Flags at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club have been raised to full height, going against directives to fly them at half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter.
U.S. flags at former President Donald Trump 's private Mar-a-Lago club have been raised to full height, despite directives to fly them at half-staff through January 28th as a mark of respect for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on December 29th. Flags across the nation were initially lowered to half-staff according to protocol following Carter's death. Both President Biden and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued orders for U.S.
flags to remain at half-staff for 30 days from the date of Carter's passing. This period extends through January 28th. While Trump paid his respects at Carter's casket as it lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda and attended his state funeral service in Washington last week, he had previously expressed displeasure at the prospect of flags being at half-staff on January 20th, the day he is scheduled to take the oath of office for his second term. During his presidential campaign, Trump frequently criticized Carter, but issued a statement praising the 39th president after his death at the age of 100. A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to an email request for comment on Monday regarding the raised flags at Mar-a-Lago.
