Can also be seen as mourning for America. Under T****, it might need to stay at half staff.

As for me, I'd love to fly a pure black flag for four years, but I'm afraid some yahoo might mistake it for an Isis flag and do me harm.

Search "Black American Flag". They are less expensive than the one I bought for a teammate recently.

And he’ll justify it by claiming that he had overwhelming pressure from “so many”Americans to undo the evil Democrat plot to disrespect him.

saying, "President Trump, please Make America Great Again by ensuring the flag I fought for waves high above the land of the free at all times."

How could he do anything other than order the flags raised?
