Before he was president, Donald Trump bought an estate in West Palm Beach, Florida. He put up a 80 foot flag pole and flew a 375 sq ft US flag on it. The City Council told him that he could only have a 30 foot pole but he refused to take it down. They told him they would fine him $1250 a day until he took it down. He said fine, that's a chump change. When the fine reached $120,000 he went to the the city council and made a deal. He would lower the flag to a 50 foot pole if he could donate the $120,000 to the Veterans Affairs, to which they agreed. He took the 80 foot pole down and a landscape company came in and built a 30 foot hill where the pole was and put up a 50 foot pole.That's why we love our Donald J. Trump. He’s a REAL Patriot. Not a fake tv personality.

I remember hearing this on the radio before he became President. It stuck with me because I admired how he outmaneuvered the council & got the job done the way he wanted & helped the Vets in the process.
How to deal with opposition 101.

I don't think he removed the 80 ft Flag pole just had the dirt brought in making a 30 ft hill around it making the Flag pole 50 ft.
