Trump threatens to undo flags flying half mast for his inauguration

Will one of DL's lawyers opine on the legality of this proposed course of action?

January 20, 2025 will definitely be a Day of Mourning for the United States of America.

Yes, R2. And we will be in mourning whether or not the flags are flown at half mast. Trump's attempts to steal honor from Jimmy Carter will be remembered as just one more low point in his swampy history of disgrace, corruption, and crime.

Flags should be flying at half mast BECAUSE he's being inaugurated.

What, that asshole is going to go around and raise every fucking flag in the entire country?

How will that piece of shit know? There will be people who refuse to do it.

I curse the day that asshole was born.

Until he is inaugurated, he won't have the power/authority to make the change. What's he going to do? Cue the flag to be raised the minute he takes the oath of office??

R4 Betsy, you should know by now that "mast" refers to flags flown on a ship; staff is a flag pole.

Find a real source, OP.

How about Reuters? That good enough for you?

He is and always was a cunt

We just have to flood the internet with Vairst Lady's nudie pics the day of the inauguration. That'll get some masts unhalved.

Petty little weasel.

R9, nowhere in your source does it say that Trump is going to undo the half-mast.

It just says he's not happy about it.

Histrionic OP as usual.

Trump is doing his "We'll see" horseshit. Meet me back here in a few weeks

Whiny little titty baby

When he dies, lets make sure flags don't fly half mast.

Of course OP is lying.

When trump dies flags will wave, bells with ring out, and fireworks will fill the skies!

R12, how is OP lying? From the anus' anus mouth

R19, nowhere in that post does he say he will 'undo flags flying at half mast'

"Let's see how it plays out"

Half mast or half staff? Isn’t a mast on a boat?

I saw it somewhere on Twitter. 😛

Half staff.

r14 = Susan Collins

And when his inauguration crowd size sucks he’ll blame it on the flags being at half-mast. Fun times,

How come this guy isn't dead from a stroke? He's always angry about something. His blood pressure must be through the roof.

It’s silly to have the flags at half mast that long for anyone. A week would be more than respectable. The rules need to be reformed.

I assure you the Skull and Crossbones will be flying proudly over the White House, at full-mast!

What'd I ever do to you?!

On November 30, 2018, George H. W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States, died from vascular Parkinson's syndrome at his home in Houston, Texas. Bush was the first former U.S. president to die in nearly 12 years since Gerald Ford in late 2006.

Shortly after news broke of Bush's death, President Donald Trump declared a national day of mourning and ordered all flags "throughout the United States and its territories and possessions" lowered to half staff for 30 days after his death.

I picture Dotard stomping around like Dawn Davenport on Xmas .

Don't forget that Jan 20th is also MLK Day and there's a function in DC for that. I hope that Trump gets little attention.

Well, he signed the standard declaration that was written for him. I'm sure at the time he didn't put any thought or consideration of his own on what would make sense in the 21st century.

He'll once again put his hand on the bible to take the oath and lie. Maybe lightning will zap him this time.

Who is on diaper change duty these days? I think Hope Hicks left, so who does it? Steven Miller?

R32 The word consideration and Trump should never be together in a sentence.

It would be perfect karma for Trump to suffer a debilitating stroke and is left unable to speak and in a wheelchair. He would have to resign and unable to serve a full second term.

Flags aren't flown at half-staff for that.

THAT'S what I'm talking about!

God, has a pettier little bitch ever walked this earth?

No former Presidents or overseas dignitaries at his funeral. A thin trickle at best of red-capped deplorables at his lying in state. Obituaries which struggle to find anything half-way good to say. A time to anticipate with relish.

I think about when the spirit showed Scrooge the men discussing his funeral and one of them saying they will only go if lunch is provided to compensate for the time they’ll waste. Trump’s funeral planners should include a huge lunch.

^ Big Macs and chocolate shakes will be served at Dump's funeral.

He truly is unhinged this time around. He’s clearly failing mentally.

Imagine what they’d be saying about Biden if he talked half the shit Trump does on a daily basis.

r43 I really wonder if the GOP will find a way to force him out of office.

They adore him. An unhinged leader for an unhinged party.

They won't force him out R44. If they did the MAGAt cult would turn on them with pitchforks. This will have to play out, unfortunately.
