Oh give him a break. He saw the red, white, and blue and assumed it was the US flag.

He has to be out of the white house, because it gets refurbished during the inauguration. So either he is in Mar-a-lago, or he is on air force one taking his final tour. So, the best place for him to be would be the inauguration. I wonder where he will take his last flight on air forc one, since he is a wanted man in New York.

First, President Trump decided not to confront Putin about supplying arms to the terrorist group. Second, during the very times in which U.S. military officials publicly raised concerns about the program’s threat to US forces, Trump undercut them. He embraced Putin, overtly and repeatedly, including at the historic summit in Helsinki. Third, behind the scenes, Trump directed the CIA to share intelligence information on counterterrorism with the Kremlin despite no discernible reward, former intelligence officials who served in the Trump administration told Just Security.
Most of these officials emphasized, as a caution, the significant qualitative difference between arming the Taliban and paying bounties to kill American service members—a massive escalation. Unlike bounties, the Russian-Taliban arms program could also be potentially explained, or plausibly denied, by Moscow as an effort to assist the Taliban’s fight against the common enemy of ISIS. That said, the arms also reportedly became increasingly sophisticated in what appears to provide the Taliban an edge against NATO and Afghan government forces.
The failure to push back on the weapons program signaled to Putin that he could press further, said Michael Carpenter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense with responsibility for Russia in the Obama administration. “When Western powers fail to push back, the Kremlin keeps prodding and probing — until it meets resistance, or until the costs for President Putin and his regime exceed the perceived benefits,” Carpenter wrote in Just Security on Friday.
What we now know is that President Trump not only failed to push back against Russia’s arming the terrorist group. That extraordinary act of omission was coupled with the president’s effort to push the CIA to cooperate with Russia by providing U.S. intelligence to the Kremlin on counterterrorism operations despite getting nothing in return, according to former officials.

He changed his official residence to Florida so there's no need for him to go to New York. I think he gets a discount at the hotel he built in the old Post Office building, so he could stay in DC.

Is Trump hugging the Stars and Stripes as he has done on a fair few occasions flag desecration?
Nixon: "Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."
LBJ: "The right of every American to be free from unlawful searches and forced self-incrimination must be upheld."
Trump: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"
Nixon: "Err, Donald, did you just take the Fifth?"

Really? You don't remember a prolonged period of hostility between the US as Soviet governments around that time? With the US actively seeking to undermine Soviet influence as a matter of policy?
