The timing of former President Jimmy Carter's death, just weeks before Donald Trump's second inauguration, has sparked debate. Democrats are celebrating the fact that flags will be flown at half-mast during the inauguration, viewing it as a symbolic gesture against Trump.
Democrats are boasting that Jimmy Carter 's death could overshadow Donald Trump 's upcoming inauguration due to a long upheld tradition. Standard protocol states that all flags should be flown at half mast at federal buildings for 30 days following the death of a former president. Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died at 100 years old on Sunday afternoon, almost two years after entering hospice care and just 22 days before Trump's inauguration on January 20.
Outspoken MAGA critics and Democrat voters have quipped that the half mast flags during such a pivotal moment are Carter's parting gift to Trump after their longstanding feud. 'I’m so sad for this great man’s passing but this is going to p**s off the orange clown so much and I’ve convinced myself this was Jimmy’s plan the whole time,' one person wrote. Another added: 'Can't help but smile knowing flags will be at half mast during Trump's inauguration to honor Jimmy Carter, one of the most decent humans to walk the earth and the very opposite of who's to come.' 'His parting gift: US flags will be at half mast on all federal buildings on Trump’s Inauguration Day.' Supporters described the timing as a 'better, unintended consequence' of Carter's death.
