    After criticism poured in from veterans groups and others, the flags were again lowered to half-staff at the White House.https://usat.ly/2PMJvGO

        Trump is such a "standup guy" who's got so much courage, honor, decency that he had to have 5 deferments cause he's such a "patriot". Wonder how he'd do with 2 different sets of broken arms & being in a POW camp for 8 years. He has nerve to wear the American flag pin.

        It's probably a good thing that trump was a draft dodger multiple times. No way a little wimp like him could have even made it through basic military training, (Probably not even for ONE day!), let alone endure all the things John McCain did.

        He just put in the order for his custom printed "all time favorite president" mug. Can't have that self-declared title slip before his present to his ego arrives.

        Remember, not because it was the right thing to do, but because people loudly told him how wrong it was.

        What an embarrassment that he had to be told to do the right thing. This so called president is such a mean spirited low life.

        But it’s okay for the NFL to kneel and your worried about a flag not being at half mass when you let the NFL disrespect the American Flag

        No one should have to TELL you to do the right thing. @realDonaldTrump you are the worst, the most morally bankrupt individual that has ever been placed in office. Please do us a favor and sit down and shut the hell up. Thank you, the American people

        To little to late!! Trump should be so ashamed of himself!! He is a total disgrace and petty! He would never have done this without the pressure from so many around him!! So sad!! In fact his entire staff should leave the Whitehouse now and let Trump be all alone!

        @USATODAY , considering @realDonaldTrump is so obsessed with our flag and the anthem, crazy he doesn't know how to respect @SenJohnMcCain correctly with our flag. #Impeach45 for his hypocrisy and law breaking ways.
