Trump Weird News - Both Seem At Half-Mast -- Arisen Yet?

[hopeymchope]

I'm like the opposite of a patriotic person — I think patriotism is usually a negative and detrimental thing, honestly, and I take zero pride in my home country. But you know how, when an important person in a country (like a former/current leader) dies, we fly our flags at half-mast out of respect/mourning?

When Dumbshit Jackoff Trump dies, we need to make it clear that we have ZERO respect for the dead. Let the world know that they have contributed nothing positive, ever, and their death is only a day of celebration. No mourning; only revelry.

Ergo, I think America should go as far in the opposite direction as possible. We should fly our flags at DOUBLE mast.

Attach one flagpole to the top of another flagpole.

Put the flag at the very highest level of the upper flagpole.

Maybe add a nice finial of a hand flipping him off to the tippy-top part for good measure?

"This flag was deliberately placed at half-mast so when it landed on Reddington and the glasses, I thought this was a nice, iconic image to introduce this guy." - Joe Carnahan, Director. Ep 101 Pilot.

Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past. We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast. Raise a glass!

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Many American soldiers died because of the outlast strategy and many of them died in between battles of diseases and injuries. 

There was no official policy on flying flags at half-mast until Eisenhower issued them as President in 1954. However, this did not mean that such things did not occur, it was just not with official protocol. 

Sources: the following sources were used - the collected letters/writings of Alexander Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton the Revolution, Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton, The Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton by Allan McLane Hamilton, Hamilton by Richard Syllia, and Charles Cerami’s book called Young Patriots. Another book used was Washington and Hamilton: The Alliance that Forged America by Stephan F. Knott and Tony Williams.

(Fun Fact) The flag of Saudi Arabia is never flown at half-mast because the shahada is considered holy

from /r/vexillology Top comment: It also should not be put on some stuff, they have the palm tree flag for it. I remember when one World Cup they put the Saudi flag on a football (soccer ball to Americans), not sure if an official licensed product and someone f-ed up, or if unofficial, but widespread. Saudis and many other Muslims were not happy...
