I was expecting this to be simply swapping the red and white stripes, which wouldn't be forgivable, but no, Trump keeps on surprising me.

Don't worry, this will all be covered in the impeachment hearings.

He is reaching out to Democrats already as he sees the blue wave coming.

If anyone has ever colored with kids before, they would know that kids are pretty insistent that certain colors are to be used for certain things, whether the colors are correct or not.

Not only that, but I have staged photos in my classroom before with kids pretending to color their pictures. Typically they just pick up a random crayon or marker, whether it is the correct one or not, and pose for the picture.

That said, I think that too much is being made of a staged photo of him coloring. They wouldn’t be nitpicking if he was coloring the sky purple. It just happens to be the flag that is the wrong color.

For some other EX President people would have marveled at how adeptly he was correcting Betsy Ross' mistake.

He really messed up that photo-op with those children. As I said in another thread about this story, he couldn't even remember the words to God Bless America and his wife had to nudge him to remind him to put his hand over his heart while the national anthem was being played at the White House.

So brushing aside the way the opioid crisis affects infants, some media have chosen a petty attack on the president. Classy!

Given the other things he's done, this seems a bit nit-picky. Granted, he should know what the American flag looks like, but in context of other things he's done, this is way down on the list of problems.
