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.

    This represents any other country with a similar color scheme. Like france, iceland, chile, costa rica, north korea and others. This is honesty a bunch of nothingness, but the left likes to rage over clickbait just as bad as everyone else.

      Its classic design used by russia and russia alone. Thin stripes of russian flag colors. If you live with your head under the sand far from russia you wouldn’t know about it.

      No lie. No matter the order of the stripes, you’re going to come out with someone’s flag.
