Nope, even the Hubble telescope, which is orbiting around the Earth, and is closest to the Moon, cannot see objects so small as a flag.
Not yet, at least.
In future, for sure there will exist more powerful telescopes which will be able to focus that american flag.

First Of All It Would Depend On How Powerful The Most Powerful Telascope Is,Then You'd Have To Compare The Latitude And Longitue Of The Most Powerful Telascope To That Of The Group Of Flags On The Moon
