Donald Trump finally speaks on Joe Biden’s inauguration

The outgoing United States President, Donald Trump, has finally spoken about the inauguration ceremony of the President-elect, Joe Biden.

Trump said he would not attend the inauguration of Democrat Party’s Joe Biden as the new president of the United States.

The embattled president made this known in a tweet on his Twitter handle on Friday, January 8, hours after the ban on his account was lifted by the micro-blogging platform.

He tweets:

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th”.

Trump had promised he would ensure a smooth and orderly transition into new presidency slated for Wednesday, January 20.

On Thursday, January 7, Trump had conceded to President-elect Joe Biden after protracted bickering on purported electoral fraud.

Mr. Trump’s concession comes moments after the country’s parliament affirmed Biden’s Electoral College victory, American news network CNN is reporting.

The outgoing U.S. leader, who lost his reelection bid in the hotly contested November poll, described his controversial and largely tumultuous first tenure as the “greatest first term in presidential history,” the media outlet said Thursday morning.

Joe Biden had also been confirmed as the next president of the United States after his victory was confirmed by members of both chambers of the United States Congress.

Mr. Biden surpassed the crucial 270 mark in the Electoral College votes on Thursday morning, affirming him as the 46th President of the United States.
