Summary

Former Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Bush, along with Hillary Clinton, will not attend Trump’s inaugural lunch. Bush did not receive an invitation.

However, all three former presidents and their spouses, except Michelle Obama, will attend Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.

The inaugural lunch, a tradition since 1897, typically includes speeches and toasts for the new administration.

None of the living former presidents endorsed Trump’s candidacy, with Obama and Clinton actively campaigning for his opponents.

    Did you expect Obama (of all people) to be unkind at another man’s (let alone a former president’s) funeral?
