Now we know how long Trump thinks flags should be at half-staff following the death of a president. I suggest we remember that for when Trump dies. ---

I suggest we show the respect due him and not lower the flag at all when he croaks. (Aside: that’s a good euphemism for him seeing as there are orange frogs.) ---

Sadly, I think you’re right. But not just because it’s his inauguration; rather, because Real American Patriots™ always fly the flag at full staff. Unless Trump dies, of course, when flags at half-staff for six months will be mandated. ---

[Vice President Trump has dissed firefighters](https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/celebrities/jimmy-kimmel-brands-trump-disgusting-for-unsurprising-response-to-california-fires/ar-BB1rq6wc) > Trump wrote on his Truth Social feed: “The fires are still raging in LA. The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place… **they just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?** ” Emphasis mine. The whole quote can be read as exasperation with California politicians. But the ‘they’ who are fighting the fires are… firefighters. Why can’t _they_ put out the fires? What’s wrong with _them?_ Jimmy Kimmel said: > “The fact that they chose to attack our firefighters – who apparently aren’t white enough – to be out there, risking their lives on our behalf is… it’s disgusting. But it’s not surprising.” ---
