Why do you think President Trump ordered all US Flags at half staff for the death of a Political Commentator, but not for the death of actual Legislators?

Trump knows he can capitalize on the death by appealing to his base.
He only cares about personal loyalty
The flags are requested to be down at half-staff for a longer period of time for Charlie Kirk’s death than they are for 9/11
Edit – to clarify, yes, I understand the flags were at half-staff for a couple of weeks when 9/11 happened. My point was simply that this week specifically, flags will be at half-staff longer for Charlie Kirk’s passing than they will be for the annual 9/11 remembrance.
Idiocracy
Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA and is largely responsible for DJT
Because those legislators weren’t on his ‘side’ and therefore didn’t matter to him.
OH easy. He’s a piece of shit.
He’s already come out and said that he hates democrats months ago.
This isn’t new.
Rush Limbaugh won the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Answer: It’s all performative and they don’t care who loses.
Because the guy was a white nationalist Trump dickrider. I’m sorry, was this a trick question?
Its the least he could do for ordering a hit on a high profile MAGA to distract from Epstein.
And absolutely no mention of the shooting at a school in Colorado that also occurred today. It’s only a crime if they are the victim. Remember that.
Because hes a cunt
And why has he not even MENTIONED the student that got shot in Colorado?? I guess kids aren’t as important as political allies.
I’m glad to see other people upset by this because I’m honestly affronted by the lowering of the flag for a right wing media head.
The flag should really only be lowered for high ranking officials or in remembrance of a national tragedy.
Today there was also a shooting at a school in Colorado but the flag wasn’t lowered for that. It’s normally only lowered for the day of 9/11 and it’s going to be lowered for 4 days one of which covers 9/11?
To trigger the libs. (He is a self absorbed loser.)
But when Jimmy Carter died, an actual former elected president, he got pissed off because the flags would still be at half staff by the time his inauguration happened! I hope no blue states do it
Highly disrespectful for Charlie Kirk
he made it clear time and time again that he doesn’t want shooting to be politicized and that we shouldn’t let our empathy cloud our judgement
his death should be ignored, this is what he would’ve wanted
Because he is the pettiest man on earth. When John McCain died the WH staff automatically lowered the flag. He ordered it raised again and had to be shamed into re-lowering.
He made them raise the flags when Jimmy Carter died bc he didnt want them down during his inauguration, disrespectful unpatriotic pos.
Trump also ordered flags that were lowered to half-staff for President Carter’s passing RAISED so that the optics of his inauguration would meet with the image he wanted to project.
Frauds. Gun violence is senseless. Build on enacting sensible gun laws rather than blaming everything on trans hormones and DEI, Republicans.
Trump fucks kids
Because Kirk is their desperate distraction from the Epstein files.
Yesterday the letter Trump swore didn’t exist was revealed to the world. Today Kirk is killed.
Trump is going to talk about this for days. He’s going to do some insane/horrible shit as retaliation and keep ramping things up so we all don’t even have time to talk about Epstein.
Trump only cares about one thing. Himself.
Charlie Kirk worked to give Trump additional power.
Those legislators did not.
Therefore Trump thinks Charlie is deserving and they are not.
This type of reasoning explains every single behavior he engages in.
It’s a pretty transparent move. He’s only interested in honoring those he sees as useful to his own narrative. It really shows where his priorities lie, and it’s not with public service or national unity.
