During a photo op today he also reiterated his executive order imposing a 1 year sentence for burning the flag (which has no statutory basis), commenting in part "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I haven't seen a whole story about this yet which would transcribe his remarks in full, but it seems rather relevant to the topic.
