8. MSNBC contributor claims Trump gives nod to white nationalist by lowering Americans flags at half-staff until Aug. 8

MSNBC national security contributor Frank Figliuzzi claimed that the president was sending a message to white nationalists in the United States by ordering American flags to be flown at half-staff until Aug. 8. Trump made the decision to lower the flags to honor the victims of mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, in early August. Figliuzzi asserted that because the flags were lowered until the eighth day of the eighth month, such a move symbolized the number 88, which has significance in white nationalist ideology because it corresponds to the phrase “Heil Hitler.”
