Trump becomes 4th US president to skip successor’s inauguration
President Trump will become only the fourth president in US history to not attend his successor’s inauguration.
The last time it happened was in 1869, when outgoing president Andrew Johnson refused to travel to the ceremony in the same carriage as President-elect Ulysses Grant.
Media outlets previously reported that Trump was planning to be at his golf course in Scotland, but Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would not allow him to enter the country.
