One day at half staff is more than enough for Carter. This is just another one of Biden's political stunts that embarrasses our nation.

This is not a Biden thing, this is a USA thing. We do this for all former Presidents. Also, this HAS happened before, regardless of what Trump might say.

No, we should honor our past president that has passed like we have done countless many other times.

Mike Kehoe should be ashamed of himself. This is blatant partisanship. Flag protocol has nothing to do with Donald Trump's ego.

One day president-elect trump will be honored with the same lowering of the U.S. flag at half staff. Should proper flag etiquette be out the window for him? I say NO.

NO. NO. NO. FLAGS ARE TO FLY AT HALF-STAFF WHEN A PRESIDENT DIES FOR 30 DAYS!! The rules need to be followed. Shane on Kehoe that he has ordered this. It shows how far up trumps butt he plans to be…we are all in so much trouble.

Putting the flag at full staff would violate flag protocol. Trump needs to learn the meaning of respect.

Absolutely not. All former presidents are afforded the respect of half-staff flags when they pass. This had NOTHING to do with Trump. He needs to stop whining.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
