President Donald Trump praised a New York supporter who successfully fought to fly a pro-Trump flag on his property.

The Village of Croton-on-Hudson in suburban New York City on Tuesday withdrew a zoning violation against longtime resident Lenny Amicola for displaying a "Trump Is My President" flag, citing public pressure, escalating threats, and a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The case garnered national attention through Newsmax coverage and local reporting, setting off a clash over free-speech rights and government overreach.

"Thank you Lenny. Great to be a WINNER, and that is you, a WINNER and a CHAMPION!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT," Trump posted late Tuesday night on Truth Social with a link to Newsmax's story about the village changing its stance on the flag.

Amicola, a disabled Vietnam veteran, has flown a flag supporting the president since 2021. The village ordered him to remove the flag because it did not comply with the town's "content-neutral code."

Amicola and his attorney, Roseann Schuyler, appeared Monday night on "Finnerty." The lawyer earlier spoke with a Newsmax reporter about her client's case.

"A lot of people in our community saw the interview with Rob Finnerty. Many more people than I knew watch Newsmax were watching," Schuyler told Newsmax on Tuesday. "They thought it was great. They were very happy. Multiple people have linked to the online Newsmax story on community social media, so that's been picked up by people in the neighborhood and people have commented on it.

"I really appreciated the web story, personally, because it explained what I thought was really appropriate focus on the legal issue of the differential enforcement and the disingenuous characterization of the flag as a banner which I think is really the key legal issue for the code-enforcement issue in the village."
