President Trump will light the White House in blue on Monday night to honor fallen police officers, after his visit to Capitol Hill to memorialize officers killed in the line of duty.

"In humble appreciation of our hard-working law enforcement officers, Melania and I will light the White House in blue on May 15," Trump announced in a statement released shortly before his Capitol appearance.





Very presidential.

I absolutely hate this symbolism over substance bull shite.

Stupid arse twisted ribbons, dumping of ice water on your head, etc etc.

None of that crap ever does anything useful for anybody.

But I can guarantee you were too chicken shite to say that publicly back then. Knowing you would have likely been fired for it.

It's so refreshing to have a president that cares for LEO's and doesn't hate them.

Liberals are going to hate it. Rainbow colors, good. Blue color, bad.

I thought it was cool but thought Obama was a pussy for not lighting it up after those cops were murdered. Told you all you needed to know about their contempt for law enforcement.

Oh I agree...

I would still say that symbolism over substance is worthless.

I would add that lowering right to the same level of imbeciles and trash, does not achieve the goals moral people seek.

It also helps create a one-up-man-ship that never ends.

In the end it makes those institutions and ideals that made our country great look foolish.

Well, I am glad he is doing that and it means something to me.

And don't poo poo the ice bucket challenge - it's reported that in 2014 it raised $114 million for ALS research.
