1. Yes. But probably it didn't come from him personally -

it's just protocol. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/419267-trump-orders-flags-to-half-staff-for-30-days-to-honor-bush

2. Half staff

Only flags on ships are at half-mast. Flags on land fly at half-staff.

Sorry - but that's real pet peeve of mine ...

3. Yes, but it's half staff.

I doubt he did it, probably Kelly.

4. They came down pretty quick today

or at least when the contract maintenance guys in the government buildings came in this morning for their early shift (I used to chuckle about this with the guy who did the ones for my government building before I retired).

6. Doesn't really matter , seems

like the flag is constantly at half mast anyway.

7. Flags are at half staff so often these days

that most of the time I don't know the reason.
It really does not have much meaning anymore,
particularly I would say for younger people.

8. The VA clinic in my area has its at the top o'th'staff, but it's Saturday

And the death (hadn't happened?) yet, when they closed up at 5 P.M. yesterday --------------- *******ALTHOUGH******* the flag is supposed to be taken down for the dark. The rules started getting lost long before SHITLER arrived to assault them *all*.
