Now you can't appreciate the beauty of the White House at night. This dark fabric THING on an extra-tall white pole is wiggling around, dominating the shot, RIGHT IN THE FRONT. You can't miss it, unless of course the wind stops blowing and it hangs there like an extra-large wash rag. It's not even well-lit, so a quick glance will tell you there's some huge piece of dark cloth being blown around, in the way. They couldn't even bother to illuminate it at night? Or did that just not occur to anybody involved?
Looks like somebody's overcompensating...

The flagpole is Trump's surrogate penis and it is the only thing he wants people to see at all times.

I read they have installed TWO of these 88 foot tall flag poles at the White House.

The American flag. On MULTIPLE STEROIDS.
