Donold Loses It Over Flags At Half-Staff On His Inauguration Day "The final gift to America from Jimmy Carter.

[Historic NY]

As I wrote this week, Jimmy Carter passed at the perfect time to send one last middle finger to Donold. By tradition, flags are lowered for 30 days after a president dies. Sure, it might not be an ideal situation for him, but honestly, who gives a shit? Any adult could handle this minor inconvenience. or use it to honor him. But Donold? Nope. Of course not. He is pure evil. He doesn’t want to be compared to Jimmy.

1. And he's stupid about it even while he's totally self-centered

He could easily turn it around to his advantage. Just claim the flag at half-mast is because America wasn't great under democrats. then when the 30 days are up, hold another ceremony to celebrate flying the flag high, and claim he's already made America great again in a matter of days.

Simple, because Republican logic and symbolism is simplistic and they can make baseless claims all day long and reappropriate symbols to suit themselves.

But no, Donnie's gotta whine and complain because not every moment is about him and the above solution would require planning and forethought.

2. I took this as......

It isn't "ALL" about Trump. It that damn extreme narcissistic tendency of his. I just has to be all about him.

And then there is, of course, the disrespect part. Very typical of Mr Shitzinpants.

Very sick.

President-elect Donald Trump railed against the order for American flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the late President Jimmy Carter, complaining that they will be in that position “for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President.”

“Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday, and baselessly accused Democrats of being “giddy” that flags will be at half-staff during his inauguration.

Flying flags at half-staff to honor a late political figure or commemorate an occasion is a tradition that transcends political ideology. Flags are traditionally lowered for 30 days to mourn the death of a current or former U.S. president.

Under President Joe Biden’s proclamation, flags will be at half-staff until a week after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Since ordering the flags lowered is a proclamation that a sitting president makes, Trump won’t be able to do anything about it until after he is inaugurated.....

Memorably, Trump has taken issue with flags flying at half-staff to honor a late politician in the past. In 2018, just two days after Sen. John McCain’s death, Trump had the White House flag raised to full-staff, prompting fierce criticism from Republicans, Democrats and veteran groups. Trump, whose relationship with McCain was infamously strained, eventually relented and ordered the flag to be lowered again.

Trump was not invited to McCain’s funeral, and months later complained that he “didn’t get a thank you” for giving the Arizona Republican “the kind of funeral he wanted.”
