Very shortly after being sworn into his second presidential term, President Donald Trump signed an order to ensure flags on federal government grounds will fly at full-staff on Inauguration Day.
As Trump took office, some states were flying flags at half-staff and some weren't. The issue surfaced because of the timing of the death of the late President Jimmy Carter, which prompted flags to be flown at half staff. But President Trump and others protested and demanded flags be raised for his inauguration.
