Jason Carter says it didn’t bother him that U.S. flags were raised for President Donald Trump‘s inauguration after they were lowered in honor of his late grandfather, former President Jimmy Carter. Trump’s move to raise the flags was unusual and went against the customs honoring recently deceased former presidents.

After Michelle Obama was missing during Jimmy Carter’s funeral Jan. 7, the former First Lady and Barack Obama’s wife will also not attend Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.

The former second lady's absence comes just days after she declined to shake hands with Donald and Melania Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral

Though federal flag code dictates a 30-day mourning period after the death of a former president, not everyone is complying. Here's what we know.

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.
