President Trump hugged the US flag at a rally Tuesday, prompting a barrage of hate from leftists who simply couldn’t stomach such a display of patriotism from the President.

Trump had spoken about the immigration problem, which has come into the spotlight due to the policy of border officials separating children from those who are arrested trying to enter the country illegally.

Trump noted that the policy has been in place since before he took office, stating “We want to solve family separation. I don’t want children taken away from parents, and when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally — which should happen — you have to take the children away.”

Trump called the current immigration laws a ‘monstrosity’.

He followed up with two tweets Wednesday:

The Fake News is not mentioning the safety and security of our Country when talking about illegal immigration. Our immigration laws are the weakest and worst anywhere in the world, and the Dems will do anything not to change them & to obstruct-want open borders which means crime! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 20, 2018

It’s the Democrats fault, they won’t give us the votes needed to pass good immigration legislation. They want open borders, which breeds horrible crime. Republicans want security. But I am working on something – it never ends! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 20, 2018

Following the speech, the President hugged a US flag in front of photographers, prompting leftists on twitter to lose their shit:

Donald Trump disrespects the American flag by giving it a creepy hug, again https://t.co/THECfdVYIh pic.twitter.com/7ZKC6FXriu — Mashable (@mashable) June 19, 2018

Message to Trump: the American flag stands for justice, freedom, opportunity and compassion for the most vulnerable. Next time, in addition to hugging the flag, hug a child. pic.twitter.com/KdbRPEDjzT — Barbara Boxer (@BarbaraBoxer) June 19, 2018

Today, Trump has said illegal immigrants 'infest our country'. He tries to justify ripping children from their families & throwing them in cages. Then he hugs an American flag while walking off stage at an event. I can't think of a more unAmerican asshole ever. — ✊USAF✊ #VetsResistSquadron (@Goss30Goss) June 19, 2018

He’s literally Hitler:

Trump has devolved into an idol worshipper. He can show love to a flag but not to people

This is how Hitler came to power

Trump's lackeys won't allow anyone to hug thousands of suffering children who he has ripped from parents arms#ChildAbuse by a sick hateful racist president pic.twitter.com/825VXenuhS — Greenspaceguy (@greenspaceguy) June 19, 2018

We Americans need to study Hitler and his actions, behaviors especially over-jealous decorations around them German flag and see how close Trump's current flag hugging patriotism. Its scary to imagine what could potentially be next. — Moazzem Hossain (@mhossain108) June 20, 2018

This whole situation is just like Hitler with the Jewish people except these are children. Trump will soon be a dictator and all of our rights will be taken away. when he hugged the America flag today he looked like pure evil. — Lindashupe49 (@Lindashupe9) June 20, 2018
