It has been a stressful week for the United States President Donald Trump, as two of his ex-associates have been arrested on charges of finance violations.
Trump, instead of the usual red and white stripes, drew a blue one, inviting royal lashings on Twitter.
This took place during a visit to a children's hospital in Ohio.
The U.S. flag, as well known as the Old Glory, has 13 red and white stripes and blue rectangle in one corner filled with 50 white stars to stand for each state.
But, Trump as he always does, took the liberty to do things his way, and botched up the flag, bigly (!).
Social media erupted in a myriad of reactions, some in support, most in disdain.
The opioid crisis is one of our top priorities at HHS, with a drumbeat of action on the full range of efforts where we can assist local communities.

Those in support said that there are bigger issues to concentrate on or that he was just playing with the children.
Some even went to the extent of saying that he was writing a coded message about John McCain, who died two days ago or that he was paying tribute to the police, who wear a blue uniform.
But they were outnumbered by trolls, clearly.
Most said Trump wanted to draw a Russia flag, which consists of the white line on top, blue in the middle and red on the bottom.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is already probing if Russia played a role in the 2016 elections.
Galore asked him to go back to school, while few said he could have at least taken a look at the flag pin attached to his coat.
