Other than Barack Obama, only four living people know firsthand the rigors of the presidency — and three of them have refused to RSVP to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The peaceful transfer of power between presidents is one of the most profound and important aspects of American democracy. At the outset of our nation’s history, it was what set us apart from the monarchies of Europe. While other nations have since adopted America’s democratic system, ours remains the gold standard by which all others are judged. No other country has so successfully respected the tradition of free and fair elections and the personal willingness to give up power.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that Jimmy Carter is the only former president willing to commit to Trump’s inauguration. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have all received invites but have so far not commented on whether they will attend.
Continue reading on the next page to see why the former presidents are skipping the event:
I wouldn’t want to be associated with them. I had to hold my nose each time I voted for a bush and what can be said about the clinton criminal empire that hasn’t already been said.
What a bunch of reptiles.
You are correct. Both Bush’s are part of the problem. Elitist, globalists that share a lot more in common with Obama than Trump.
Donald Trumps Inauguration will be one of the most heartfelt occasions America has had since Ronald Reagan! Never have so many tuned in, turned out for every rally, appearance, comment & appointment & nominee! The previous Presidents never generated so much HOPE & Allegiance to this race as Donald Trump! No one will miss the ex’s I assure you! This will be Trumps night, ushering in his administration! All of which these men have no part, nor are they invited!
The funny thing is that none of us are surprised!
The Republicrats Bush & Bush sold out to Hillary and Bill, Jimmy & Barack were already for the new world order!
Guess it is the Southern Gentleman in Jimmy Carter that prompts him to attend! He will be welcome!
All leaders for new world order any questions
Carter is the only one of them that isn’t A crook .
Surprise surprise that’s OK cause the other three were useless just like obummer
