Trump says he won't attend Biden's inauguration

Days after a violent mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol, Trump definitively said he would not attend the inauguration of his successor.


President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, putting to rest any lingering questions about whether he would go.

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th," Trump tweeted.

Biden, speaking to reporters in Wilmington, Delaware, later Friday, said that Trump not coming to his swearing-in was “one of the few things we agree on.”

Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and their spouses, have all said they will attend Biden's inauguration. Former President Jimmy Carter, who is 96, and his wife have said they will not travel for the event.

Trump's announcement came one day after he released a video finally condemning his supporters for violently swarming the U.S. Capitol, in a statement that called for a "seamless transition of power."

That statement Thursday was a remarkable about-face from the video he released Wednesday shortly after rioters stormed the Capitol following a Trump rally, disrupting Congress as it was formally affirming Biden's Electoral College victory. Lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding over the count, were forced to flee.

You Know!

Joe Biden said, it's even better for Trump not to be present

Stupid man! It is better he doesn't attend. He should be meeting with his lawyers because Letitia James, AG of NY is waiting to slam his with legal summons.

Nigeria fake men of God, how Far? Even I already knew that he wasn't going to win his 2nd term.

A man that is very selfish and looks out for his own pocket is a touted as a man of God.
