Don’t like it. Not like Trump to cave.
Dammit!
Agree
This is an admission of wrongoing, a weakness
What BS
Even Ivanka had to chime in today, calling McCain a “true American hero!”
I hope she doesn’t actually become our first female POTUS!!
But he did.
Let's wait and see if there's an official Presidential Proclamation regarding display of the flag. So far today, nuthin'.
He should order all flagpoles cut in half.
There’s no way in hell President Trump was going to ignore a request from the American Legion over this.
“Don’t like it. Not like Trump to cave.”
Ditto.
President Trump DOES NOT cave.
He NEGOTIATES!!!
I think the ‘rules’ regarding the flag lowered from the day of announced death till burial for a member of Congress...usually about ten days.
You can make yourself look "small" and immature by responding in a small way to people's deaths.
That said, I'm not the president so I can say that McCain had nothing to show for his career beyond surviving in North Vietnam as a POW and returning home. His record is dismal and so should his legacy.
He diminished his character by abandoning his first wife who had waited for him during his imprisonment, and took up with some pretty, rich eye-candy in which to enrich and advance himself.
He's a carpetbagger who was not from Arizona but thought becasue he was married to a rich, Arizonan that he was entitled to run for an open seat.
He got caught with his hands in the cookie jar as one of the Keating Five. Guilty as charged but no punishment.
He admitted he almost switched to the democRAT party á la Alan Spector.
He claimed John Kerry was considering him for a democRATic running mate in 2004.
He not only crossed the aisle to sponsor a bipartisan campaign finance law but he went all the way to the far-end of the Left's bench to work with Russ Feingold, at the time, the most radical, liberal in the democRAT party.
He was for arming the Syrian rebels who turned out to be ISIS terrorists.
He was THE WORST Republican nominee for president in my lifetime in 2008.
But his worst failure and biggest crime of all, is that he was good friends and drinking buddies with that lying, corrupt criminal, Hillary Clinton.
I'm still grasping for something, anything that this man did to benefit the American people in his political career. Nothing comes mind.
It is noteworthy to point out that the members of the Senate who want to name the Senate building after McCain, are the democRATS, led by Chuck Schumer, not his own party, the Republicans.
Another telling item in McCain's tainted legacy.
“Don’t like it. Not like Trump to cave.”
I think he did it for the vets. They were not pleased with the flag being at full mast.
