It is so fitting, tho.
> President-elect Donald Trump complained on Friday that American flags would still be lowered to half-staff in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter during Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
> President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff for 30 days from the day of Carter’s death on Dec. 29, as is custom when a U.S. president dies.
> Trump, who has announced plans to attend Carter’s memorial service in Washington on Jan. 9, took issue in a Truth Social post on Friday with the flags remaining in the mourning position during his swearing-in ceremony.
> “The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration,” Trump said, employing a term frequently used for the lowered position when the flag is on a ship.
“They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,” Trump said.
> Trump said that due to Carter’s death last week the American flag would “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,” he said.
> **White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House had no plans to reconsider the decision.**
Keep the flags at half-staff for the duration of his vice presidency, in remembrance of the country he’s destroying.
> they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves
If you gave this type of dialogue to a character in a movie, everyone would complain that it’s too on the nose.
Flags shouldn’t be lowered when he dies then.
The final gift to America from Jimmy Carter.
He’s a senior citizen and he’s throwing a tantrum over the policy like he’s 7. Everything has to be about “me,me,me”.
Fuck Trump. I think it’s obscene his swearing in is on MLK day. Trump should be in prison.
He has to be the most thinnest skin person alive.
What a whiny little snowflake, jfc.
What a whiner.
Womp. Womp.
and he invited himself to the funeral.
You all know he will order the flags back to full the afternoon of the 20th just because.
Don’t worry about the flag, and pay E Jean Carroll!
>”They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,” Trump said.
If despising Trump means that I don’t love our country then…yes. He’s right.
– flag is lowered as has been American tradition
– complains about the flag being lowered on his special baby boy day
– says it’s OTHER people who don’t care about America and think only of themselves
I know there’s no ‘gotcha’ moments because those only work on people who are capable of caring, but damn. You can’t write hypocrisy this blatant. No one would believe it.
trump’s whine cellar has unlimited capacity.
With any luck there will be a gigantic snowstorm that shuts down dc.
I don’t give an expletive what he does or doesn’t like. When he dies I hope he gets the same disrespect he’s giving.
Good, get bent loser

Ffs Trump, for once in your life, don’t make it all about YOU.
> “Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out,” he said.
So let’s dishonor the practice of honoring our dead presidents so YOU can feel better at your inauguration.
It sounds a hell of a lot more like Trump doesn’t love America, and only loves himself. Scratch that, Trump is incapable of even loving himself, if he did, he wouldn’t be so damn insecure.
And make no mistake, this isn’t about a flag, it’s just another opportunity Trump saw to complain to his supporters about how he’s, yet again, the victim.
What a selfish douche bag.
This is what my fellow citizens voted for. Jfc.
Jimmy Carter really has a great sense of humor 🤭
I look forward to seeing all the flags flown at the very tiptop of the poles on the day this clown kicks off.
I might get a flag and pole in storage just for that day.
In a working legal system the guy would be in jail not becoming president. This guy never stops complaining.
Cry about it bitch.
Half of the USA was disgusted when t***p sexually assaulted the flag at CPAC 2020
No matter what, it is ALWAYS about him.
>“They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,” Trump said.
The irony is simply shocking.
The flags were lowered for 30 days from Jimmy Carter’s death, as is customary for when a former U.S. president dies.
The flags will be at half-staff from Dec 29th until Jan 28th. Meaning that the flags will still be at half-staff during Trump’s Jan 20th inauguration.
As is (also) customary, Trump is taking this as a personal attack, blaming everyone else, and is throwing a tantrum on the internet.
From the OP:
> President-elect Donald Trump complained on Friday that American flags would still be lowered to half-staff in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter during Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
> President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff for 30 days from the day of Carter’s death on Dec. 29, as is custom when a U.S. president dies.
I will fly an American flag at full staff when Trump dies.
Should be upside down to indicate distress
Good ol’ Jimmy knew what he was doing.
It took him this long to figure it out. This was in the news the day after Carter died.
What a whiny little bitch
They should be for 4 years.
He could always just not go.
“‘They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves,’ Trump said.”
Irony is dead.
How fitting. Our flags at half staff for the inauguration 10 days after our new President is sentenced on dozens of felony charges.
Clearly a brazenly partisan move on the part of Jimmy Carter, dying weeks before the event to steal the limelight from Trump. What a showboat that guy is.
