Nobody qualified to be president, certainly.

With anyone else, I’d say maybe he was just being creative- I bet not all of the kids had perfectly accurate flags either, and not because they didn’t know what a real flag looked like. But given that this is Trump, a man who is proudly ignorant, intensely stupid and possibly senile on top of all that… not willing to make that leap and give him the benefit of a doubt. Not knowing the flag of the country he’s in charge of fits in with his personality far better than artistic expression would.

Maybe he just needs a bit of coaching.
He could start with

So the whole birther thing was projection too? Wonder what country Trump was born in.

The whole birther thing was and is plain old racism.

I guess I would ask:
• Are you an American who grew up seeing the American flag pretty much constantly, your whole life, and had to do tons of craft projects all through elementary school involving coloring the American flag?
• Are you the actual President of the United States, whose entire job is to be the figurehead/representative of the country?
• Are you illiterate?

As a non-American I don’t think I’d know whether to start with red or white for the stripes, but that’s about it.
Even outside the US that flag is ubiquitous

I learned in grade school that the top and bottom stripes are red because they show up against the sky better than white stripes, especially a cloudy sky.

“Flags on poles outside schools, like the one he had to walk past to get to this classroom.”
You forgot “Flags he’s humped.”

Where is the source of this? The other images came from Alex Azar’s twitter but I need to know the source to actually believe this particular image is real.

Well, at least he wasn’t seated at the adults table, so his handlers got that part right.

Ew… I feel dirty looking at that .gif, it reminds me in this little scene from Transmetropolitan
I would bet money that this actually happens a lot in the oval office theses days…

There are an odd number of stripes (/founding states), so the top and bottom stripes are the same color. That color is red; I always figured that the idea was that the red stripes would have better contrast against a (typically pale or colorless) background, and so make the flag’s outline more sharply defined.
Anyway, that’s my mnemonic.
