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.

They don’t need to come they are all corrupt American are better off without them
Their loss! 🙂 Go President Donald J. Trump ! (Y)
Never liked any of them. Maybe George W. The rest are b******t politicians.
“THE REST ARE TRAITORS TO AMERICANS 100-%”
So what you just said is odumbass is the only pro American! You need to get back in touch with the facts. Odumbass is probably the most anti American of the whole bunch and will go down on record as the worst President in US history.
THE REST WANTED OPEN BORDERS AND ONE WORLD ORDER. THAT WOULD DESTROY AMERICA.
They are ALL part of the machine, and Trump is not. It only stands to reason and sanity that they would oppose him. We know from the late 70’s Carter isnt really sane.
The wimp society.
So much for respecting the position of President. …….
I can understand the loser and the Terrorist, but the Bush’s are just showing how classless they truly are.
I can’t wait for one of these people to say something about respecting the position, i hope this gets thrown in thier face.
Who cares they are FORMER, past,out of office. Trump is the new president and he has the majority of the country behind him. The guys in the picture are just washed up dumbass
