Trump branded “embarrassment to his country” as he shuns Biden inauguration
President Trump has announced he won’t be attending the inauguration of his successor, Joe Biden, just hours after promising a peaceful transition.
He will become the first US president to miss the ceremony in more than 150 years.
Joe Biden said the decision was a good thing and it was one of the only things they’d ever agreed on. He said President Trump was an embarrassment to his country.
