[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6044581, member: 110123"] I really never even thought about it until trump mentioned it, and I’d bet the majority of people wouldnt either. No doubt some in the media and on social media would get some kicks out of the picture of him being sworn in with the flag half mast, and spin it to get clicks as some deep picture him being sworn in with half mast, so I can understand where he’s coming from It seems a little narcissistic and ego driven to go against customs and raise a flag earlier than usual though, especially for a fellow president, because you think it will make you look bad. But again, I do see his point and I didn’t think of it until he said it, but people would definitely spin the picture for their own motive, but I think he should have been the bigger man. Not mention it’s just setting bad precedent, I’m not sure people on the right would like the flag not being half mast if it was for Trump [/QUOTE]
