Trump fumes over flag flying at half-staff to honor Jimmy Carter during inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump lashed out Friday over plans for the U.S. flag to be flown at half-staff during his upcoming inauguration to honor the late President Jimmy Carter ‒ but the White House said it isn't reconsidering the order.

U.S. flags have been flying at half-staff at all federal properties including the Capitol since Dec. 29, when President Joe Biden ordered the measure of respect following Carter's death for 30 days the prescribed federal timeframe for lowering flags after a president's death since 1954.

Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president on Jan. 20, which falls within the 30-day window.

"The Democrats are all 'giddy' about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at 'half mast' during my Inauguration," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, incorrectly using the term that refers to flags being flown halfway up the mast on a ship at sea, not a flag pole. "They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves." :palm:


Any money bets that Trump will order it to full staff when he rolls into the WH? Minus Melania, of course. Too bad he pissed off Lips Loomer, otherwise he could have celebrated a bit the night of the 20th.
 
We all know what you are, Dutch Uncle.

We reject you!

Go crawl back under a rock!

Why would I run from pussified cowards who are compelled to use plural personal pronouns to bolster their lame and weak posts?

Are you a crippled old man, Kur? Did your kids even call you on Christmas? Did they send you some socks, a card and then go to your ex?

We ... just won the 2024 election, nation wide, with House, Senate, Presidential Popular Vote, and Presidential Electoral Vote.

I have been mobility impaired by the Covid Vaccine Bio-Weapon. So I studied the subject, at a PhD Medical Journal Level, and found the medications and procedures needed to over come the damage brought on by the Bio-Weapon that was the Covid mRNA Vaccine. Yes, the Vaccine was the bio-weapon, the Covid Virus was just a pretext to force Americans to line up and accept the attack. Never again.

My kids spent both Christmas and New Years with my wife and I, opening presents that this year, I could afford, due to my skills in repairing Robots and Machinery. One of the Presents I gave to my five grand kids was a Nerf Howler Finned Football, which we will add to the five others that we own. We use them to play catch at the local park, but also out in Mesa, in games were we go out at night, and hunt each other, in mock hunting rituals. In this, I am no longer as mobile as I used to be, due to the Morton's Nephropathy, from the Vile, Biden-Mandated-Bio-Weapon Vaccine. But I am still clever, alert, keen of senses, and twice the desert-man as my grand-kids, who are learning Desert-Craft from me. Not wood-craft, we are New Mexicans.


As a New Mexican "Country Boy", I can find water in the desert, and make it from cactus. I can find food, sometimes with an Alpine Trout Line, but also from eating snakes, rabbits, burrowing bird eggs, Nutcrackers, and Jays.

Oh, it is not the same, as a country boy in Alabama. It is about Desert Life; water, living off the land in desert communities, and knowing the local culture and people. I am not an Alabama Country Boy, I am a New Mexico Desert Country Boy. I have gone native, and I am proud of it.

I speak enough Spanglish to talk with the people crossing the border, and the local Hispanic People, who I have joined in community, by my marriage to one of their more noble Hispanic families. I am seen as one of them. A proud member of the Hispanic, New Mexican community. I might be Anglo in skin-tone, but I am New Mexican by culture and choice!

I am not "Poor" now, repairing robots, high power industrial lasers, and other high tech machinery, including prime power transmission lines, I earn 2.5 X the New Mexico average income. But I have been poor, in various eras of my long life, I know how to live off the desert, how to find water, and purify it, and live off what the desert provides!

I am not poor, but I understand and am connected to the locals who are still poor, and we work together!

I accept and aid those immigrants who really are just seeking a better life, but I reject and assist in deporting those who are criminals, addicts, the criminally insane, and never-work moochers.

I am the sneering, terrified, Lefties worst nightmare, a Skilled, Respected, Culturally-Merged, Desert Survival Able, Multi-Cultural, New Mexican!

See, Kur? That's part of what I'm referencing. You are heavily partisan and seek to destroy, if not outright murder, those Americans who disagree with you. Your paranoia has driven you into a "Us vs. Them" POV whereas normal people, such as myself, see the United States as just "us". Americans. E Pluribus Unum.

Thanks for the rant and fantasy. It's very revealing about your mindset and, if those around you know your views, then a huge Red Flag that you are not well.

Another example of your paranoia. You are extremely far Right and believe that anyone to the left of you is a Democrat. This is delusional on your part, Kur.

I've never voted for a Democrat either. I voted Republican for 38 years and only stopped when, to paraphrase my favorite president, Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party left me. I didn't leave the Republican Party. I've voted straight Libertarian ever since.

Sadly the Republican Party doesn't even exist anymore. It was taken over by the Party of Trump and, now, taken over by an oligarchy, the Party of DOGE. TBH, I find this last change very funny and, in hindsight, foreseeable. Trump has always been a mammon-worshiper. While the Democrats were screaming he wanted to become Hitler, his real plan was simply to become as rich as possible and saw the opportunity to do so in US politics and filling his pockets with taxpayer money. Yours and mine.

If you're a progressive, then I don’t know what that is. I must be a rightwing extremist.
We live in a world where the illiberal WOKE Death Cult are called liberals....so your confusion of what is a Progressive is understandable....the brainwashing has been extensive.
