Don’t former presidents normally attend presidential inaugurations, whether the new president is from his political party or not????
I think George H.W. Bush has seen declining health, which would explain his absence.
It’s protocol.
True, but it's a mere convenience. Poppy Bush could be at the peak of health and still wouldn't attend.
Trump stomped the living crap out of the country club Republican'ts and Poppy's little boy, Jeb. He then went on to demolish Poppy's adopted daughter in the general election.
Poppy's still p'd off about all that. So is his boy, Dubya.
