But Trump did what McCain can no longer do. Cave. He caved on the flag issue yesterday.
NeverTrumpers have nothing but hate to offer.
Or, Trump got a bunch of flag-haters to admit that the symbolism the flag represents is worthy of acknowledgement.
“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.
But Trump did what McCain can no longer do. Cave. He caved on the flag issue yesterday.
*************************************************
Trump is smart enough to choose his battles carefully. He is gradually and methodically WINNING the war. Never forget that.
Lol. That was not cave. Trump did that to troll liberals and never-trump trolls.
Trump gave them a tiny, meaningless victory, he took the issue off the table whilst still winning the war.
But Trump did what McCain can no longer do. Cave. He caved on the flag issue yesterday.
McCain, a petty little man, is worm food.
Trump is the best-ever president.
He caved on the flag issue yesterday.

Never miss a chance to slam President Trump, do you? You can’t see that He is teaching you lefties all about diplomacy and that he is president of ALL the people!
I see it a bit differently. I see Trump's action on this to be one of those things in life we find distasteful but for the good of all; he took one for the team. It was a minor concession, sure, but it had the enemedia squawking like the carrion they are. Squawkers are gonna squawk. Best to give them something you want them to squawk about rather than let them define the narrative.
Make no mistake; the "enemedia" is the true enemy of America in collusion with the dem party. We can't lose sight of that fact.
Once the enemedia picked a side and started working as propaganda activists like they did during the 2016 Presidential campaign; they eliminated themselves from being the 4th pillar of government. Can't have it both ways. Either they report the news or they create the news as activists. They chose activism.
Protocol for flying the flag at half staff. the WH flew the flag for McCain at half staff the day he died and the next.
Anything more is just a courtesy and much ado about nothing.
Please come back when you have a legitimate gripe.
“He caved on the flag issue yesterday.
I believe it was strategic.
Because if he didn’t the Media would go 24/7 about how POTUS Trump dissed the VFW and other Veteran Groups with the intention to erode his Support.
Besides, it will be forgotten with the next Muellar Bombshell Indictment News.
Indeed.
” Cave.”
It’s called “picking your battles.” No sense in going against the grain of adulation for that politically flawed man from Arizona. Like the man himself, once the plug is pulled, this will die out quickly in the next news cycle.
Bottom line -— John McCain is dead. President Donald Trump lives!
