Former President Donald Trump received wild applause when he proposed prison time for people who burn the American flag, falsely claiming such a penalty is not unconstitutional.
Trump said, 'We should give a one-year sentence in jail to anybody that burns the American flag,' prompting the crowd to cheer and chant 'U.S.A.!'.
He criticized Democrats, stating, 'They never talk about the American Dream, they don't talk about the American flag,' showcasing a perspective that disparages opposing views.
Despite Trump's claims, burning the American flag is constitutionally protected speech, reaffirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in rulings from 1989 and 1990.
