Trump Criticizes Democrats Over Half-Staff Flags at Inauguration Due to Carter's Death; Biden's Order Stands
Jan 3, 2025, 08:13 PM
President-elect Donald Trump expressed frustration over the American flag being flown at half-staff during his upcoming inauguration on January 20, due to the death of former President Jimmy Carter. Trump criticized Democrats for being 'giddy' about the situation, suggesting they do not love the country. He stated on Truth Social that 'nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it.' The flags were ordered to be flown at half-staff for 30 days by President Joe Biden following Carter's death on December 29, a standard practice for mourning a former president. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the flag order would not be reconsidered.
