According to U.S. flag code, "all federal buildings, grounds and naval vessels" will fly at half-staff for 30 days after the death of a president

In the White House press release, the president ordered that flags be returned to half-staff in honor of the late President Carter.

Mike DeWine decided to interrupt the 30-day period set aside for flying the American flag at half-staff in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, he must have thought it was more important to display the flag at full-staff in honor of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Bush took the internet by storm during the 2025 Inauguration of President Donald Trump, where the 43rd president seemed to have a playful moment during the proceedings. Probably the only reasonable response to such a speech.
