Donald Trump announces that he will not be attending Joe Biden’s inauguration

by

Outgoing United States President Donald Trump announced today, Friday, that he will not be attending the inauguration and inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Jan. 20.

In one of the few tweets he’s posted since Twitter reactivated his account, Trump wrote, “To anyone who asked, I’m not going to attend the January 20th inauguration.”

Trump thus becomes the first sitting president since Andrew Johnson, who was in office from 1865 to 1869, who will not attend the inauguration of his successor.

In a previous tweet, Trump sent a message to his followers, “The 75,000,000 Great American Patriots who voted for me, USA FIRST and MAKE UNITED STATES GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOTE in the future.”

“They will not be respected or treated unfairly in any way!”

Trump first acknowledged his defeat in the November election yesterday and condemned the attack on the Capitol on Wednesday by his followers, a fact for which he was held responsible for harassing them with their baseless allegations of electoral fraud before it happened.

In that message, Trump assured that those of his followers who committed crimes during the attack on Congress that killed five, including a police officer, “will pay.”

Trump has been denouncing election irregularities and alleged fraud over the past two months since the election results were out.
