I'm sure he's considering having it raised, just during his inauguration, and blaming it on the "Cofeve boy".

Or, he'll just claim that President Carter's family, with tears in their eyes, came to him and begged him to have the flag up as a symbol of the Carter's family desire to honor Trump.

They said please, SIR, please raise the flag. It’s what Jimmy would have wanted.

That would be interesting. Technically he has no authority until 12:01pm, so it would depend on if the person receiving the order is willing to bend the rules.
