President Trump's New One Flag Policy Draws Mixed Reactions Across the Nation

Reports tonight reveal President Donald Trump's new one-flag policy, which mandates that only the American flag, along with two military flags, be flown at U.S. government and embassy buildings globally. The policy prohibits the display of other flags, such as the LGBT pride and Black Lives Matter flags. The move has generated significant debate, with varying opinions from local residents.

Our Brett Rosen spoke to one local expressed concern that the policy serves to silence marginalized groups and diminish their presence. "It feels like President Trump is finding ways to quiet outside voices," said one resident, who felt the move was an attack on the rights of these communities. However, some locals refused to comment on camera, citing the current political climate.

On the other side, others see the policy as a way to reaffirm patriotism and strengthen national identity. "We want the American flag to be front and center on government properties," one local stated. "These are federal offices, and we want to emphasize what America stands for."

Despite differing views, many are concerned about the broader implications of this directive. One individual voiced worry that this policy could be the first in a series of moves aimed at dividing the country further. "There have been so many divisive policies already, and this could be the start of more," they said.

The one-flag policy, meant to unify the nation under one symbol, appears to be having a polarizing effect. As the debate continues, many are left questioning its long-term impact on the country’s political and social landscape.
