Former President Donald Trump has called for a one-year jail sentence for anyone who desecrates the American flag, following anti-Israel protests in Washington, D.C., that included flag burning. Trump's comments, made during an appearance on Fox & Friends, come despite the Supreme Court's 1989 ruling in Texas v. Johnson, which protects flag burning under the First Amendment. Trump dismissed constitutional objections as 'stupid' and insisted that Congress should enact legislation to penalize flag desecration. The protests occurred in reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, with demonstrators chanting pro-Palestinian slogans and replacing American flags with Palestinian ones. Some Republicans have also proposed legislation to deport foreigners involved in vandalism at federal properties.
