"unamerican?" maybe...but arguments over that would fall mostly on personal feelings and be ultimately meaningless to anyone but those involved in the argument...
"disrespectful?" yes.... in much the same way calling 911 to complain that your pizza was delivered cold or crank calling a suicide prevention hotline continuously could be seen as "disrespectful" to the point of being criminal...
the simple fact is that hanging the flag upside down is an internationally accepted sign of pressing and life-threatening distress.... to do it just because you feel like it or to make a political statement is as selfish and small-minded as calling an ambulance or going to the ER to complain that such-and-such politician makes you REALLY upset...
Neither, but it would be illegal. Hanging a flag upside down is an internationally recognized sign of distress, and doing it when you don't need help is considered a malicious false alarm.
It's a universal sign of distress. And with Trump "leading" the USA and the Free World, I could see why some people would want to fly the US flag upside-down.
It is unofficially considered by some people a sign of distress to hang some flags upside down. Try that with, for example, a French flag and nobody would notice. Go look up what a French flag looks like; I'll wait. That is the reason that an upside-down flag is not officially recognized as a distress symbol.
