One local man’s efforts to spread patriotism garners response from US President

All over Sunset Marina and the Ocean City Fishing Center, Trump flags are flying high in the sky.

Chris Little, a White Marlin Open Competitor said, "We all have our flags up and at the end of the day, it's pretty decorative with all Trump stuff."

Eddie Jordan, an Ocean City Visitor said, "We have made America great again."

All those "Make America Great Again" flags caught the attention of our nations' president.

Trump tweeted,"Great Photo from Ocean City, Maryland. Thank you. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

These flags are largely the work of one local man, Mark Odachowski.

Odachowski said, "The least I could do is support our country and our economy coming back."

Odachowski told 47ABC the idea to distribute Trump flags came to him after he hoisted a Trump flag up on one of his company's trucks on Route 50. 

He said he got a lot of positive response to the flag and when he ran into someone wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat, he showed him a picture of his truck with the flag.

Mark said the man immediately asked, "Where can I get one of those flags?" That's where the idea was born.

Odachowski said, "I mean people started calling me, how can I get one, how can I get one? I mean, they went faster than Kylie Jenner's lipstick line."

Odachowski said so many people have asked him for a Trump flag, that he's actually cleaned out several manufacturers and he still has more people waiting on flags.

Odachowski said, "I have literally a line of hundreds of people begging for these flags so they went quick."

Many of the people we spoke with on Monday told they love seeing the patriotic display.

Deb Jordan, a visitor from Florida said, "Well we were excited to see it. We were happy, started counting the flags, got up to a high number, and we're proud of that man."

Tommy Jones, a visitor said, "Love it. Love what he is doing for the country, beautiful thing."

Not everyone is so thrilled about the flags, however.

Many are taking to Facebook to express their concerns.

Jessa Arevalo said, "Makes my stomach turn."

Sue Zombi added, "#embarassed."

Rico Robi said, "SMH, sad."

Some people even disowned Ocean City. They said, "Throw the whole Ocean City away."

Despite the online backlash, Mark said he is just glad to be getting a message of patriotism out into the world.

"I just think it sends a message to America that we're ready to have growth, were ready to have prosperity again, its a clear indication that people see it, feel comfortable, and are just excited about America again," he said.

We're told President Trump will be signing three Trump flags out to the Town of Ocean City,  no word yet on where exactly those flags will be displayed.
