Behind the press area at the Hickory, North Carolina rally, two machine lifts were extended high to hoist a massive American flag at the back of the rally site. But as President Donald Trump was speaking, one of the structures appeared to collapse behind the crowd, taking down the American flag with it.

New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi captured the moment on video showing the lift on the right side falling backward against the building at the back of the rally site and detaching the flag.

It must be a sign but of what?

1. Think any of the trumpanzees will get the symbolism?

Probably not.

[riversedge]

18. I doubt they will.

13. Flies, Poseidon, Titanic

I sense a theme,

[sheshe2]

23. ...

[relayerbob]

3. Any bald eagles seen performing air strikes?

[MyOwnPeace]

9. Like maybe

diving in on the "Orange Squirrel?"

4. did they play the titanic song here? nt

[CatMor]

5. Is it the fall of the House of trump.

[Clearly fogged in]

16. Who among the cataleptic flag holders dozed off?

[CatMor]

19. Could it have been trump himself.... He does go into trances.

[SharonClark]

6. That proves he's not an American.

No eagles soaring overhead for him and no drumline dancing either.

[Ilsa]

7. Did the flag fall on IQ45 and strangle him?

If not, the SS agents missed a golden opportunity to finally be rid of their superspreader in chief.

8. Maybe the religious nuts will take note

But its really just a reflection of the clowns that work for the campaign,

[Blue Owl]

10. Probably a cheap, corner-cutting, non-union setup

Did they find any bodies under there?

[Renew Deal]

12. That's the location that played the Titanic song.

[crickets]

15. Well, we can all see how that worked out for them.

[KewlKat]

14. That they can't hang a flag any better than they can manage COVID infections

17. JLG scissor lifts. No stabilizing legs, maximum height, heavy winds, large flag...

Rental lifts dropped off by rental company and operated by someone not trained to operate them.
What could go wrong?
If someone had gotten hurt, trump people would have been at fault and rightly sued.

21. Great metaphor!

hehe

22. he put people in the hospital for hypothermia...

then he put people in the hospital for heat stroke. Takes them almost as long to find their car, as it does to vote. The flag is a nice touch. All poetry in motion.
