American Flags to Fly at Half-Mast During Trump’s Inauguration as Overjoyed Leftists Gloat
President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration may get overshadowed thanks to a long-standing tradition following a current or former president’s death, and left-wing Americans are overjoyed.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, former President Jimmy Carter passed away in his Georgia home on Sunday at 100 years old. He had been in hospice care for approximately a year and was surrounded by family when he passed.
Because of this, the flags at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels will be flying at half-mast for 30 days according to the flag code. A U.S. flag flying at half-staff shows a nation in mourning.
The flags are expected to remain that way until Jan. 28, 2025, according to People Magazine. Because Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, this sorrowful sight may be visible to millions of viewers.
Leftists who have been demoralized over their latest crushing loss to the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president now see an opportunity to celebrate this turn of events as a form of ‘karma’ rather than act like normal individuals.
Below are some of the worst offenders:
Flag protocol requires all flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days after the passing of a president. This means flags will be at half-mast for Trump’s inauguration.

Flags will be at half mast for the inauguration…I’m so sad for this great man’s passing but this is going to piss off the orange clown so much and I’ve convinced myself this was Jimmy’s plan the whole time #Inauguration #JimmyCarterRIP #InaugurationDay

These sick replies stand in stark contrast to the poignant response offered by Trump following Carter’s passing despite their political differences. This is a classic example of class versus crass.
“I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.”
“The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,”
he added. “For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.”
“Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.”
