Monday afternoon Trump ordered the flag back down in honor of John McCain’s death. The flag was raised to full mast as to protocol, then in the face of criticism Trump ordered it back until Sunday, when McCain will be interned. Before complaints Trump didn’t make any public statement about his death, although he tweeted his “deepest sympathy and respect” to the McCain family. A makeshift memorial has formed outside McCain’s former office in Phoenix. There will be memorial services commemorating the veteran, which Trump has been asked not to attend. Mike Pence, George W. Bush, and Obama are all invited to speak at the numerous services.
