Promo For Trump’s UFC Birthday Event Fouls Up Image Of U.S. Flag

For Donald Trump’s 80th birthday next month, an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bout will be held at the White House, and both the administration and UFC are promoting the event online.

However, they’re not doing a very good job with their promos, not even bothering to notice that an image of the U.S. flag they used in one of their online postings contains only 48 stars, even though even a second-grader knows the flag contains 50 stars, one for each of the states.

As one person was quick to note, “I don’t want to suggest that the fine folks staging the mixed martial arts fight on the White House lawn for the president’s birthday are not sticklers for decorum and protocol, but their American flag’s got 48 stars on it”

That set off a chain reaction of online mockery.

Can this administration do anything right? Nope.
