    In January 1973, flags were at half-mast during Richard Nixon’s second inauguration following the death of former President Harry S Truman. Trump is officially more of a cry baby than Nixon was.

    The guy who shoved his way through a group at a summit to make sure he was in front for a photo-op.

    The guy who bragged about walking in on a women’s dressing room.

    The guy who gassed protesters so he could pose awkwardly with a Bible in front of a church.

    That guy? Huh.

    This is the best real life analogy of a dick measuring contest I think I’ve ever seen. It’s just blatantly disrespectful so Trump can feel like a big man to his fanboys. And I’m sure most of them will be at full mast too as they jerk each other off about how awesome they are.

    Disrespectful but OK. Little baby man has to have flag up for his big day.

    If the flag were at half mast to mourn Trump’s passing and a Democratic president were being inaugurated I’m sure we’d be having a different conversation.
