“Because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the flag could, for the first time in history during the inauguration of a future president, be at half-mast. No one wants to see that, and no American can be happy about it. » Throughout his political career, Donald Trump has continued to criticize former President Jimmy Carter, going so far as to complain about the establishment of a 30-day mourning period after his death, depriving him of seeing the flag American float on January 20.

However, by paying tribute to him at the time of his death, Donald Trump claimed to have “eternal gratitude” for the former president. Showing his “deep respect”, the Republican assured: “Although I strongly disagree with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our country, and everything it represents “. It was therefore natural that the future president and his wife, Melania Trump, went to honor Jimmy Carter’s coffin under the Capitol on Wednesday January 8.
