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:
They are the swamp dwellers, who really wants them in Washington?
Two faced bastards!!!!!!
Disgusting
The policies of ALL those former and soon to be former presidents in the picture were disastrous for the country. I would hope Trump doesn’t want to be identified with those rats.
The elite class are showing they are scared. Scared of a man who has spent his life conducting sucessful businesses. They are scared because he will be able to return this country to a free, and once again, powerful nation ranked as the biggest superpower in the world. Career politicians are who have almost destroyed our great Nation. Trump IS NOT a career politician. The lobbyist in washington DC are soon to become a thing of the past, using money to bribe congress to pass bills that make them richer. Thank you Lord, for answering our prayers!
Those that don’t attend should hang their heads in shame.are they moving to Canada also?
I use to think Carter was the worst president until Obama. He is showing class by attending the others are showing that the left wing and the right wing is connected to the same corrupt bird
The mental hospital , wont let them out for the day ! who wants a bunch of senile old farts there ? besides who needs them ?
Who cares.
We do not want traitors in our inauguration so that is fine with me. I know that Reagan will be with us in spirit. Trump only wants we, the people to e present physically or spiritually and he got us! Besides the Bushes have done enough damage already to their name.
