But most importantly, it's outrageous that he suggested such harsh punishment for disrespecting the flag when he admitted in the past to not fully understanding it
In a segment for 'The Colbert Report' called 'Difference Makers,' Donald Trump admitted to not knowing what the 13 stripes represent
The clip featured a 2007 report in which officials in West Palm Beach, Florida, voted to fine Trump $1,250 a day for flying a non-regulation size flag above his golf course without city zoning approval.
Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported that Trump settled the case by making a $100,000 donation to charities. However, the money he used for that donation came from other donations to his own charity.
The Trump team has yet to comment as to whether or not the clip was taken out of context.
