@the-independent.com You today report incorrectly that people need permission to fly the EU #flag.
The flag is actually from the Council of Europe, adopted in October 1955 and copied by the EU 30 years later. The UK is a CoE member so we break no rules by flying its flag.

How lax are #Whitehouse procedures that this disgraceful image of #POTUS can be posted on the official website without the #President even knowing? Or is it that after the outrage and backlash, #Trump is once again lying to save his skin?

The game is up for good: there is nothing smart or strategic in #Trump 's embarrassing exemption from tariffs for smartphones and computers, just gross incompetence once again.
Trump doesn't think things through. Americans who voted for him have four years to repent and suffer.
