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.

        Why honour the dishonourable?

          Just because Donald Trump doesn’t understand how to properly honor the dead doesn’t mean that we don’t honor him. That’s part of us living in an honorable society.
