Related: About this forumHow many here think a defeated trump will NOT attend the new Presidents inauguration?
I actually think he will NOT. He is that shallow.

Oh, does he have any "towers" in countries that don't extradite? Maybe he's got his own little penthouse suite already outfitted there.

(17,865 posts)Pence will be because Trump will resign sometime between election day and inauguration so that Pence can issue him a pardon. Pence will have already received his pardon (along with who knows how many others).
I don't know if those close to Trump pushing Pence out the door realize they need him for at least one thing.

Journeyman
(15,041 posts)Both of the Adams did not attend: John Adams felt the election had been stolen from him, and John Quincy Adams was unwilling to see Andrew Jackson claim the office. Andrew Johnson refused to attend Grant's ceremony, and Woodrow Wilson, though he rode to the Capitol with Harding, left before the event began.
John Adams could be characterized as a fit of pique. John Q. felt Jackson was beneath the position, while Andrew Johnson had quite a number of issues, both personal and political. Wilson had serious health concerns.
Trump? I can easily see him not attending. He'll try to rationalize it, make it appear something mature, but it'll be the tantrum of a child. And we'll all feel greater when he's gone, both personally and as a nation. Isn't that what he's promised us all along?

(82,383 posts)very interesting. Those were all before mass media days; in modern times it is a tradition (the peaceful transfer and all that) but Drumpf is not one for respecting our traditions, so I bet he will sulk and not attend, and as the astute poster above said, have a rally for himself somewhere else.

(999 posts)In recent times the new President sees the former President off on the North side of the Capitol after the swearing in and speech. The former President and First Lady usually depart via Marine One and are taken to Andrews where they board Airforce One which has a special call sign for this flight. Somehow I cannot see Trump missing out on milking the government for one more free ride. I am quite sure the entire clown posse will want to take that ride.

(2,896 posts)as possible... and watch as much TV as possible... and grift as much as possible without having to continue to pretend he's "working." He'll probably invite his favorite white (inter)nationalists, dictators and other kindred fascists to come kiss his ring (while he's still officially prez) as they plot their next diabolical moves to enrich themselves and screw the rest of us. To me that's the logical scenario if his efforts to cling to power fail. I don't think he likes the WH or Washington at all... just the perks. I can't imagine he'd show up to see anyone else inaugurated.

(581 posts)President Obama invited him two days after the election in 2016.
President Bush invited Obama six days after the election in 2008. And 13 days before the inaugaration in 2009 Obama was invited again along with former Presidents Carter, Bush Sr and Clinton.

(7,639 posts)Only color allowed: The tie. But it must always be tied with the Windsor or half Windsor knot. Even a bow tie is fashion statement fraught with danger.
Now, those dudes in the 16th and 17th century? The ones who could afford it? Now THAT was style!
Women today have it much better in that respect with the only requirement appearing to be that it must be a dress of some sort and so with the freedom to create ...some can be absolutely amazing.
But men? Boring. There again: at least we don't have to agonize over what to wear, the only challenge being the choice of tie.

(46 posts)He'll be worried that he'd be arrested as soon as <your Dem choice here> completes the oath of office. The new president would be violating the oath if he wasn't since it includes:
"...will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
No one, to date, has been a greater violator. I'll note his skin will blend well with his new jump suit, and we'll finally get to know what he really weighs...

(49,410 posts)Ueberroth, who, in 1984 was chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee. During a press conference Ueberroth was asked if he expected the Soviets and their communist allies to attend the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
USSR had threatened to boycott the L.A. event in retaliation to the U.S. boycott of Moscow's Olympics in 1980.
Ueberroth ended his statement with, "If they don't want to come, they can stay the hell out".
In the spirit of Ueberroth's 1984 comment, I'll say:
"If the Trumps don't want to come, they can stay the hell out".
