Is this a sign that Agent Orange is capable of shame? Or is the reason more cynical?

Because doing it even now gives him some cover with polite society Republicans. – they get to pretend he is human for a little longer.

Remember when days of the week used to have a certain feel to them? That’s all gone. It seems like I been working straight thru for 18 months with no weekends off and today is only Tuesday.

Has he tweeted yet that his initial refusal was “fake news”?

Donald Trump is and has been a violent man. Perhaps the Presidency has inflamed this part of his personality.
But just to point out, grabbing a persons genitalia obviously is an act of aggression.

Is this the first time he has referred to the “Opposition Party”? Especially rolling journalists up into the same bin?

Melania can wear her jacket to let the world know what the orange idiot really feels. Her jacket will be worn frequently.
Shamed into doing the right thing as usual.
I know one thing - any building flying at half-mast when Dotard leaves this planet will have its flag taken down and burned for it will have been desecrated.
The pathology of Trump is perverse. Yes, he is a prick, a vile classless cad … but he is also a monumental manipulator… playing the entire audience at every, every turn … you could peel 20 layers of this rancid psycho onion and not find a gram of authenticity. He is more bitchy, shallow and whiny simply for the sake of distraction and attention than all of the casts of all of the “Housewives” shows combined.
He initially avoided / declined to lower the flags … and so gave his crazy facist-racist base a warm fuzzy - just like his pandering with the comments to the effect of the press being the enemy … then he flips (but will claim he had never said no ) … and leaves an out for his people to spin it to his base that he just had to throw this crumb …but he still intends to encourage hostility toward the press.

“Last night, as soon as the President heard about the request from the Mayor…" Just another damned lie from Sarah…she’s earning every penny she’s getting paid to lie for the monster in the Oval Office. I call upon the entire White House Press Corps to start boycotting her press conferences. Why waste your time listening to fabrications and mendacity?

Trump is all about popularity and ego. We should do everything we can to make his pedestal shaky and his perception of himself the same. That’s when the little fascist backs down. He’s on precariously shaky ground the way it is with the Russian probe.
Let’s make the rest of his life miserable till he frees those children from their prisons and gets them back to their families like the liar promised a week ago. Still waiting for some show of humanity from the rest of the Republican Party and not getting it. Make all the hypocrites in this GOP Congress sweat this 4th of July.
Someone whispered in the Trumpster’s ear:
Bad optics, boss. After you labeled these people Enemies of the State.
The first decision obviously polled poorly. The Reality TV guy can’t have that!
“Laura Ingraham warns finite amount of love”
Zero sum game. The Conservative point of view. Ony so much love to spend and after the spouse and kids and maybe the dog, well that about does it. Just plumb fresh outta love.

What does it mean when you have to pull teeth to get this POS to lower the flags? It’s like forcing someone to apologize. Let’s see, MD didn’t vote for Trump. MD doesn’t get a half staff. You either love Trump or he hates you.
Fox: “US has only so much love”
A little off topic, but people studying our 30 per 100 thousand suicide rate came to a conclusion substantially close to that of Emile Durkeim in 1897. It is social, not medical or psychiatric.
Our rate is middle class and tracks with the downgrade in our social norms for caring and support of the less fortunate – almost always unemployed persons who feel tossed away like a used Dixie cup.
Durkeim said it was “anomie”-- lack of norms that make us feel connected to some larger group.
Suicidal persons feel alienated, unwanted, forgotten.

Trump is weak.
President Obama never waffled on this. He put America first.
Trump puts himself above everything. Even this simple act of leadership.
