Obviously some establishment functionary, probably a Democrat, assumed incorrectly that Trump would simply acquiesce to a fait accompli, a rather obtuse thing to do considering Trump’s personality.
Yep things change as life moves forward. Some other units that have participated in the past
have dropped this year. And new ones are being admitted.
Example:
Three Oaks rodeo drill team to perform in inauguration parade
The girls applied to perform for President Obama’s parade in 2009, but they didn’t get in.
This time the lucky ladies were chosen out of more than 3,000 entries to have a once in a
lifetime opportunity.

Maybe they can get Vin Scully, I hear quit his last gig.
Just one question, who did this guy replace 60 Years ago?
Not quite the same BUT when it is time to go, it is time to go.
Just leaving him in place because he has been doing it for xx number of years isn’t really proving anything.
As to the ‘objections’ remember the fuss ‘we’ raised over Billy Dale & the travel office?, Yes not the same but of the same trend.
I, for one, hope Trump does NOT pardon the turkey for Thanksgiving.
As far as I am concerned, it is a dumb ‘tradition’ and have been hoping someone would have already done it.
BO doesn’t realize how much more I would have thought of him if he would have invited the Turkey to be the ‘centerpiece’ of the Thanksgiving Dinner.
Don Rickles would be great.
