Donald Trump has been remaking the White House to his taste, and along with making gaudy changes to the Oval Office , he's installed two 88-foot-tall flagpoles, one on the north lawn and one on the south lawn. Those flagpoles reappeared in the news when Trump returned after a weekend at Mar-a-Lago, walking past one with seeming indifference despite the flag appearing to be on the ground. This is, of course, a big no-no. As Title 4 of the U.S. Flag Code states, "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise," according to the Legal Information Institute .

An image of the American flag lying on the ground at the White House has circulated online, sparking questions and concerns. https://t.co/pJQ7HikP8i
