“But Trump did what McCain can no longer do. Cave. He caved on the flag issue yesterday.”

He did. And that disappoints me. The White House could have clearly stated that they were following the Federal register in honoring McCain. Then they took heat and backed down.

But what should have happened is the flag at the WH should have stayed at half staff ‘til McCain’s funeral. The minute it’s over, the flag comes back up to full staff.

Trump should have used the opportunity to show how much more statesmanlike he was than McCain.

I am not disappointed. It shows me that Trump is willing to bend the rules from time to time when it benefits the citizens. Impossible to educate the uneducated so let them have a day or so of honoring the FLAG.

And you believe this is a worthwhile objective because??

Trump knows the man is a traitor.
