In a press conference following an extremely Hitlerian display by Stephen Miller and JD Vance at the White House, Donald Trump stated his intentions to declare Antifa - a leaderless antifascist groundswell and general mindset - a domestic terrorist organization.

After that, some asshole who has not yet been identified asked Trump if he would consider ordering the removal of transgender flags from 14th Street in DC on the grounds that they "incite violence". Trump had a positive reaction to the question, but stated that such a removal would probably be challenged on free speech grounds. However, said asshole followed up by stating that the flag is often used by Transtifa - a moniker often used by transgender antifascists - and claimed that means the flag not only incites violence, but represents terrorism.

Trump's somewhat noncommittal stance shifted immediately, and he stated that he believes he can get away with banning the transgender flag based on those grounds.

If he follows through with this, fam, using the transgender flag in any way may very well result in a formal accusation of engaging in domestic terrorism. The future of the flag is most certainly at stake

It’s not stupid. It’s intentional theater and posturing.

The action obviously is ignorant. But the people doing it have their reasons. And it’s often self enrichment, class interests, and fetishising made up conceptions of traditions.

You're reading a lot into what most likely amounts to bad writing. If these characters were as smart and capable as you think, they would be working on multiple angles of engagement, at the same time.

There would be the legal angles...which they intentionally fumbled, according to you...and then there would be the covert angles, which are still ongoing.

But then there are the potential financial angles, which really depend on public / investor confidence. How much confidence do people have in both active parties? Who are they willing to "bet on" to come out on top of this transaction? Without that confidence, Yutani would potentially be losing investors to Kid Kavalier, who appears to hold all the cards.

Why would she intentionally sabotage her own position like that, when she literally had the means to dominate that meeting, on all three fronts?

Just because orange baby is terrified of something he doesn't understand...

Let's pretend we take this at face value. It sounds like even more of a reason to fly a transgender flag. Also I do have a fear if this goes to the Supreme Court it would be held up.
