President Donald Trump announced that he
will not be attending the Jan. 20
Presidential Inauguration via Twitter.
To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th, Donald Trump, via Twitter.
Trump was not expected to attend Biden's Inauguration,
which is representative of the
peaceful transfer of power in the U.S.
He is the first modern president to break the
tradition of attending the ceremony.
He is only the fourth president to ever have done so,
joining John Adams, John Quincy Adams
and Andrew Johnson.
Trump's speech prior to the storming of the
U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been
widely denounced as having incited the crowd.
Calls for his removal by lawmakers on both sides
of the aisle continue to gain momentum
