President Jimmy Carter’s mourning period will be on hold Monday, as Donald Trump gets sworn in for a second term.
And to celebrate that “patriotic occasion,” Gov. Ron DeSantis is ordering flags in the state to be lifted back up to full-staff on Inauguration Day.
“On this unique occasion where we simultaneously celebrate the service of an incoming President and commend the service of a former President, our nation’s flag will be prominently displayed at full staff,” reads the memo from the Governor.
Flags will return to half-staff Jan. 21 “to honor President Carter’s service per the ongoing Presidential Proclamation issued December 29, 2024,” the memo continues.
Other GOP leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have issued similar orders to celebrate Trump’s swearing in.
Trump bemoaned President Joe Biden’s flag order earlier this year.
“The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at “half mast” during my Inauguration. They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves. Look at what they’ve done to our once GREAT America over the past four years — It’s a total mess!” Trump said.
“In any event, because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

A prime example showing the level of infantile, petty foolishness exhibited by today’s Republican Party. Over the visual symbol of a half mast flag meant to reflect the respect due the office of the presidency and to honor someone who demonstrated decency and moral courage throughout his life- traits sorely lacking in Republican leadership, apparently. If Trump hadn’t thrown a hissy fit, you know it wouldn’t be happening..I can’t imagine anything more childish.

Relax my liberal school teacher. It’s a one day thing. Now celebrate with the majority of Americans that dumb and dumber (Joe & Kammy) will be gone.

Republicans have lost it. Absolutely disgrace and disgusting everything that they do. So much for the free state of Florida.

It’s just a one-day sign of respect for the inauguration of our 47th President. Thereafter, the flags of the U.S. and Florida will again be lowered to half-staff in order that the political left may continue to mourn the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter — a good Christian yet still a failed President — in idolatry to their false idol.

Let’s see if the Great Birther tries to hit a home run on opening day by unilaterally altering the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship!

Carter was a great President & humanitarian and a leader in the environment shame on any of you who think otherwise. READ the history on Carter before making stupid remarks Nothing surprises me from Dicktator Nazi Fascist DeSantis. Who has NEVER done a humanitarian anything another trump GREED & power over his constituents. He is an embarrassment as a so called Governor
