        Thank you, Mr. Beschloss, for prefacing your comments on MSNBC this morning, 8/26/18, by noting the #PresidentOfTheUnitedStates likely ordered the raising of the flag back to full mast, from half-staff, after the loss of a true patriot who was #JohnMcCain.

        Because we have a petulant, vindictive child running our country currently.

        If they knew then that the White House would be occupied by low lifes, traitors and subversives today, they'd have burned it down before letting that happened.

        According to CBS this morning, the flag at the White House is at full staff today while the flag at the capitol is at half staff.

        Here is the protocol The death of a current member of Congress lowers the flag to half-staff on the day of death and following day.

        The White House is not Mr. Trump’s house, it is the People’s House. It is disgraceful that this man sees no value and comfort for the citizens of this country in abiding the symbolism of the flag at half-staff as they collectively mourn the death of this honorable one among them.

        But it’s not a half staff today. Disappointing, but not surprising.

        Proposed Congressional resolution: Rename Air Force One: "The John McCain Air Force One" I prefer naming all of Donald Trump's planes after pilots who experienced multiple plane crashes while honorably serving their country.

        This is how I choose to see our White House mourning the patriot @SenJohnMcCain . The way a President with any class would have it.
