I think he had it inked on his penis as well.

dems had to hop on the bandwagon ("oh look! i'm patriotic too!")

meanwhile, as fuckface continued to sport his little flag pin to prove to everyone what a great merican he was, he managed to screw all of us and the rest of the world while his flock of sheep couldn't see beyond the fucking lapel pin.
