President Trump refused to rule out the possibility of skipping his successor’s inauguration in January during an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News.
Speaking with “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, the president would not answer when asked directly by Kilmeade whether he would attend President-elect Joe Biden‘s inauguration next month.
“So would you show up at the inauguration?” Kilmeade asked.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” Trump responded.
“I want to talk about this. We’ve done a great job. I got more votes than any president in the history of our country. In the history of our country, right? Not even close — 75 million far more than Obama, far more than anybody. And they say we lost an election. We didn’t lose. If I got 10 million fewer votes, they say I couldn’t have lost,” Trump added, repeating baseless claims revolving around election fraud and the 2020 race.
When asked if he was worried about what would happen if he had not conceded by the time Biden’s inauguration occurred, Trump said that he believed Biden would be an “illegitimate” president.

Hey, Trump has never really been good at losing. That is why he has been such a good president.
Who said Trump was invited in the first place? In fact, weren’t the Democrats floating a virtual inauguration instead of in-person attendance?
re: “repeating baseless claims revolving around election fraud”
Who said the claims are baseless? Even a blind man can see that the election in the swing states was fraudulent and illegitimate. And from so many angles. Welcome to the United States of Venezuela.
A criminal who was coronavirused last year will only have at his inauguration criminals who were already coronavirused and 6′ under like him.
It would a gadlus if he did but gaavah does a lot of things to many! Sadly he will not attend. It would be a big boost to unity if he could but I would bet a nickel on him attending! Too painful!
Why should he? Even if he won legally I don’t see why Trump has to attend the inauguration.
Jerrold Nadler and Chuck Schumer didn’t show up to President Trump’s inauguration.
