Carter, the 39th U.S. president, died on Sunday at 100 years old. President Joe Biden ordered that the flags of the United States be flown at half-staff at the White House and public buildings and grounds for a period of 30 days following Carter’s death in honor of him.

“Because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast,” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social. “Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

President-elect Donald Trump slammed Democrats he said were "giddy;' over US flags being at half-staff during his inauguration for Jimmy Carter.

President-elect Donald Trump complained on Friday that American flags would still be lowered to half-staff in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter during Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration. President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered to half-staff for 30 days from the day of Carter's death on Dec.

President-elect Donald Trump is not happy that American flags will fly at half-mast to honor the late President Jimmy Carter during his inauguration. In a post to Truth Social on Friday afternoon, Trump expressed his frustration with the symbol of mourning during his second inauguration on January 20 and accused Democrats of being gleeful about the optics of the coinciding commemoration.

Donald Trump said Friday "no American can be happy" that flags will be at half-mast when he is inaugurated this month, claiming Democrats were delighted about the downbeat optics.
