Suggests loss of citizenship or jail for burning the American flag

In an early-morning tweet, President-elect Trump declared that “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag,” suggesting consequences like “loss of citizenship or year in jail.” The proposal directly contradicted Supreme Court rulings protecting flag burning as free speech (Texas v. Johnson) and raised alarms about his willingness to strip citizenship as punishment for dissent.

"Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!" — Twitter post
