President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon expressed "respect" for the service of Sen. John McCain, who died Saturday, and signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff.
 
"Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain's service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment," Trump said in a statement released by the White House.
