Evidently, somebody bugged the hell out of Trump long enough.
Full text of proclamation below:
(Note to Mods: As a work of the United States federal government, the following quoted material is in the public domain. Attribution is given to the White House Press Office.)
As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding service of Senator John Sidney McCain III, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half‑staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.
People really should be more gratified that Trump was bullied by Congress and veteran’s groups into putting out a statement written by his press secretary and lowering the flag again.
I said it before, the best and most respectful thing he could have done was remain totally silent, no tweets, no proclamations, no lying Sarah Huckabee Sanders trying to pretend he cared.
That would have been the best and the most the scum sucking Trump could have done.
No matter what he does, liberals love to whack at him. I notice that threads here, concentrate on bashing Trump, who 10 years ago liberals thought was the worst person on earth. Much more liberal input on how horrible Trump is rather than just saying how sad it is that McCain lost his life, after decades of service. Can’t just say that I guess. Let’s use his death to bash Trump.
