Donald Trump's administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.

The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a "Happy Flag Day!"

"Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great," the department stated Saturday.

The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

I heard they were playing "Fortunate Son" during the parade. If that's true, it HAS to be intentional irony by the DJ. There's no way anyone could be THAT clueless... right?

The song is about how the singer was drafted to serve in Vietnam; he didn't have the connections to get out of it. "I ain't no millionaire's son."

INCORRECT!! WRONG!
I'll have you know that he cheated on all his wives, not just wife.
And he bankrupted many casinos, (plus a holding company for a casino), not just a casino.

Also he's a rapist. And a racist. And a convicted criminal.
