  • Trump ignores Jimmy Carter mourning period and returns flags to full height at Mar-a-Lago - Trump has expressed annoyance that flags will be at half-staff during the inauguration

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to raise the American flag back to full height at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, despite the ongoing mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter, who entered hospice care.

The article highlights the contrast between Trump's actions and the expected decorum during such times, noting that this is not the first instance where Trump has diverged from presidential norms regarding flag etiquette.
