Parody, NOT AN AD: Trump unveils new American flag (beehaw.org)

My last post on this topic was deleted; I don't know why, but it may have been due to a joke I inserted ordering all Americans to replace their old flags with new TRUMP flags. I included a reference to a fake Trump flag site which may have been mistaken for an advertisement.

Alas, humor is dead. Or at least easily bruised with thickening cankles.

Anyway, I whipped this up when I saw something recently about Trump having a new American flag that was basically black and white. That instantly felt wrong to me, so I made this. I did not use AI; I combined elements I found online in a graphics program.

I kinda like the way it came out. Anyone is free to use it, if they want to. The TM and copyright symbols are jokes.

A glorious flag of golden stripes, with gold stars on a gold field enhanced with a magnificent gold T over it. Over the stripes to the right is the image of the greatest President in history! Please recognize that this is SARCASM.

I have a hard time imagining him giving up his fixation with gold and his own name. Since he would be charging 10 or 100 times more than his cost, and it would be paid by his supporters and the taxpayers, I don't think he'd care about the price. They'd be made cheaply in China anyway.
