    I noticed this in my travels through the Southwestern US. I’ve never seen so many flags on RVs, offroad vehicles, trailers, homes, trucks, etc.

    The Trump ones must have been a big uptick in new business. I suspect it’s displaced sports teams which perhaps the flag companies prefer as there are no trademark royalties?
