Image viralized on social networks, but order from the president himself in honor of victims of shooting in the USA

Publications on social networks stated that the gesture would be a sign of mourning for the president’s death.

The measure will be in force until this Sunday (31).
Attention! The White House flag was placed in the middle tile (this happens when a president dies or when the country is in mourning)
