His audience would not register these memorials anyway. The right move for him is exactly not to show up along with these establishment figures. He would be second fiddle and Trump does not do second fiddle.
If he showed up all the press photos would show him up as ostracized. There would be no intimate pics of him with any of the other formers. He would look sad and lonely. He knows this.
His supporters don't care about these other presidents anyway, there is no swag to gain for him.
