Donald Trump, the newly elected President of America.
Washington: Newly elected President Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of America on January 20, but you will be surprised to know that the American national flag will remain at half mast during this period. This will probably be the first time in the history of America, when the national flag of that country will not be able to wave proudly during the swearing-in ceremony of a President. This order has been given by outgoing President Joe Biden, whose tenure is going to end on January 20.
Trump has been surprised and upset by this decision of Biden. Trump is frustrated that when the country’s national flag was to be hoisted proudly in the air at his swearing-in ceremony, the flags of the entire country will remain at half mast. Trump is neither able to openly oppose nor welcome this decision of Biden. But the mere thought of the national flag being flown at half mast during his swearing-in is spoiling Trump’s mood. He has expressed his frustration on this. Let us now tell you what is the whole matter?
Why will America’s national flag remain lowered during Trump’s inauguration?
When America’s newly elected President Donald Trump takes oath as the country’s 47th President on January 20, he may not be as happy as he should have been. There are two special reasons for this. The first is that even before his swearing in, the American court will sentence the adult star in the secret money case on January 10. The second is that during his swearing-in ceremony, the US national flag will be flown at half-mast across the country. The reason for this is the death of former US President Jimmy Carter on December 29. In his honor, President Joe Biden has ordered the American flag to be flown at half-mast for 30 days. In such a situation, the American national flag will remain lowered till January 28.
Trump raised the issue
President Trump will attend Jimmy Carter’s memorial service in Washington on January 9. But he raised the issue of flags flying at half mast in mourning during his swearing-in ceremony in a Truth Social post on Friday. He said our opposition Democrats are “gutted” by the possibility of our magnificent American flag flying at “half-staff” during my swearing-in ceremony. “They think it’s great and they’re very happy with it because they don’t really love our country, they only care about themselves,” Trump said. Trump said the U.S. flag “will fly at half-staff for the first time during the inauguration of a future president” due to the death of former President Carter last week. No American wants to see this, nor can they be happy with it. After Trump’s comment, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said that there is no plan to reconsider this decision. (input-agency)
