WTF - this flag baffled me..

I NEED HELP TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING!
A couple of weeks ago I rode to Northport, Long Island. There is a nice harbor in this small North Shore village.
And this is what I saw: (have a close look at the picture).
I saw 'trumpist' flags, but this one baffled me - "re elect' Trump - but what is the last digit of the year? It doesn't look like '4'... This photo was shot in October 2024.
If this is '0', an old, battered flag - from the previous election?
Am I missing something - or some people live in a parallel universe?

A motorcycle trip from New York City to Orient Point, LI - ferry across the Sound to New London - and a trip home through the Connecticut...

Yesterday, (Wednesday 10.09.24) I made finally the LOOP, as shown on the image (on my motorcycle).

From New York City to Orient Point, LI - about 107 miles (2h 45m). And then a ferry across the Sound to New London (1h 20min trip). And then 128 miles from New London, home.
247.8 miles which should take 5 - 5.5 hours of riding, and actually took 9 hours - thanks to the traffic around New Haven, then Stamford, and from Mount Vernon right to the gates of the NYC.
BUT:





I had a pleasure to sail across the Sound on the ferry which happened to be U.S.S LST 510 - one of the boats which landed our troops on Omaha Beach during the D-Day in 1944.
I have to admit - I felt privileged...
(and the smooth ride going East through the LI Wine Country was amazing - I will have a few screengrabs from the video my GoPro was recording - in the next post...)
