Trump spokesperson won't comment on Trump ordering flags raised for inauguration [View all]

Since flag code is not federal law, Trump could, in theory, order flags to be raised for his inauguration. A spokesperson for the president-elect did not respond to a Post email Monday inquiring whether there was any discussion within the Trump camp of ordering flags raised for the occasion.

- NY Post

I won't link to the Post story as it's a whine fest for Trump. I mentioned this possibility the other day and was half kidding. I guess it may be no joke.
