US Flag Lying on Ground at White House Raises Questions

Nov 17, 2025 at 05:02 AM EST

An image is circulating online, showing an American flag lying on the ground at the White House, which has quickly sparked questions and concerns over what happened to the flag.

Newsweek has contacted the White House outside of normal business hours via email for comment.

In an image taken on November 16, Trump is pictured returning to the White House after having spent the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

As the president walks on the lawn, behind him, the American flag is lying on the floor.

A separate image, which has been shared on social media, shows the flag lying on the floor, with no one else in the frame.
