    I think it's incumbent on him to go and behave.

    He thinks there was fraud, so he tried what he could legally to overturn that and then some. But it's over now. Even he said that.

    If he can't go and behave (i.e., be the President), he should resign today.

      He could still show up.

      After all, he told all the protesters that he was going to join them in their march on the Capitol, and then he fucked off and presumably went home to watch American Carnage on TV.

      I was only joking

        I thought his twitter account was shut down

        I remember I was happy that Mr. Nixon was not in attendance at Mr. Ford's swearing-in

        With Mr. Trump not in attendance, wouldn't it be a nice gesture, and a nod toward precedent, if Mr. Biden were to reach out to Trump supporters with an opening line like Mr. Ford's?

          Is there any sane argument behind believing this isn't a good idea?

          If he deserves to be President today, he should be there during the transfer of power.

          If you want to up the chances of having the transfer of power be a shitshow, by all means, have this embarrassment attend. If you want to up the chances of having a peaceful transfer of power, the embarrassment should keep his ass in a bunker from now until it's over.

            Yes, and I agree, this is exactly what is needed.

                  But Kennedy was there for Johnson, in body if not in spirit.

                    At this point he shouldn’t attend. It’s a very wise choice. Period.

                                I think it's only happened 3 times. Johnson was the latest (150 years ago?) and the other two times were when Beethoven could still hear.

                                  It is not surprising but still very sad, and just another mark against President Trump.

                                  As @Jolly said quite correctly, you should respect the office of President, even if you do not agree completely with the person having it. (Maybe not exact words, but I think that is what you meant)

                                    His election loss was a tremendous blow to him psychologically. He's been reeling. He's had defeats in the past, but has always been able to convince himself that none of it was his fault: self-exoneration. But this time, no matter what he did, the message kept coming back from every institution, every quarter: You lost, you lost, you lost -- repeatedly, unavoidably, inevitably.

                                    He has no foresight. You and I, we would think something like, "I might lost this contest; if I do, I'll do X." We would be prepared. I think Trump doesn't possess that mechanism. "I always find a way to win."

                                    So it's kind of anybody's guess what he will do from now on. I kind of think he'll sulk in his tent, but I make no predictions.

                                    We'll see a lot less bloviating, probably.

                                        He's had defeats in the past, but has always been able to convince himself that none of it was his fault. But this time, no matter what he did, the message kept coming back: You lost, you lost, you lost.
                                        He has no foresight. You and I, we would think something like, "I might lost this contest; if I do, I'll do X." We would be prepared. I think Trump doesn't possess that mechanism. "I always find a way to win."

                                        Good comment.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Is there any sane argument behind believing this isn't a good idea?

                                          If he deserves to be President today, he should be there during the transfer of power.

                                          Johnson was not there for Grant. It's not required.

                                          I think it's only happened 3 times. Johnson was the latest (150 years ago?) and the other two times were when Beethoven could still hear.
