Trump should have replied to the half-staff flag fiasco with a copy of the rules and regulations for flying a flag at half mast.

Unlike Odumbass who flew it at half-staff for entertainers Trump was following the rules.

The President can override protocol regarding the flag at any time by merely issuing a proclamation.

“Trump should have replied to the half-staff flag fiasco with a copy of the rules and regulations for flying a flag at half mast.”

That’s one thing that often disappoints me with Trump — when he begins to channel GWB and refuses to defend himself. This is one example. He could’ve tweeted the official “day-of-death and day-after-death” protocol. But he didn’t.

When he’s called a bigot/racist, he never points out that he was the only FL country club owner in that elite section of the state to insist that blacks and Jews be allowed to join.

When he’s called a misogynist, he never shows statistics on the female-heavy demographic in his company’s executive group.

These slams are easy to refute, but he doesn’t.
