Elections US flag to be flown at half mast during inauguration for first time ever

[PBAC]

It is policy for the flag to be lowered for 30 days following the death of a US president. While unrelated to Trump the imagery alone will be striking. Of course Trump doesnt like it.

Edit: correction in the title Nixon lowered the flags to honor Lyndon b Johnson during his own second inauguration. So not only did Trump just get owned by Nixon and Carter post mortem but he self owned himself by not knowing that.

"Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years - It’s a total mess!" Trump said. "In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out."

What about the other times US presidents passed or were assasinated. Was it at half mast then at the inauguration? Not informed on the topic.

That's a pretty funny coincidence, like an FU by Carter to Trump from beyond the grave. Of course Trump is mad about it, for him its all about "me, myself, and I" so naturally anything that would detract from that is going to be a nuisance to him.

Correction, I found this. Nixon lowered them to honor lyndon b johnson during his own inauguration.

Why are US flags being flown at half-staff on Inauguration Day?

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed frustration that flags will be flying at half-staff when he takes office later this month. It's an action put in place by President Joe Biden to honor the late President Jimmy Carter, who died last month at 100. It's not a timeline that Trump can do...

Flags had also been at half-staff when Nixon was sworn in for his second term in January 1973, due to Nixon having ordered them lowered due to the death of former President Harry S. Truman.

Has Trump taken issue with lowering flags before?

Lol. Of course Dump is upset. Should just replace it with a flag of the Tesla symbol and fly it high while Musk jumps around like an assclown.

RIP Jimmy C.

Trump is the worst.

As mentioned before this is not the first time. Trump obviously doesn’t give a shit about Carter, so he's throwing a fit. The coincidence is pretty funny

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Keep electing anyone over the age of 60 and half mast poles should be expected

That was from Trumps own mouth

Although tbh i have difficulty picturing trump using the phrase "in any case" doesnt sound like him.

I want it to be true. That's the type of petty screw you that would actually make me applaud a democrat.

Hope Jimmy did the math on this before he shut down the lights .

Or for poor little Peanut. Bastards.

Is the Israel flag still at full mast though?

Learn to read you fucking dummies, he said it MAY be the first time ever, not that it was for certain.

 

[Barteh]

TDS was always pathetic but now that he's won in a landslide and you guys are still out there whining about random irrelevant shit it's gotten to absolutely terminal levels. Holy shit what a pathetic bunch of cucks.

 

[fingercuffs]

"Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it."

^Yeah that has to be a mock up.

 

[fingercuffs]

It's also mad that his being sworn in again is on MLK day when he made up a lie that his last one drew a bigger crowd than MLK's crowd.

Flippin weird, right?

 

[KnightTemplar]

Carter knew this was the only, "win" that Libtards will get in the next four years and took one for the team.

'hespect, President Peanut!
