President-elect Joe Biden said President Donald Trump's decision to skip his inauguration is "one of the few things he and I have ever agreed on."

"It's a good thing, him not showing up," Biden told reporters Friday in Wilmington, Delaware, at a news conference after he introduced Cabinet nominees.

"He exceeded even my worst notions about him. He's been an embarrassment to the country, embarrassed us around the world. He's not worthy to hold that office," Biden said.

However, Biden said he is glad Vice President Mike Pence will attend his inauguration.

1. I agree, I hated the thought of him being there next to Joe and Kamala.

He needs to be far far away.

2. 'He exceeded even my worst notions about him.'

We tried to tell ya. We tried to tell anyone who’d listen. My sense of vindication is bittersweet.

3. Well said, Joe!

Put Trump on White Bronco One (new call sign for Marine One) and fly him (very slowly) to New Jersey and drop him off. No reason to risk a landing, just drop him. Please. Pretty please!

16. Do they have a helipad at Rikers Island?

Sorry, the visuals just delight me at the moment.😀

19. We might find out when NY and NYCs AGs have at him

17. "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!" n/t

4. On that day I would like to see ex president Trump

handed a blindfold and stood up against a wall.
You know, like in North Korea.

5. Fuck yeah!

[Maraya1969]

6. I agree 100% Having to look at the ugly mug of Trump during Biden's

inauguration would ruin it.

[Nitram]

7. I agree. Trump's presence would be a real buzzkill.

[dutch777]

12. Trump breathing air outside of prison and not dressed in orange is a buzzkill too

Time will soon be on our side, not his. Let him stew in the juices of the misery and lies he has wrought all these years.

8. Good

Trump would be the turd in the punch bowl. If he had accepted defeat, called Biden, helped with the transition - well, he would have been tolerated at the inauguration. But now? Nobody wants anything to do with him. On January 20th, at noon, America is free of this shit stain.

9. Maybe not totally free of him..... depends on whether or not he keeps stirring shit up

We've had to tolerate his bullshit since the birther nonsense, it would be most welcome if he simply disappeared.

[Grokenstein]

14. Yes, it's hard to imagine what he'll do that day to make it all about him

especially since he won't have Twitter (and hopefully, no access to the football)

[Cha]

10. Well said PE Biden! I recall a few weeks ago

that he said he thought he should he should attend for tradition or something like that..
But Things Changed Drastically!

[NNadir]

13. That was beautiful. Joe Biden is the right man for this job.

[burrowowl]

15. Glad dump is not going!

[bigtime]

18. Best he is not there

He would somehow disrupt the whole thing.
