As-yet-to-released ‘First Man’ would have been ‘much bigger success’ with U.S. flag: Trump
U.S. President Donald Trump says a docudrama about the moon landing would have been a “much bigger success” had it shown the planting of the American flag.
But the movie, First Man, won’t be in theatres until Universal Pictures releases it next month.
The film recently was previewed at the Venice Film Festival, and some conservative pundits have decried its lack of emphasis on the American flag’s planting on the moon by astronaut Neil Armstrong. Armstrong’s sons have defended the film, calling it anything but “anti-American.”
Trump closed a rally Thursday in Billings, Mont., by speaking about the achievements of American ancestors who built railroads and linked highways. He says ancestors also “proudly planted an American flag on the face of the moon, which is not shown in that movie.”
