Honoring Trump: Speaker Johnson says flags to fly full-staff at US Capitol during presidential inauguration

"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump. The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter," Johnson said in a statement.

According to the U.S. flag code, U.S. flags are flown at half-staff for a 30-day period to mark the passing of a current or former president, at federal government buildings, military installations and vessels and at U.S. embassies and other facilities around the world.

"Nobody wants to see this," Trump argued. "No American can be happy about it. Let's see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The U.S. flag code is not mandatory, which means that Trump could technically override it once he is inaugurated as president.

The Associated Press observed that a flag at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, was flying at full height on Monday.

The flag had been flying at half-staff but was raised in the days after Carter's funeral service at National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and burial in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, both of which took place on Thursday.
