Trump flies US flag at full height before end of 30-day mourning period following Carter’s death

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — U.S. flags at President-elect Donald Trump ‘s private Mar-a-Lago club are back to flying at full height.

Flags are supposed to fly at half-staff through the end of January out of respect for former President Jimmy Carter, who died on Dec. 29. A large flag on Trump’s property in Palm Beach was initially lowered to half-staff according to protocol but has since been raised in the days after Carter was buried Thursday in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Both President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, directed that U.S. flags be flown at half-staff for 30 days from the date of Carter’s death — or through Jan. 28.

Trump has expressed annoyance that flags will be at half-staff on Jan. 20 when he takes the oath of office for his second term. During the presidential campaign, the Republican repeatedly criticized Carter, a Democrat, but offered praise for the 39th president in a statement after his death at the age of 100.

Separately on Monday, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered that flags at all state buildings be flown at full-staff on Inauguration Day.

Other red states will follow suit

[2naSalit]

1. If I...

Said what I am thinking...

[dalton99a]

5. +1. No flags should be lowered when he croaks

and throw his carcass in a landfill

[2naSalit]

9. Yeah, yeah...

Something like that!

[madinmaryland]

18. Why would you want to disrespect a landfill like that?

[BOSSHOG]

51. Maybe slip his Body

Into a Louisiana Bayou in August. The Gators are active in the hot summer. But I guess that would be cruel to them. They’d spit him out.

[Turbineguy]

2. We could be flying it half-staff for him soon.

[gopiscrap]

14. one can only hope

[William Seger]

37. As I said before, if they fly it at half-staff for him for a YEAR...

... every time I see one, a little song will play in my heart.

[thinkingagain]

3. U S Flag code means nothing

To him and other repubs

So sad

[Dave Bowman]

10. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's using the flag as a diaper.

[Melon]

31. I thought US flag code was only federal buildings?

He’s garbage but is this made up outrageous? I’ve seen other private flags flying normal.

[thinkingagain]

42. For sure Federal

If I understand it correctly, what I’m reading. I am definitely no expert.

I don’t think they would pay attention to a private citizen, but as trump is an elected official he should follow the federal guidelines out of respect.
I also don’t think a governor of a state has the right to go against the president, declaring the mast. Like Abbot is doing

“The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval
vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death
of the president or a former president. It is to fly 10 days at half-staff after the death of
the vice president, the chief justice or a retired chief justice of the United States
Supreme Court, or the speaker of the House of Representatives. For an associate
justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Cabinet, a former vice president, the
president pro tempore of the Senate, the majority leader of the Senate, the minority
leader of the Senate, the majority leader of the House of Representatives, or the
minority leader of the House of Representatives the flag is to be displayed at half-staff
from the day of death until interment.

52. What you posted states

federal property, so while governors should follow it, they are under no obligation to do so .

[Melon]

60. Agreed. It's federal property only.

[William Seger]

They're supposed to be tradition preservationists, but they treat tradition like they do the Bible and the Constitution: They just ignore the parts they don't like.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

He ought to be grateful that voters were dumb enough to re-elect him.

[Beartracks]

There is no norm or moral or ethic he won't violate.

[Jack Valentino]

56. The Article is in ERROR--- Trump isn't flying the U.S. Flag---

he's flying the Nazi, Soviet and Confederate flags!

[RockRaven]

57. Cons/MAGAts don't give a shit about the Flag Code. Never have and never will.

Just remember this (amongst others) to throw it in their face any time they whinge about others disrespecting the flag or the Convicted POTUS.

[Hope22]

T does not have an ounce of respect in his body! None of them do!
