Trump plans to issue an executive order to combat the act of burning the American flag.
On August 21, Jin10 reported that U.S. President Trump plans to issue an executive order aimed at cracking down on the act of burning the American flag while circumventing a 1989 Supreme Court ruling that deemed flag burning as protected free speech. Two anonymous government officials stated that the executive order is set to be signed on Thursday. Under this order, the Department of Justice will review cases involving the burning of the American flag to determine whether charges can be brought based on offenses unrelated to the act of burning the flag itself, such as "disorderly conduct" or "public disturbance."
