    “They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    I’m having trouble processing this amount of projection given the circumstances.

      He’s reaching for that because he doesn’t understand a show of respect. He’s never gotten nor given such a thing, it’s alien to him.

    Trump is a piss baby bitch. In reality it doesnt mean much if the flags are half or full. He just wants to shit on Jimmy Carter and get people to do something, anything for himself.

    This pisses me off so much. Fucking states “we will lpwer them back down the next day” fuck you if raise might as well keep them up. You already shown you have no respect. Fuck every single politician that is even mentioning this should be done.

    Nixion didn’t even ask for this. Trump is such a fucking whiny bitch. I hope you chocks on goddamm hamburger.

    My guess is Trump hasn’t been able to get a boner for 30 years but still wants to feel like he’s at full mast for his inauguration.

      Fly em at full mast, but replace every flagpole in sight with poles that are a quarter of the height of the original pole.
