The inauguration of President-elect Donald J. Trump is poised to be eclipsed by a solemn national tradition, much to the delight of left-leaning Americans.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, former President Jimmy Carter, aged 100, passed away at his Georgia residence on Sunday. He had been under hospice care for about a year, surrounded by family at the time of his passing.
In accordance with the flag code, this event prompts the lowering of flags to half-mast at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels for a period of 30 days. This gesture of a U.S. flag at half-staff symbolizes a nation in mourning. The flags are projected to remain in this position until January 28, 2025, as per People Magazine. Consequently, this mournful sight may be witnessed by millions during Trump's inauguration on January 20.
Left-leaning individuals, disheartened by their recent defeat to the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president, are now seizing this occasion to celebrate what they perceive as 'karma', rather than exhibiting typical decorum.
In stark contrast to these reactions, Trump offered a heartfelt response to Carter's passing, despite their political differences. This serves as a clear demonstration of dignity versus indecency.
Upon hearing the news of Carter's passing, Trump shared on Truth Social, "I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History."
He further acknowledged the challenges Carter faced during his presidency, stating, "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude."
In a final note of compassion, Trump added, "Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers."
