AND THEN RETURNING TO “HALF MAST” UNTIL JANUARY 29TH.

TRUMP POSTED ON TRUTH SOCIAL –

“The Democrats are all “giddy” about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at “half mast” during my Inauguration. They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country…Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it.”

NEWSOM’S OFFICE CONFIRMED FLAGS WILL BE RAISED TO FULL HEIGHT ON MONDAY –

THE FIRST DEMOCRAT-LED STATE TO MAKE THE MOVE.
