Texas governor abandons federal code to lift flag for Trump
SHARE

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas introduced on Monday that he’s ordering flags to be flown full-staff on Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day, a blatant disregard of federal code that claims flags needs to be flown half-staff for 30 days after a present or former president dies.

Adhering to flag code, President Joe Biden ordered the flags to be flown half-staff on Dec. 29, the day former President Jimmy Carter died on the age of 100. Meaning the flags needs to be lowered throughout Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

However Trump has whined about the truth that flags will likely be lowered when he places his hand on the Bible and takes the oath of workplace—probably together with his fingers on his different hand crossed behind his again. 

“The Democrats are all ‘giddy’ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at ‘half mast’ during my Inauguration,” Trump moaned on Fact Social on Jan. 3, incorrectly utilizing the “half mast” time period, which applies to flags on ships. “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. … Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let’s see how it plays out. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”


The flag flies at half-staff for the late President Jimmy Carter on the White Home on Dec. 29, 2024.

In that assertion, the “nobody” Trump is referring to is probably going himself, because the narcissist in chief can’t deal with not being the focus.

And now Abbott is appeasing his Pricey Chief Trump by elevating the flags in Texas on inauguration day. 

“On January 20, our great nation will celebrate our democratic tradition of transferring power to a new President by inaugurating the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. As we unite our country and usher in this new era of leadership, I ordered all flags to be raised to full-staff at the Texas Capitol and all state buildings for the inauguration of President Trump,” Abbott mentioned in a press release. “While we honor the service of a former President, we must also celebrate the service of an incoming President and the bright future ahead for the United States of America.”

Within the announcement about his resolution, Abbott cited part of flag code that mentioned flags needs to be “displayed on all days,” together with Inauguration Day. However flying a flag half-staff remains to be displaying the flag, so there’s no want to lift it absolutely and ignore Biden’s proclamation.

There’s additionally precedent for flags being flown half-staff throughout an inauguration.

In 1973, Richard Nixon was sworn in with the flags half-staff following the loss of life of former President Harry S. Truman.

By elevating the flags when Trump is sworn in, Abbott is simply making an attempt to stay within the good graces of his buddy Donald. We’ll see if different GOP governors comply with swimsuit.
