NBC News contributor Frank Figliuzzi said Tuesday that President Trumps decision to fly American flags half-staff until Aug. 8-- in response to the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings-- could be seen by white supremacists as a nod to Adolf Hitler.
Figliuzzi, a former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, made the claim during an MSNBC broadcast with Brian Williams. Trump issued the order on Sunday as a mark of solemn respect for the victims of the shootings.
The presidents either getting really good advice and rejecting it, or hes getting really bad advice," he said. "We have to understand the adversary and the threat were dealing with, and if we dont understand how they think well never understand how to counter them, so its the little things and the language and messaging that matters.

In their minds:
August 8 = 8/8 = H/H = Heil Hitler
Insanity ...
This douche nozzles was a FBofMatters agent.
<< So were going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8/8. No ones thinking about this. >>
No one except deranged idiots like Frank Figliuzzi.
I wonder...
Does Figliuzzi enjoy a level of personal security unavailable to the common citizen.
Asking....for a friend.
Talk about conspiracy nuts...
These people have lost their ever-loving minds.
Ah, yes, and I just heard that Trump brushed his teeth this morning - no doubt in support of his plot to put dentists out of work.
Every single day my tagline is proven true.
Every single day.
L
Uh, oh.
Just wait ‘till they realize that a piano has 88 keys and there are more whites than blacks.
Nothing
But
Crap
Figliuzi can fig off.
...he also indicated that Trump bowel movements were an overtly racist attempt to rid himself of material darker than himself. Obviously.
Additionally, when Trump breathes (unlike White Democrats), no one can deny the inherent racism that he is engaging in, by dis-proportionally consuming oxygen that could have gone to more deserving people of color.
All experts agree. The debate is over.
Frank still on bong water not news.
Which guy? The scribe? The president? Somebody else?
“...It’s the little things and the language and the messaging that matters...”
They accuse us of what they do, like kids on a playground. “No, you!”
Nationalism. Webster online defines it as loyalty and devotion to a nation.
White. “Being a member of a group or race characterized by light pigmentation of the skin”
By traditional definition, I am a proud white nationalist. I fly Old Glory every day and I’m of mixed, but certainly majority white descent, although I’ve got a heap more Native American blood than Warren.
Yes, I’m a white person that loves the US of A.
Before our very eyes the term “white nationalist” has become a poisonous pejorative, and “white nationalism” a thing that must be eradicated for the common good.
The genius of Trump, somebody said, is that he makes his enemies expose themselves.
To a globalist, race is a commodity to be used as leverage and patriotism is a crime.
Note who is beating the white nationalist terror drum like Nathan Phillips on steroids...the FBI (home of an anti-Trump cabal) and the msm, who have gone scorched earth because as they are exposed they become increasingly meaningless.
Go, President Donald John Trump, go!
Flag Etiquette
Half Staff Displays
From the Nov.-Dec. 1994 National Flag Foundations “Standard Bearer” Magazine.
This article remains the copyrighted material of the National Flag Foundation and is presented here by permission.
Flying the flag at half-staff is an area of flag etiquette that most people want to make sure they get right. It is also an area for which the road to error is routinely paved with good intentions. With that in mind, we offer this refresher course as the all-important intersection where knowledge meets benevolence.
FLYING THE FLAG AT HALF-STAFF: The pertinent section of the Flag Code says, “by order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possesion, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.
In the event of the death a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the Governor of that state, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff.” The code also includes other related details including the specific length of time during which the flag should be displayed at half-staff, in the event of the death of a “principal figure”(e.g., 30 days for the death of a sitting or former President, 10 days for the death of a sitting Vice-President,etc.).
GOOD-FAITH MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Although the code is actually pretty clear, confusion continues to occur. For example, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno recently ordered the American Flag flown at half-staff on all U.S. Department of Justice buildings, in honor of several DEA agents who had died. While NFF understands this gesture, the Flag Code does not give Attorney General Reno the authority to issue that order. Closer to NFF’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home, Mayor Tom Murphy ordered all flags flown at half-staff to honor the victims of a plane crash. Here again, a well-intentioned gesture, but one for which no authority exists. NFF points out these “good-faith misunderstandings” not to criticize or embarrass anyone, but rather to head off a growing trivialization of this memorial salute, and to preserve the dignity and significance of flying the U.S. flag at half-staff. To any readers who may think that NFF is insensitive for raising these breaches of etiquette, please be assured that our motives are pure. We grieve these human loses deeply; however, we believe proper respect for our flag must be maintained - no matter the circumstances.
We owe that respect to our living, our dead and our flag.
The connection is this. August 8th is written as 8/8. The eighth letter is ‘H’. Thus 8/8 stands for HH which is an abbreviation for “Heil Hitler”.
Louie Farrakhan loves this type of numerology nonsense.
