Trump Flag conundrum

So on a whim three weeks ago I flew my Trump Keep America Great Again flag. My boat is berthed adjacent a promenade that encircles the city marina and is a very popular path for Benicia residents to walk the dogs, Kids ect. When I am at the boat I always get several Thumbs up and exclamations of GO TRUMP! There is a houseboat across the fairway from me that has put up a ten foot plus Biden 2020 sign. I'm good with that, she has her views, Fine!
I get a call this evening from the harbor master asking me to take down my flag. The management actually is supportive of Trump and loves my flag but they have been inundated with complaints from tenants of the Condos that overlook the marina about both of the flags/banners.
There is actually a clause in my slip contract that prohibits the display of signage on the boats with the exception of For Sale signs for the boat.
I'm a reasonable chap and I only put up the sign for yuks so I agreed to remove it. Now I'm having second thoughts. Do I keep the peace in the place I just go to relax on my boat and let a few Snow Flake Libertards tread on my first amendment rights? I'm getting musings from friends about contracts not trumping constitutional rights and such.
The Gal with the Biden sign says she will take hers down only after I take mine down. She happens to be a currently out of work bartender/server at our club and we actually have a good relationship, hence the conundrum I find myself in. Any thoughts?

Too pretty of a boat for any flag other than USA IMO, doesn't matter if it's a Trump or Biden flag.;)
 
I just read through all the posts, and my conclusion, I need to buy a TRUMP flag... If for nothing less to piss some people off... Almost everyone I boat with has one on their boat... I often wonder why did Trump not win in NJ, when vast majority of the people I know support Trump... I live on the water, so I have no reason not to fly the Trump flag... Now I need to a flag pole and a flag...
 
In retrospect, In my 58 years I have never as much as picked up a bumper sticker for a campaign of any stripe. My main objective here was to show support for the administration doing as well as anyone could expect given the little information on the situation any one could have at the time. This was at least a month ago. I still happen to think although he really needs to stop thinking out loud during pressers he and his team have done a bang up job. I especially think he was smart to turn over the reopening specifics to the Governors and the local authorities and simply be available as an informational support for them.

58 years???? Me too but only for another two months:rolleyes:
 
Hey CD, If the Trump flags weren't so big (bigley) they might not look so bad but personally it reminds me of down here when I see a pickup truck with a HUGE US or Trump flag in the bed, it just looks trailer trashy to me:D I mean come on, we don't have US flags that big our boats.....LOL

Fortunately there are guidelines that most of us follow about what size US flag you should fly on what size boat.

Unfortunately there are no guidelines for stupid.

Yes, but in flag size, the US flag should always be bigger than the Trump flag:D The big Trump flag looks GAWDY to me a it does in an old rednecks beat up 72 Chevy pickup truck:D And a big GAWDY Biden flag looks no better....LOL

Well its no longer an issue, at least on my boat. I gave it to a buddy that lives in the condos surrounding the marina. He is now hanging it proudly from his balcony. Not my monkey, not my circus:D
