An honest replacement is "Frank Figilluzi - Trump Ignorant; Neo-Nazis will see half mast flag as tribute to Hitler"
Your desire to ensure that specific pieces of information be in the title doesn't mean you can make it lie about what he actually said.
Seriously, this isn't that hard - the thread title is an out-and-out lie.

That's part of the problem. It means a lot to the neo-Nazis. And the neo-Nazis are already claiming that Trump is sending them secret signals of support that normal people won't understand.

And of course those on the left take that as an accurate statement of fact and run with it......

Both of my suggestions were honest, they just don't fit within the title box.
How about:
Figliuzzi: Trump's Flag Decision Displays His Ignorance
Figliuzzi : Trump Appears Ignorant of Significance of 8/8 to White Supremecists

Of course, I see that now. Better to think the president stupid than to think he is a racist.....that's much better
It's not necessarily an either/or.

No. Seriously, you're attempting to spin this as if Figliuzzi didn't make the statement he made. It would seem your real beef should be with Figliuzzi for saying something really stupid. My guess, judging from the way his eyes looked in the video I wouldn't be surprised if Figliuzzi is an absolute conspiracy nut. I'm not implying that he is of course but Obama is on record calling white supremacy the greatest terror threat this country faces. That Figliuzzi relates the flag being at half-mast with neo-Nazis is telling.

Seriously, your thread title is a lie.
The characterization of Figliuzzi's statement in the thread title is a lie.

Obama's FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Says Trump Must Use Care in Addressing Neo-Nazism
"I'll give you an example ... it’s the little things and the language and messaging that matters."
I know Ann Coulter focused on the ten seconds that upset her, but the full 5 minute interview is quite reasonable.

No. YOU are spinning this as Figliuzzi said something that he did not say. Your title states that he says the flags are at half staff to honor Hitler. He did NOT say that. It's pretty clear he did not say that.
He said that the Neo-Nazis will see significance of the date "8/8" and Trump is ignorant of that.
As I mentioned earlier, I think his position is a stretch, but let's not out and out lie about what he said.

Then it's on you to find a way to title the thread without lying about what was said. Wanting to cast someone in a particular light isn't an excuse to lie about what they said.

LOL ... yes ... Figliuzzi even said he wasn't implying what he seemed to be implying.
I still think the simple question mark at the end captures the essence of the nuttiness of Figliuzzi's comments, and will go with that unless someone offers a more compelling title within the next few minutes.

No, Figliuzzi is saying that Trump's advisors should help make sure the President does not make ambivalent statements that neo-Nazis will latch onto.

This isn't about being perfect. You've been shown how your title is dishonest, yet refuse to change it.
