Read the regs on flag lowering, don’t think journalists fit the bill. In my opinion it is done too often and not for its intended purpose. IMHO...

What ever it takes to criticize Trump huh?
1. "According to Buckley, the president declined the request.According to Buckley, the president declined the request." - Key words "according to"... i.e. The Democrat Mayor took an opportunity to criticize the President (color me shocked).
2. "Gov. Larry Hogan (R) ordered Maryland flags lowered flags to half-staff Friday through sunset" as Governors are allowed to do for their state.
3. "White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told CNN Tuesday morning that the president will lower flags to commemorate the Capital Gazette shooting. “Last night, as soon as the President heard about the request from the Mayor he ordered the flags to be lowered,” Sanders said, according to CNN."
4. He did in fact order the flags to be lowered, so move on.

Were you equally critical when President Obama took his time for the victims in Chattanooga?

As another poster stated, we are doing it too much, and it's being used to a point where we will never raise the flag fully. Let the Governors do it for their states.
