Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.

The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a “Happy Flag Day!”

“Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great,” the department stated Saturday.

The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

    I wasn’t talking about aesthetics, but the US Flag Code.

    Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.

    If you cannot display the union stars, then the color order should be (starting from the top): Blue, Red, White.

    Red and White should always be next to each other. Putting the blue in the middle isn’t an aesthetic thing, it’s the wrong way to display the American flag colors without the union stars.
