In Croton-on-Hudson, New York, a man named Leonard Amicola is being told by his village to take down a flag that says “Trump Is My President.” The village says his flag breaks a rule about signs and flags in the neighborhood. But let’s be clear—this isn’t about flag size or rules. This is about silencing someone because they support President Donald J. Trump.

Let’s call it what it is: political censorship.

This is happening in a Democrat-controlled village just outside New York City. It’s no surprise. Liberal leaders across the country talk about free speech, but only when it fits their agenda. When someone speaks out in support of traditional American values or shows pride in our President, suddenly the rules change. Suddenly, a flag becomes a problem.

The village says their rules are “content-neutral.” That means they claim the rules don’t care what the sign says. But if that’s true, why aren’t they ticketing people with “Black Lives Matter” signs or rainbow flags? Why is it only the Trump supporter getting told to take his flag down?

This is the kind of double standard that’s been hurting this country for years. The Left wants to erase any sign of patriotism that doesn’t come stamped with their approval. They don’t want people to remember that Trump is still the strong leader millions of Americans stand behind. They want us to be quiet, to hide our beliefs, to feel ashamed of our values.

But we won’t.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is clear. It says we have the right to free speech. That includes political speech. That includes flags. That includes the right to say, “Trump Is My President,” loud and proud, from your own front yard.

The government has no right to tell someone to take down a political message just because it’s not popular in that area. That’s not freedom. That’s tyranny. That’s exactly what our Founding Fathers fought against when they broke away from the British crown.

This isn’t just about one flag in one small town. This is about the soul of America. If they can silence Leonard Amicola in New York, they can silence any of us, anywhere. Today it’s a Trump flag. Tomorrow it could be a Bible verse. Or the American flag itself. That’s how far the Left is willing to go if we let them.

It’s time for local leaders to remember they work for the people—not for party bosses in Albany or Washington, D.C. They swore an oath to obey the Constitution, not to bend the rules to punish conservatives. Every American has the right to show support for their President, especially when that President is Donald Trump, a man who has fought harder for this country than any leader in modern history.

Leonard Amicola should be praised, not punished. He’s standing up for free speech. He’s standing up for truth. And he’s standing up for America.

Let the flag fly.

We need more patriots like Leonard—people who won’t back down when the government tries to bully them into silence. This is still our country. These are still our rights. And no village code, no matter how cleverly worded, can take that away.

In the end, this is about more than a flag. It’s about freedom. And freedom is worth fighting for.

Stay strong, Leonard. Millions of Americans are with you.
