Trump Frustrated by Flags at Half-Staff for Carter During Inauguration, Biden's Order Stands
Jan 3, 2025, 10:53 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed frustration over the decision to fly U.S. flags at half-staff during his upcoming inauguration on January 20, due to the recent death of former President Jimmy Carter. President Joe Biden ordered the flags to be lowered for 30 days following Carter's death on December 29, in accordance with federal protocol established since 1954. Trump criticized Democrats, suggesting they were 'giddy' about the flag being at half-staff during his inauguration, implying it reflected poorly on their patriotism. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that the administration would not reconsider the flag order. Trump's inauguration will occur within the 30-day mourning period, meaning the flags will remain at half-staff during the ceremony.
