When President Donald Trump lost this year's election to Joe Biden, almost nobody around him said they could envision the losing incumbent attending his successor's inauguration.
The image remains implausible for a President who will likely never concede and said Sunday that nothing would convince him he lost. Yet Republicans and aides to Trump are encouraging him to at least consider attending Biden's swearing-in, hoping his presence will both reflect well on his character and help preserve his future influence but also convince Americans the election was fair.
"I hope the President is there on Inaugural Day," Sen. Roy Blunt, the Missouri Republican who is responsible for overseeing January's inauguration, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Blunt, who declined to call Biden the president-elect, still said it was "likely" the former vice president would be sworn in on January 20. He said he was "continuing to work to see what we can do to have both the President there and have Vice President Biden there, likely sworn in on that day."

No, stay away Trump. No one likes you aside from your brain dead followers.

(115,687 posts)Trump's "character" as it actually is would reflect badly on a rabid wolverine. He should stay the fuck away from the inauguration, and if he wants to have one of his bad-sport super-spreader rallies somewhere else, fine, and fuck him some more.

(1,686 posts)Is fun watching the five year old Orange Child carry on ranting and raving and yelling and screaming and crying. I imagine more than a few of the MAGA morons are gonna start abandoning this whining jack ass.
Retrograde
(10,136 posts)A poster upthread said he might grab the mike: I think that's too much exertion for him. But he'd bring his own mike, hog the podium, try to keep Roberts from administering the oath, and going into a long, incoherent rant about vote dumping or dead people voting or something.
Hmm- maybe the Biden administration can sell pay-for-view rights and get back some of the money the grifter and his spawn spent on themselves
