All Three Former Presidents Will Skip Trump's Inaugural Lunch: Report
HuffPost
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.
President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural lunch will be missing three prominent faces, with former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush all reportedly declining to attend.
Obama received Trump’s invitation but has declined to attend. Clinton said he does not plan to attend and Bush’s office said it was not tracking an invitation for him to the event, according to sources speaking with NBC News.
The traditional lunch is scheduled to take place following Monday’s swearing-in ceremony, which all three former presidents have said they will attend.
Former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton, who attended Trump’s inaugural lunch after losing to him in the 2016 election, was also invited to the lunch but will not attend this year’s, NBC also reported.
Former first lady Michelle Obama has also said that she will skip the entire day’s events. Though no reason was given, several outlets have pointed to Trump’s years-long personal attacks on her and her family, and her fierce criticism of him while campaigning against his reelection.
