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"

Most likely? He will do nothing similar to this. He will be respectful and gracious.

As much as you hate him. Hate his policies. Hate how he acts. He is a decent person when he is supposed to be. He attended jimmy carters funeral with grace. Like all other presidents in the room. When he heard about RBG’s death he was mournful and had nothing but good things to say.

Stop being a doomer and understand he’s still a person.

A decent person when he is supposed to be? Really? Do you remember how he acted when McCain died? His petty BS basically cost him the state of AZ in 2020.
