of hair.
We called it “Dallas hair”.
What is Dallas hair?
It’s hair so lacquered with hair spray that not a single strand moves in a hurricane.
Of course that was when I lived in Oklahoma. People in Texas might have called it “Tulsa hair”
In any event, the wind may well have been blowing 40 mph when that photo was taken.

Marco: "Yup, spread 20 or 30 or 100,000 pages of slander through Congress which is immune from a defamation suit under the Speech and Debate Clause."

It's fun to see that there are still useful (well, maybe not useful) idiots who believe Donald when he tells them not to turn around, he's just taking their temperature, and this particular method gives him a more accurate reading.

That would be a weird take, I agree. I was thinking more of it being an apt image of where we are as the former beacon of democracy in the world.

pic at the link.
On Saturday, he delivered another iconic image, but not the sort he wanted to produce. Returning to the White House after a flop of a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trump stepped off Marine One with his collar unbuttoned, his signature red tie undone and hanging loosely around his neck, and his MAGA hat crumpled in his hand. He waved listlessly to the cameras and gave a perfunctory thumbs-up.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/...Steve

No.
Marsha Blackburn: Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
Ketanji Brown Jackson: Can I provide a definition? No.
Blackburn: Yeah.
Jackson: I can't.
Blackburn: You can't?
Jackson: Not in this context. I'm not a biologist.

Lambo, thank you for providing the exact ketanji quote which verifies that ketanji testified under oath cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman because she cannot define what a woman is because she is not a biologist. The quote you provided is actually more illustrative if her ignorance. Taking her testimony literally, she can't differentiate between a woman and a love doll either.
