And all those flags should stay up when he himself drops dead. Hopefully soon!
- I agree with the sentiment, but the flag should always be at half mass when a president dies. I don't care if we elect a literal turkey to the presidency. When that turkey dies, we lower the flags to half mast. It's a shame that Donald Trump doesn't see and understand that. Honoring the dead is important.
  
  Why honour the dishonourable?
  
  Just because Donald Trump doesn't understand how to properly honor the dead doesn't mean that we don't honor him. That's part of us living in an honorable society.
