Obama's dignity and Trump's arrogance

I hated that Obama had to attend Trump’s inauguration. Having to see the person who was responsible for birtherism take over for you. I wanted him to skip it. But I knew that he shouldn’t, couldn’t or wouldn’t. The MSM and the right wingers would have ate that up. He would have been described as a sore loser, not supporting a peaceful transition of power, nor honoring America, etc....

I was looking forward to Trump having to attend Biden’s inauguration. The loser having to see his successor sworn in. Having to hear the inaugural speech subtly attacking him. But I knew that he didn’t had the courage to attend.

I'd be doing a happy dance watching him struggle to scream with duct tape over that mouth.
