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.

We dont really need Obama or Clinton. And the Bush’s are not necessary tgere if they do not want to be! Jimmy shows respect!
DIDN’T LIKE THEM ANY WAY.AND THEY THOUGH THEY NEW HOW TO RUN THE COUNTRY. I HPOE THEY KEEP WATCHING THE MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING ALL 3 OF THEM.
Good they all are part of the same swamp. I don’t want them there.
The antichrist thanks he break a one a third term
Shows he still has his balls
Failure to show only reflects in their character.
It doesn’t surprise me the other ones are behaving like children Jimmy Carter and his wife are real people
Watch closely, Trump is going to skyrocket over their tenure as commander in chief. Trump is breaking up the cesspool, and it’s obvious that they’re not happy about it.
What a disgrace for the Ex Presidents not to attend. The Bush’s are as bad as the Democrat Liberals. Use to respect them, but not anymore. They would not liked it if they had been treated the way they are treating Trump.
A Blessing !
