No, he would support congress passing a law making it illegal to burn the flag and he would sign.
"I want to get a law passed. Everyone tells me, oh sure, it's very hard. You burn an American flag, you go to jail for one year. Got to do it, we got to do it. They say, 'Sir, that's not constitutional.' We'll make it constitutional," said Trump during a National Guard address in Detroit on Monday August 26.
I agreed with Rehnquist dissent, would be interesting to see how this court would rule if congress actually passed a law with 2/3rds majority in each house.The Constitution has a process to amend it.
But, unlike your idea that the government can ban guns, banning the burning of the flag for anything other than proper disposal, even for political speech/protest, could be within the realm of possibility given the makeup of the nation.
It is also the nature of political campaigns to make extraordinary statements to gauge if the public will endorse those statements or not.
You not liking it, because Trump, is irrelevant to reality.
