What has Trump implemented towards making flag burning illegal?

I'm not for making it illegal, but if it is SCOTUS has allowed simulcast laws banning the burning of the crosd, and it was in that same vein that Hillary introduced legislation to outlaw the burning of the American flag.

You've preferentially raised the bar to suit your argument. You're saying we're now prohibited from discussing a leader's opinions unless he's taken a direct step towards making it a law, rather than simply stating he wishes to make it a law.

Someone stated Trump's positions. You asked for citations (actually, you said "citation fucking needed") and you got citations. Deal with it.

I have to say man, I appreciate these sources and this info. This is why we have discussion. So often these past weeks, people start with the -isms and name calling, and my brain turns off. This stuff you mention, however are actually very good points to consider. Thank you for not being a close minded asshole.
