https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/white-house-flag-back-full-staff-less-48-hours-john-mccains-death/he White House broke protocol Monday morning by returning the American flag to full staff before the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was buried.
The flag was flown at half-staff to mark the passing Saturday of the 81-year-old McCain after a battle with brain cancer, but was flying high the following day.

Many places don't. It's possible this means the flag was at half-mast just one day. During most of which, Trump was off golfing in Virginia. Basically, it seems like he won't have it at half-mast while he's there.
(looked it up - they do fly it in the night)
