Trump on flag: “I don’t know what the 13 stripes represent.”

Trump on flag: “I don’t know what the 13 stripes represent.”
Stephen Colbert highlighted a key “Difference Maker” last night on “The Colbert Report”: Donald Trump. Trump put up a 400 square foot flag atop a 70-foot pole on his golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. In the clip, Trump highlights his indifference to city codes (the town only allows objects up to 16 feet tall without a permit) and love for his chosen sport of golf (“I love to hit balls!”).

The real money, however, comes at the end of the segment, when Trump admits, “I don’t know what the 13 stripes represent.”

Why anyone would take this guy seriously for a presidential candidate is beyond belief.

I was born a Truman, but you can call me Pat. Wave

This guy had the balls to question our President's intelligence and academic background?

He doesn't know? You mean the same moron who sat in front of TV cameras during his Birther stint and told people "Hey, I'm a pretty smart guy...."?

There's a lot ol' Trump doesn't know..like where our current President was born.

What is it..White Stripes for Courage and Red for the Blood that was Shed so we could be free from assholes like Koch and Trump?

Not really.

The colors on the flag don't technically have any specific symbolic meaning. Many people will apply their own meanings. Some of these are complete fabrications that made it into poorly researched history and civics books. Others are borne of confusion with the Great Seal symbolism

The colors of the Great Seal are similar to the colors of the flag and do have meaning. The white stands for purity. The red stands for courage. The blue stands for justice.

His Rancho PV neighbors don't care much for him at all. I think he bought that land from my former employer.

In Rancho Palos Verdes and Palos Verdes Estates (which is the far more upper crusty of the two) you have to build a mock structure before you build to be sure you aren't blocking the view for a neighbor. It's my understanding that the flag blocks views, as well as makes a hell of a lot of noise.

The size of your flag doesn't matter... clearly he has no clue what it stands for anyway.

How do these idiots float to the top? Makes me furious!

They don't really. They start at or near the top, and their only real job in life is not sinking.

Somebody sodomize him with a flagpole, please?

Confirmed, Fox "news" makes you stupid

The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous
