'MAGA hates America': Donald Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle face backlash over upside-down flag display

JUPITER, FLORIDA: Donald Trump Jr, 46, and his fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, are under fire for their display of an upside-down American flag at a Trump boat rally in Florida, over the weekend.

The former first son and his future wife appeared in a video shared to X (formerly Twitter), standing at the edge of a dock, enthusiastically waving to a flotilla of boats bearing Trump 2024 flags.

Among the fleet were several vessels proudly displaying the controversial upside-down American flag - a symbol traditionally used by sailors in dire distress, but now co-opted by some Donald Trump, 78, supporters to protest the current administration of President Joe Biden, 81, and deny the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.

Previously Trump Jr displayed the upside-down flag in father's post-arrest warning

However, this isn’t the first time Donald Trump Jr. has used the upside-down flag as a symbol of protest.

In April 2023, following his father’s first arrest, he posted an image of the inverted flag on social media, captioning it with a dire warning: "Shocking, how much further we [have fallen than] anyone could have ever imagined. This is just the start of the slippery slope towards tyranny."

With the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, Trump Jr and his father have intensified their focus on Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

Trump Jr recently took to X to accuse Walz of avoiding public debates, stating, "Just like his comrade Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is ducking from doing more debates because he's afraid of the American people seeing just how radical he truly is!!!"
