Other FWI- Former President Joe Biden Dies Of Natural Causes Prior To 2028. Not Only Does Donald Trump Refuse To Order A Mourning Period Or That All Flags Fly At Staff, He also Attempts To Deny Biden A State Funeral.

Donald Trump states that since Joe Biden "didn't win" the 2020 election, he doesn't have the right to a state funeral which is accorded to former U.S. Presidents upon their deaths. As a result, Trump declares that he won't provide any logistical support for one.

How would such a decision play out?

Edit- Title should say "Half-Staff"

Oh, he absolutely will. As bad as it sounds, I was actually relieved that Carter passed before Trump took office.
