      National Park Service employee tells me they got an email around 10am ordering flags at half staff. Around 2:30pm, email went out cancelling it and saying flag should go back to regular order. And around 5:30, another one went out saying to lower again.

      Employee says the flag lowering process is usually very straightforward — start and end time. This was... different.

          if the potus and his administration can't get raising and lowering the flag properly what makes any one think he can run the country.

          The amounts he lost were so massive ( & all other casinos were booming) many economic specialists feel it was money laundering.

          It was definitely money laundering but that shoukd have made it even easier to make money.https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/05/22/politics/trump-taj-mahal/index.html …

          Everything about this administration is different. Trump thinks the WH is the Trump House.

          Wow. Trump sent a message accross the nation after all. Specifically, he told every employee of the federal government that the people running things have absolutely no clue what they are doing. Can’t even figure out where the flag should be on the pole in front of the building.

          Tell us a story about a Park Service employee who refused to raise the flag - out of conscience, patriotism and human dignity. #Please There must be one.
