Just Saying: Not Attending the Presidential Inauguration of a Man Who Tried to Overthrow Democracy

All Three Former Presidents Will Skip Trump’s Inaugural Lunch: Report

During Trump’s 2017 luncheon, he called for a standing ovation for Hillary Clinton and forecast four years of “peace and prosperity” under his administration.

Just Saying
By Raul Hernandez
American flag, US constitution and a judge's gavel symbolizing the American justice system or the Judicial Branch of government ( Judiciary )I would never attend the inauguration of anyone who actively sought to undermine the democracy they are sworn to serve. To participate in such a ceremony would feel like endorsing a betrayal of the very principles that hold a nation together.
As for Donald Trump, he epitomizes the soullessness of unchecked greed and an insatiable hunger for power and adulation. His lack of conscience, emotional instability, and erratic decision-making pose a grave threat—not just to America but to the entire world. The idea that someone so unpredictable has access to 3,300 thermonuclear weapons is beyond chilling.
This is a man who might attempt to invade Greenland on a whim, seize control of the Panama Canal, or launch a nuclear strike based on paranoia or delusion. His hostility toward NATO allies and cozy relationships with autocrats like Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un further amplify his danger.
He is a menace—unfit to lead, unworthy of trust, and perilous to both the United States and the planet.
Why would any rational person attend the swearing-in of a certified lunatic?
To do so would be to stand complicit in the chaos he represents.
