By now, you must have heard that Donald Trump and his merry men have interpreted football players' kneeling protests against systemic racism and police brutality as sins against the American flag.

Here are his best flag burns.

The task got to overwhelming that at some point, Cheng's "intern" Humbert had to take over the roasting.
Oman more like Oh man this sucks, why is there a symbol in the corner which looks like some S&M gear
