15. I keep remembering how he complained about having to take his oath of office with the flags at half-staff

Remember how he got bent out of shape because his inauguration was going to occur during the period when the flags were still going to be at half-staff in honor of Jimmy Carter?

He didn't have any personal animus toward Carter and was just pouting because he thought the flags would detract from "his" day, but he's got a HUGE grudge against Biden for beating him in 2020. I shudder to think how he'd behave if he's in office when Joe dies!
