He either does it, and everyone will see the flags and think about the death toll, or he refuses, and everyone will know he refused, i.e. he doesn't care. A brilliant move that works for either decision. I think they are trying to make him explode in public.

He would never do something they asked for, so the request will makes him look even more out of touch with the American people.

As far as he is concerned, all these dead people just make him look bad. He could give a damn about their grieving families and loved ones. They mean nothing to him. They are only thorns in his side. Has there ever been a more despicable man in office in the history of this nation?
