The White House on Monday afternoon re-lowered its flags to half staff after drawing significant backlash for returning them to full staff less than 48 hours after the death of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
Multiple reporters noted on social media that the flags were flying at half staff once again. The White House did not immediately respond to questions for comment on why the change was made.

So how does Trump win here.
Just makes him look like wuss, and everybody else is still just as pissed off at him as before.

Yup. If he was gonna do this, he never should have raised it back in the first place.
Hey, it is not as bad as Whitney Houston in NJ who died in a bathtub drugged up. Those flags went half for a week. It is now a meaningless gesture.
Slowly but surely, Trump is being neutered.
Probably Ivanka’s idea.
I’m really starting to hate her.
That to me seems to be a classy and appropriate statement.
“Don’t like it. Not like Trump to cave.”
Ditto.
“I hope she doesn’t actually become our first female POTUS!!”
She can’t. Mother wasn’t a citizen when she was born. THANK GOD!!
Flythe don’t tread on me flag.
I don’t hate her, I just wish she would GO HOME!
Oh noes, Trump caved, the media’s REALLY gonna go after him now...
If this is in your top 50 list of things to worry about, give thanks for your good fortune.
Pick your battles. That’s the art of war.
Liberals complaining about the flag they disrespect, pretending to champion the military they hate who served in a war they thought was criminal.
FOR GOD’S SAKE.
ARE WE EVER GOING TO STOP LOWERING OUR FLAGS?
GOOD GOD, WE’RE FOREVER BENDING OVER!!
Oh. Well NOW, the media will praise POTUS, right?
Dear Mr. President,
1)Never let ‘em see you sweat.
2)Never back down, unless you know it’s the RIGHT thing to
do.
3)Never give in.
4)Never give up.
5)Do the right thing. (Even if “they” don’t like it.)
6)Keep your promises.
7)Build the wall!
8)MAGA, then KAG!
Trump should have kept the flag up and then said that both his short tweet and his one-day lowering of flag was to honor the McCain family wishes, since they clearly wanted to distance themselves from his administration.
Or to put it another way, if you don’t invite a guest, you can’t expect them to send you gifts.
>>>She can’t. Mother wasn’t a citizen when she was born. THANK GOD!!<<<
You’re kidding, right?
Sorry, but Obama broke the Mold. Nowadays an Illegal Invader’s Anchor Baby could run for POTUS and get Elected.
“Obama broke the Mold.”
Yeah; but he’s a Democrat. They don’t need to follow the law. Of course, so is Ivanka in her heart, and maybe she’d run as one.
I absolutely could not listen to THAT VOICE of hers giving presidential speeches. Almost as bad as Obama’s.
Just remember, he who is able to do the noble thing, no matter what the criticism, always comes out on top, in the end.
Sorry. Left the /sarc, off that first sentence.
