A Republican official who oversees Nassau County on New York's Long Island  seemingly refused to lower flags to half-staff in memory of the late Democratic President Jimmy Carter, who died last weekend at the age of 100.

A New York county that hadn’t been flying flags at half-staff following former President Jimmy Carter’s death announced on Sunday it’s planning to do so. “The flags in Nassau County will be at half-staff for President Carter from the commencement of Lying in State on January 7th through burial on January

"Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it," Trump said of the US flag flying at half-staff during his inauguration.
