As the conversation turned to freedom of expression, Letterman brought up flag burning. “Here’s the example that I’m always proud of as an American,” the host told Trump. “People, to demonstrate, they think, we’re really gonna stick it the United States. ‘We’re going to set fire to the flag.’ ”

“Yeah, right,” Trump said.

“And people get — ‘Oh my God!’ ” Letterman said. “Well, no. If that’s how you feel, go ahead and burn the flag. Because this country is far greater than that symbol, and that symbol is standing for freedom of expression.”

“Sure. You’re 100 percent right,” Trump said, noting that Letterman seemed worked up about the issue.

“I understand where you’re coming from. It’s terrific.”

Played them Huh? Well Hopefully he will drop this childish BS when he's in office. I really want him to be presidential and win favor by doing his job well instead of by trolling on twitter.

It's funny how you can read a thread title and automatically know it deserves a downvote. It's refreshing to then click and see all of them.

And Obama was against gay marriage before he took office.

What's your point?

Did obama jump on twitter and advocate for a jail sentence for being against gay marriage "for the lulz" after he changed his tune?

Is there where we just volley questions back and forth because you didn't like the initial question?

So you think it's a good idea to imprison people who burn a piece of cloth?

And you wonder why people call y'all fascists.

Nope. I fully realize politicians are historically hypocrites Trump included. I just hope he doesn't keep doing this childish twitter BS once he's in office. I have higher expectation for the leadership of this nation.

I don't think that's a good idea at all. Better to ask someone about their stance than assume it.

And I prefer not to freak out over a tweet, and you wonder why people call y'all snowflakes.
