Trump will not attend the inauguration

President Donald Trump
President Donald trump will not attend the inauguration ceremony of a new president on January 20, 2021, in Washington, the president said in a tweet on Friday. The president said on Thursday in a speech he is currently preoccupied with ensuring a peaceful transition.
This is coming amid tense developments in Washington following the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday. There is also a talk about a threat by some lawmakers to either remove the president from office using the 25th Amendment, and if that does not work, to impeach him for the second time.
The idea about removing the president from office is said to be linked to an allegation that he incited the storming of the Capitol. But some of the president's supporters have said the president has not committed any crime, but those who have broken into the Capitol and caused chaos.
The idea of the application of the 25th Amendment is also reported as having fallen apart because Vice president Mike Pence has refused to sign into it. However, the Democrats and a score of Republican lawmakers are said to be talking seriously about the need to teach a lesson to forestall any future occurrence of Wednesday storming of the Capitol. And the lesson they want to teach is removing the president.
Observers are quick to point out that if healing and unity is what the politicians are seeking, removing the president who has just 12 days away to vacate the office does not represent a good idea coming from people with sound minds. Another way, some Republican lawmakers like Senator Lindsey Graham do not think using the 25t Amendment or impeachment against the president is a sound idea. Instead, he says he is working towards a peaceful transition.
Another development that seems to manifest the great divide among the lawmakers in Washington is the accusation by some Democratic Party lawmakers against Ted Cruz and another Republican Party lawmaker of responsibility for the Wednesday storming of the Capitol, because of their support for the president and a request for an audit of the election towards ensuring election integrity. Our source said that Cruz unloaded against the Democrats, viewing the Democrats' stance as a continuation of their attack on the president and the Republican Party.
The Republican Party members are currently seeing the Democrats as using the excuse of the storming of the Capitol to want to destroy the Republican Party, and they see the idea and the talk about using the 25th Amendment or impeachment against the president as the beginning of the Democratic Party's move against the Republican Party.
A statement by Mayor Muriel Bower of Washington asking that the control of the Washington National Guard be transferred to her office by the new Congress within first 100 days is handy for the Republican Party as the beginning of the Democratic Party's move to begin a push towards limiting the Republican Party using the storming of the Capitol.
