I think it was only the years 1801 and 1869 when we had an exiting president who failed to attend the inauguration of the next duly elected president.  I suspect it will happen again on the next transfer of power to a new leader.  I'm not making any bets on which inauguration day (2021 or 2025) will see a new president take the office.  When it happens, though, I'm assuming that Trump will fail to attend.

It's been an entertaining mental exercise to imagine just exactly why Trump will fail to attend.

Why will Trump NOT join the inauguration ceremony for the next elected USA President?
