The national commander of the American Legion, one of the largest and most prominent veterans’ organizations in the U.S., issued a statement Monday calling on President Donald Trump to adhere to “long-established protocol” and issue a proclamation praising the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and bringing the flags to half staff until his burial.
Trump adhered to the U.S. flag code but broke with recent precedent when he lowered flags for McCain only on Saturday and Sunday and declined to sign a proclamation honoring the late senator’s life.
President Barack Obama, by comparison, sent out proclamations and lowered flags for Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Daniel Inouye (D-HI) for days until their burials.
Ohhhhh, this is very good. Take that, donnie! A nice, fat, public rebuke for your assholishness.
Trump is finally starting to lose his grip with likely supporters. Good.
Taking a knee during the anthem to register your dissatisfaction with injustice is disrespectful, but using the flag to snub your dead political opponent is MAGA. Got it.
Hmm
Looks like Monday is going to be a bugger for the Tangerine Twit. Personally I am waiting for this week, the §resident is like a centipede. He is well the past the average count in waiting for another shoe to drop.
DJT: I like my crow with hypocrisy.
