Boohoo, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he would not be attending Joe Biden’s inauguration.
In a tweet, he said, “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the inauguration on January 20th.” (I guess someone is a sore loser).
To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

His decision to skip on Biden’s swear-in ceremony comes weeks after he refuses to acknowledge Biden’s win in the Nov. 3 election.
But on Thursday, Trump finally acknowledged his loss in a video, saying that a new administration will take office in January.
After reports that Vice President Mike Pence was expected to attend the inauguration, Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley tweeted: “You can’t attend something you haven’t received an invitation to….”
Biden’s spokeswoman for the inaugural committee said Pence is “of course invited to attend the Inaugural.”
She said the president and vice president traditionally do not receive formal invitations. Attendance is coordinated at a staff level, “and that is taking place.”
