These are given out by Presidents. Just another hint.
I have NEVER seen a departing POTUS get the 21 gun salute that an incoming POTUS gets. Also, the inauguration was early, which makes one wonder, why? Inaugurations are EXTREMELY well regimented. For them to screw up Biden's so badly had to be on purpose.
In 2017 the 21 gun salute began the second after Trump repeated the line, "So help me God." The 21 gun salute could be seen with the Capitol Building in the background. Bidens? In the Arlington Cemetery?

Now you tell me, does the military make such a horrible mistake by having the 21 gun salute for an incoming POTUS at the wrong place, with the wrong amount of howitzers, with the wrong timing, at the wrong time? No. It does not.
45-47
By the way, the one at Arlington was only 13, not 21. And with roughly 9-10 second intervals. It was the salute for a visiting foreign dignitary. Joe Biden did NOT get a 21 gun salute. Ever.
I, for one, don't think it's about setting it up to use against them. That would just make it look like Trump trying to get even. Yes, we KNOW it would be justified, but I think something else is going to have to happen to get more people behind Trump, not looking at him like he's just trying to get even.
For this reason, I think whatever is going to happen will have to be outside the realm of politics.
