Are you still in this thread ignoring the fact that Trump was inside a hangar, thus indoors, and the rule you cited doesn't apply?

What the frick is wrong with you? You are an idiot AND a liar.
Can you clarify whether he was indoors or not? You haven't made that clear.

In all seriousness, does this mean it's less disrespectful of an NFL player kneels in a dome than in an open stadium? I'm trying to understand the contextual parameters of acceptable behaviors since you're so adamant about them and hurling a bunch of insults for those who are not in line with them.

I just watched the video, he was unaware of what was going on in the background while doing an interview with Hannity.



It’s a frick up by his people and hannity’s, to not know that it would be played.

The POTUS should already know these things about being on a military base regardless.

The OP is calling people hypocrites for their fake outrage about one flag incident.

The public affairs staff should have warned them this was going to occur and what the proper protocol is. I could line up 100,000 average citizens and maybe (maybe) twenty would know what “retreat” is and what is the proper way to respond.

Yes, he was indoors. The event was indoors inside a hangar building. The purpose of a hangar is to have a place for large equipment that is indoors.

No, but it might make you the kind of a-hole who is fine with burning the Flag every time you're butt-hurt about something, maybe?

I have been to plenty of events in hangars that are considered indoors, even though the military personnel are wearing headgear, so your experience is not dispositive.

BUT if your decision is to take your own singular experience as dispositive of the issue, then, I respect that.

If, in your world, indoors is often actually outdoors, how can I argue with that?

If Trump does it again after being told how disrespectful it is, then yeah I guess it does.

He should have known better to begin with if he's going to run his mouth about anyone else as much as he has.

Since he was indoors, did he violate any flag lowering customs?
