I hope Trump's blood is boiling that he was forced to cave.

[MineralMan]

1. He caved because the American Legion and another

veteran's organization called him out on his pettiness. He screwed up, and had to back away from his screwup. What a loser! HaHa!

[herding cats]

4. I agree!

They stood up to the petty bully and he backed down.

[MineralMan]

7. He is a sniveling, cowardly bully.

That is all. Like all bullies, when someone stands up to him, he folds like a cheap umbrella.

[Nay]

13. I hope those vets remember this when they next hit the voting booth. But I'm not holding

my breath.

[Cha]

2. Was there a question?

Mahalo, herding

[GusBob]

3. Trump blames someone else and takes credit in 3,2,1.......

[herding cats]

17. He won't address it himself.

He'll just ignore any questions about the matter entirely.

[DesertRat]

5. DT was Forced

[spanone]

6. FUCK the white house....too damned late.

[babylonsister]

8. Good. That man doesn't have a decent bone in his body; I'm

happy smarter heads prevailed.

[mokawanis]

9. So tRump finally gave in to pressure

but only after showing the world what an asshole he is. Typical.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. back to half mast at Washington Monument, too

from live video on msnbc

[demmiblue]

11. Just saw it on MSNBC:

No going back, asshole. You have been thoroughly (and rightly) shamed.

[MineralMan]

15. Now, watch him lie about it through Sarah Huckleberry.

"No, the President did not order that. I've already answered that question thoroughly. The person who ordered it is being counseled at this time. It wasn't the President, as I have already said so many times."

[demmiblue]

12. ...

[Brother Buzz]

14. Well, the orange anus did make McCain's death about him

for one news cycle!

[Iggo]

16. Yeah but the narrative was about how McCain is so much better than him.

But I guess all pub's good pub to a narcissist.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Twits!

[Honeycombe8]

19. Kellyanne says Trump says they were at half mast the whole time!

And his inauguration crowd was the largest in history! And he builds the best walls! And he hires the best people! and so on and so forth.

[EffieBlack]

20. Half-staff ... Half-mast is only on ships

Don't mean to sound like grammar police, but that's a pet peeves of mine.
