Other than Barack Obama, only four living people know firsthand the rigors of the presidency — and three of them have refused to RSVP to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The peaceful transfer of power between presidents is one of the most profound and important aspects of American democracy.

All the others are dip shits anyway
I am sure mr trump will not miss any one of them!!
