You're 100% correct. It is our flag. Every Americans flag whether they are white, black, brown, purple, straight, gay, etc.
It's also an act (one that I would never take upon myself) that one of the most praised conservative judges lauded as an expression of free speech. You know that item us Americans like to refer to as the First Amendment. Direct quotes below.
“If I were king, I wouldn’t go about letting people burn the American flag. However, we have a First Amendment which says that the right of free speech shall not be abridged, and it is addressed, in particular to speech critical of the government. I mean, that was the main kind of speech that tyrants would seek to suppress.”
“Burning the flag is a form of expression,” Scalia continued. He later added that burning a flag is an action that “expresses an idea."
So basically he would say Trump is akin to a Tyrant.
