It’s an action put in place by President Joe Biden to honor the late President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at 100. It’s not a timeline that Trump can do anything about — until after he takes office.
Here’s what to know about why flags are lowered when a president dies, who can issue that order and how long the process lasts:
Because the tradition and protocol indicates that when a former president dies, flags are lowered to half staff.
Dumbass Trump doesn't like it because it's not about him.
I hope Carter's ghost brings bitter, freezing rain that lasts the whole of inauguration day.
I hope it's a beautiful day. Clear blue skies. Mild temperatures. Lots of big expensive smiles on display. And then when it starts raining RPGs everyone gets mad at the weatherman for getting the forecast wrong and ruining an innocent stage packed with perfectly awful alleged humans.

I can't wait for the flags to be half staff because of him.
Half staff is all he can reach anyway, even with assistance
I'll got fireworks ready and a flag set to go full mast

And some of us will love to pretend that it IS about him, one last act of defiance by a dying democracy towards the people about to murder it.
Yeah. The rule is for people who respect our country and aren't actively engaged in treason against it. Trump is incapable of comprehending it.
What a little bitch baby. It's like a kid that goes to a birthday party and throws a temper tantrum because everyone is paying attention to the other kid.
"It's not like anyone liked Jimmy Carter anyway," muttered Trump, as he walked home, his head lowered and kicking a can down the road.
Of course, Carter aside, I’d certainly say Trump taking office again is half-mast worthy, being a national tragedy.
He could make a big show of it. Pretend to honour carter and the institution etc
But no, just like Covid, he prefers an own goal
So dumpty trumpty will just override that at the White House and all this is, is a bunch of bitching about Biden. What a whiny little fuck. Streisand Effect: Since it pisses him off, we as citizens can fly our own flags at half mast and he can't do a damn thing about it. Don't turn them upside down though because the maga nazis do that to support the orange cancer.
“I’m the only thing that matters.” -Trump
If Trump wasn't an egotistical shithead he would use this to his advantage.
Because sense and decorum are dead
why are they not at half mast for the terrorist attack that just happened in New Orleans?
Carter is a war criminal. Those people in NO were innocent.
