(DailyEmailNews.com) – President Donald Trump is restoring American pride and unity by banning divisive symbols from government buildings with his “One Flag Policy.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s order allows only the Stars and Stripes to fly at U.S. facilities, with limited exceptions.
This bold move reverses Joe Biden-era practices that allowed Pride and Black Lives Matter flags, signaling a return to traditional American values.
Effective immediately, the Trump administration’s new policy stipulates that only the American flag can be displayed at U.S. facilities both at home and abroad.
This decisive action is part of Trump’s broader agenda to remove “wokeness” from the government and emphasize national identity.
According to the policy memorandum, “The U.S. flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S. flag be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestically and abroad.”
The new directive overturns Biden’s 2021 order that permitted the flying of flags like the LGBTQ+ Pride flag and the Black Lives Matter flag at State Department buildings.
This reversal has been met with glee from conservative lawmakers and citizens who view it as necessary to reaffirm American values.
Biden’s baffling decision sparked widespread outrage among Republicans at the time.
Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas stated, “This is a disgrace, Not only is it in breach of US Flag Code, but it’s a glaring example of this White House’s incompetence and insistence on putting their social agenda ahead of patriotism.”
The policy is not without teeth. Government employees who violate this directive may face disciplinary actions, including termination or reassignment.
This sends a clear message that the administration is serious about enforcing respect for the American flag and the principles it embodies.
Trump’s commitment to an America-First foreign policy is evident in this move.
As stated by the White House, “On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.”
This aligns with Trump’s broader vision of reshaping American diplomatic and foreign policy to prioritize national interests.
“We’re going to stop the destructive and divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates across the government and private sector and return our country to the merit system,” Trump declared.
While critics argue that the policy undermines inclusivity, supporters see it as a necessary step to restore unity and respect for the American flag.
The “One Flag Policy” emphasizes that the Stars and Stripes represent all Americans regardless of their background or beliefs and serves as a powerful symbol of justice, liberty and patriotism.
