Trump Pressed on Whether He Would Attend Biden's Inauguration: 'I Don't Want to Talk About That'
President Donald Trump is refusing to answer the question of whether he will plan to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
During a Fox News interview that aired Sunday, Trump was asked if he would attend Biden’s inauguration.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” he said.
The president expressed his frustration with the Supreme Court over its decision to throw out a Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn election results in four battleground states including, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
“The Supreme Court, all they did is say we don’t have standing. So they’re saying essentially that the president of the United States and Texas and these other states, great states, they don’t have standing,” Trump said.

Trump, instead of answering the question, falsely reiterated he won the election.
“I worry about the country having an illegitimate president. That’s what I worry about, a president that lost and lost badly. This wasn’t like a close election. You look at Georgia. We won Georgia big. We won Pennsylvania big. We won Wisconsin big. We won it big,” Trump said.

Trump unleashed a tweet-storm Friday to stress he does not acknowledge Biden as president-elect, as IJR previously reported.
“How can you give an election to someone who lost the election by hundreds of thousands of legal votes in each of the swing states. How can a country be run by an illegitimate president?” Trump said.
He also wrote on Twitter Friday, “The Biden Administration will be a scandal plagued mess for years to come.”
Conservative groups staged protests across the nation in support of Trump Saturday after the news of the Supreme Court decision spread, as IJR previously reported.
The Electoral College is expected to vote on the election on Monday.
