I have watched every single Innaguation with pride and patriotism regardless if my preferred candidate won. This year my husband and I will be attending a MLK event instead.
Between that & half-staff flags & likely poor attendance/viewership, it should be a crummy day for him. But he'll also get the nuclear codes back & sign horrid EOs until his hand falls off & hear applause at a bunch of inaugural balls while stealing the balance of the fund. So he'll focus on that.
No secret smile here, full blown @martinlutherkingjr.bsky.social celebration... Absolutely NO inauguration viewing, no Spending, except with Black owned and small businesses... Let the festivities begin!!! ✅️🍿😎
Flying the flags at half-staff is a nice touch too. If they weren't done for honoring Jimmy Carter, the flags should have been hung upside down for Trump's inauguration.
Maybe Trump will give a nod to Doctor and Reverend King in his speech, with a flair all Trump’s own, like “Like a King very similar to myself but with smaller crowds, I know well what it’s like to have a check returned and marked insufficient funds”
Yes, January is so much more…January 6 is a day to remember Jamais Plus (never again)—It’s National Day of Morning on the 9th for Jimmy Carter, and MLK Day on the 20th.
Inauguration, what’s that? Planning it as a nonevent.
I wonder if that’s the real reason why he wants a rally the day before- bc he can’t stand that the inauguration is MLK jr day! And wants a day all to himself bc he’s that narcissistic

And flags will be flying half staff for President Carter … 🙏 for hail and 3’ of snow..porn model can’t wear her Louboutins
Diaper Don can’t hold down his comb over and all roads are closed to the inaugural
Lol, Flag half-mast as country is in mourning for President Carter. MLK honoring of a civil rights leader, and then Inauguration Day of chaos. Sounds like trump will be that threes a crowd person when it comes to tributes!
I'm surprised Trump hasn't already bitched about it; he's already complained vehemently about flags being at half-mast during the inauguration because of the passing of Jimmy Carter. He said "nobody wants to see that;" just like he said no one wanted to see disabled veterans.
Would be just great if a large group of people gathered in DC to commemorate MLK Jr. Day somewhere other than the Mall, and if that crowd dwarfed the huddled trogladytes attending his inauguration.
So many things he is annoyed about, President Carter had to die and cause his hissy fit, " our big beautiful American flag at half-mast" is pissing him off, The People's March Jan 18th, and MLK Jr Day. His ego demands all attention and that is why none of us should watch the inauguration,
I used to hate that day because my birthday was always the same week. On Mondays only, during a required auditorium meeting, they would celebrate upcoming birthday. I never got to join because of MLK Day. Literally only the year after when I no longer attended those did it not coincide. Unfair...
But now, I'm thrilled by this day. Also that school was abusive so really it just goes to show that my time there was worthless anyway. It was religious and caused most of my hatred for religion.
MLK is a hero deserving of respect. And I am pleased he will ruin things for a racist from beyond. 🤭
On March 1, 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower issued a proclamation on the proper times. The flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the US and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a former president.
What would be perfect is to have a speech honoring MLK on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gather a large crowd — all with their backs to the inauguration.
The toad’s crap ‘inauguration’ is on MLK Jr. Days and our flag is flying at half-mast in respect for our loved President Jimmy Carter! There is joy in DC-the whimpy toad has struck out! 🙂
Elon is your next president. After the inauguration trump will be locked away in one of the white house rooms muttering where's Ivana, where's Ivana? Did jfk, jr win the election? everybody's saying he won.
I appreciate that President Carter made sure he lived long enough to vote against Trump and passed away before having to watch the arsehole take office. Well done Jimmy!
After Trump is officially sworn in as prez, will his first order of business be to raise the flags? I thought he was going to pardon his MAGA insurrectionists. 🤮
Can’t wait to hear what his whine will be - probably along the lines “he never said anything nice about your favorite president,me” What a fucking child he is.
and he thinks flags will be at 1/2 mast when then will be 1/2 staff for President Carter. I love this for Trump. Its a beautiful thing when his brain melts 🤯. He now knows how we feel every day for next 4 years 🤦🏻
I’m glad you brought that up. I feel the opposite. What an insult to a man who dedicated his life to Civil Rights and Justice. The arc of the moral universe is long, and it should bend towards justice. Somehow, Trump found a way to bend the moral arc to his will, and that’s disgraceful! #Justice
Flags at half staff for President Carter AND it’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day? Well deserved remembrances for two great people. Donnie’s lying on a Bible seems so trivial in comparison.
People in the crowd should bring MLK Jr. signs just to make the day not all about him. After all that is why he is pissed about the flags being at half staff, it isn't about him.
Although I waiting to see his remake / doctored pics of his inauguration. The flags will be flying high with just the right waves. The crowd will be the biggest ever seen.
Thanks for this post. I needed it today. Today is such a dark day in American’s history. The Authoritarian extremist Part of the Republican(MAGA Branch) Won the War without a shot being fired. Sad day for Democracy around the world .
Wouldn’t say it’s about welcoming as much as it is about having discourse with folx that are open to listening regardless of a system historically known for rewarding a two-party dominant system. Let’s encourage dialogue in effort to make us all better
And as if karma wasn’t smiling the national symbol will fly at half staff warning the world Trump is on deck and is about to wreck havoc upon America. We will be lucky to survive this morons ignorance.
But the 15th is his birthday. Mine is too so he’s ruining my observed holiday MLK Jr Day that is my peeps 2nd chance in case they missed my Wednesday birthday. 😜🤣
He is feeling he can get no respect, first day of celebration for a black man on his special day and then flags are at half staff in memorial of the death of President Carter. The old boy's shortcomings are exploding.
We are accepting the tiniest crumbs. Sadly that is what we have now.
Flags lowered for a great president that left us and the inauguration on a day honoring a powerful man that changed a nation and died for the sins of that nation.
I am sure he is. He's already ticked that the flags will be lowered to half mast to honor a man who had more honor in his pinkie finger that Trump has in his whole body.
That will annoy him! And to think that of all the Federal Government employees (who will be "fired" by the Orange Kool-aid Dynasty Dictator) who probably won't attend because they believe in DEI...

The message is not the problem, it's the messaging!
Get your kicks in 2026!!!
This and the flags flying at half-staff…priceless
Volunteer and do some good instead

It won't take this bunch that long.
MLK Day parade.
It feels like we are all heading for the gallows.
MLK is a hero deserving of respect. And I am pleased he will ruin things for a racist from beyond. 🤭
I'd bet he doesn't even know it's #MLK jr day too
Now, all we need is a blizzard with thunder snow.
Trump did not win. He cheated with help from Putin and Musk.
Trump is disqualified from serving. He instigated an insurrection against our country.
Please call your representatives in Congress.
And flags at half-staff…
The imbecile will be overshadowed by two Icons.
What are the odds of him eliminating MLK day as a federal holiday?
I’m hoping for history to change course
But.....no harm in smiling on 20 Jan.
Flags lowered for a great president that left us and the inauguration on a day honoring a powerful man that changed a nation and died for the sins of that nation.
He will be filling his Pampers in pure rage over that!
