It starts at noon, he still won't be President till alter, after he takes the oath of office. But you serously think his first offical act as President, in the middle of his innogeration proceedings, will be to have the flags raised to full staff?
Given his childish narcissism, his uncontrollable urge to force things his way no matter what moral, ethical and lawful restraints he crushes underfoot along with his insatiable thirst for unrestrained control and power, I think there's a pretty good chance it's near the top of his pissed off to-do list once he's given the ability to do so.
His everything, his reason for existing is his efforts at conjuring and expanding an image, a hollowed out hoax persona he's constantly crafting and trying to maintain to hide his faults, his failures and his depressing insecurities that keeps dogging him. That half-staffed flag is anathema to this never ending quest of his.
Methinks it irritates him to no end that it hurts that fragile egotistical image he's so hyper-sensitive about projecting. I'm pretty sure it's eating away at him, just like every other thing that works against his need to be adored, feared and respected.
IDK, it's just what I've noticed about that moron over the years he's been incessantly exploiting that nationwide con game he's been pulling.
