The swearing-in day of US President-elect Donald Trump is approaching, but before that, a decision of outgoing President Joe Biden has created controversy. Biden has declared a national day of mourning after the death of former President Jimmy Carter, under which the American flag will remain at half mast for a month. This time will also include Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
Trump’s anger
Donald Trump expressed his displeasure over this decision on the social media platform “Truth”. He called it a “move by the Democrats” and said that the Democrats are happy with the decision as it may impact their swearing-in ceremony. Trump wrote, “Democrats do not love our country, they only think about themselves. Look at what he has done to America in the last four years. “Nobody will like the flag being flown at half mast.”
Biden’s order
Joe Biden has ordered the national flag to be flown at half-mast for a month in memory of former President Jimmy Carter. This is the first time that the flag will fly at half-mast during the swearing-in of a President. This decision has deepened the already existing sourness between Trump and Biden.
Trump congratulates Mike Johnson
Donald Trump congratulated the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, on his re-election. “Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on receiving an unprecedented vote of confidence,” he wrote on Truth Social.
He expressed confidence in Johnson’s leadership, saying that he would prove to be a great speaker and that America would benefit from his selection.
