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

        .@realDonaldTrump Do you weigh "loss of citizenship" as a similar punishment to a "year in jail"? Do you understand why they're not similar?

        It's the "perhaps" that's still really getting to me, as in, he would consider STRIPPING A PERSON OF THEIR US CITIZENSHIP on a lark.

        the "loss of citizenship" part is being lost in the "but it's protected by 1A" response. Scary stuff.

        I mean, it's not being "lost," so much as it's constitutionally abhorrent.
