🚨NEW: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has ordered all flags to be raised to full-staff at the U.S. Capitol due to Trump's inauguration

Trump is, once again, proving how petty and selfish he can be and Johnson is proving how he kowtows to Trump.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is going to order that the flags at the Capitol, which are at half-staff due to the death of former President Jimmy Carter, be raised for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration -- defying a White House proclamation.

Leaving a GOP press conference Tuesday morning, Johnson nodded his head when asked if he would be raising the flags next week. He later confirmed his decision in a post on X.

"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump. The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter," Johnson posted...

....The U.S. Code, written by Congress, says that the American flag "shall be flown" at half-staff for 30 days upon the death of a president or former president.


Trump has publicly fumed about the flags possibly not being raised.
