President-elect Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Friday to complain that the American flag will be flown at half-staff for his inauguration due to the period of mourning for the recently deceased former President Jimmy Carter.

      I agree with the sentiment, but the flag should always be at half mass when a president dies. I don’t care if we elect a literal turkey to the presidency. When that turkey dies, we lower the flags to half mast. It’s a shame that Donald Trump doesn’t see and understand that. Honoring the dead is important.
