    Lefties with TDS are coming out to amuse us all over something that isn't the least bit controversial. These TDS comments are comical.

    From post #2 by you above:

    Performative politics. But as long as he's paying I give zero shits.

    I think "performative" is just an adjective modifying the noun "politics".

    "Performative politics. But as long as he's paying I give zero shits."

    So you don't want to answer a basic question about your claims? Interesting. I think we both know why (his companies aren't actually profitable and his wealth is from grifting after all of his attempts to run actual businesses failed in the 90s and 00s).

    Don't worry about the politics part. It was performative. He's got to put up the biggest flag poles because he loves America the most

    Why 2 giant flagpoles? Why any giant flagpoles at all? Pretty sure they already have a flag or two at the White House.

    Trump really leans into the "the bigger/more the better." philosophy. On the other hand, "less is more," is a completely foreign concept.

    I'm just surprised he didn't gild the poles with his signature gold.

    Not sure if it matters, but I was curious about the comparison, and my computer is telling me that the current flag stands about 90 to 95 feet off the ground.

    Those flag poles, gaudy as they are, will be gone in 2029.

    Honestly, why? Is the giant American flag on the top of the White House not enough? I honestly don’t understand the message three flags will convey that the one does not.

    Why? Because if you question why that means you hate the flag and probably America.

    It seems some confuse loving the country with loving the current occupant of the White House.

    You mean Joe Biden? What did Joe Biden do?

    Can you tell us? Or are you just saying things that aren't true because that's fun, or you heard someone else say the same untrue things?
