        most politicians have the cynical survival instincts to lionize a popular figure as if they were their best friend thereby trying to soothe the deceased's public if not get some of the dead person's glory to rub on them. Here there was none of that. Graceless to a fault.

        Trump’s snub of a genuine war hero is an insult to every veteran, as John McCain was a champion of veterans’ rights and support.

        For all the service members and ex-service members. Take a note if you are a #Trump supporter. This man does not care a damn for your service as long as he gets what he wants.

        Trump shows his pettiness, meanness and lack of class by his snub of McCain.

        “The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President, and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.” The media KNOW this code. They are lying to you.

        And he don’t GAF about NONE of you! Vets are props to him. His closest reference to being in armed combat is a John Wayne movie.

        @realDonaldTrump is just pouting because he got called out by a man on his deathbed. A man who, even though I disagree with politically, will be remembered by all 'sides', while he can barely go 2 hours without having to stroke his own ego.

        The idea that Trump had to be ASKED or TOLD to fly the flag at half mass should enrage every veteran and serving service member.

        Trump is a very small person. He will die one day and may no flag be lowered in his memory.

        American Legion commander, is wasting his time. Forgetting that the occupant of the Oval Office is a draft dodging, petty, petulant, little man, who dishonors this great country everyday he's in office😒
