U.S. flags at President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club have been raised to full height, defying a national protocol for half-staff mourning after Jimmy Carter's death. Biden and DeSantis called for flags to remain at half-staff until January 28, but Texas Governor Abbott directed flags at full height on January 20 for Trump’s inauguration. This decision has sparked mixed reactions online. Trump criticized the half-staff order for overshadowing his inauguration, noting it would be the first time flags would be at half-staff during such an event, although similar occurrences happened in the past.
