Donald Trump's administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.
The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a "Happy Flag Day!"
"Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great," the department stated Saturday.
The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.
Nothing will beat Trump's personal Seal of the President of the United States.

The bars on the sides of the star in the middle.
Unless the military has been controlled by the Russians for well over a hundred years, this is a standard military badge.
There is no gaff here, just a bunch of people who dont know what symbols the military uses.

Even so, it is still pretty funny
It's not a gaff though.
This color combo and layout has been used by the us military for badges and medals for a very long time.

Trump dodged the draft
Trump bankrupted a casino
Trump faked his assassination attempt with wwe tricks.
Trump shits on himself every day.
Trump cheats on his wife.
Trump has small stubby sausage fingers.
Trump has a small stubby mushroom penis.
Trump has never been in a fight in his life.
Trump has never won a game of chess in his life.
Trump has never achieved anything without cheating.
Trump created concentration camps and created a secret police force to disappear people he finds undesirable.
Trump is a Nazi.
If you support him in any way, you are a Nazi.
INCORRECT!! WRONG!
I'll have you know that he cheated on all his wives, not just wife.
And he bankrupted many casinos, (plus a holding company for a casino), not just a casino.Also he's a rapist. And a racist. And a convicted criminal.

Tweet in question.
I think there are more serious things to write about the trump administration than a graphic design gaff
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The question I'm constantly asking myself, is this incompetence or Russian influence?
The answer I usually come up with is "probably both".
I see the design choice since the background is blue. But the answer is you change the background or separate the flag colors from it. You don't go transparent because the background is the color you want. It's a separate thing and it's always red-white-blue. This is like wearing a green tie if you're a weather person, except they're usually competent and do it on purpose.

I heard they were playing "Fortunate Son" during the parade. If that's true, it HAS to be intentional irony by the DJ. There's no way anyone could be THAT clueless... right?
The song is about how the singer was drafted to serve in Vietnam; he didn't have the connections to get out of it. "I ain't no millionaire's son."
A lot of conservatives play rock music thinking they're the good ones and not the very people the punk rock people are against

You'll find that the usual color layout is red/white/blue, not white/blue/red.

Not always, several blue/white/red badges were issued for special forces during ww2

It's quite rare to not have red touch white

I'd throw the "porque no los dos" meme up here, but it was deported last week.

It's incredibly uncommon, but yes it has been done before. I think it's unlikely they were referencing these incredibly uncommon medals.

I had to click to the link to see what the issue was. The bald eagle coloration makes you not notice the bird's design!

That's clearly not intentional, but it is funny.

Like I said - In LA, people flying Mexican flags aren't fighting for American Democracy.
And in the Whitehouse, clearly they're flying Russian flags and not fighting for (but actively dismantling) American Democracy there.
I hate being politically consistent. There's no cognitive dissonance, but you still get...this.
They're fighting for Californian Democracy. Are you familiar with triage?

Lmao, I'm detecting a pattern here. I'm tagging this guy "flag confused"
I have them as "not evil but not bright"
