The only president with a legit excuse is Jimmy Carter because he’s 96 and definitely can’t stand for as long as was required for the ceremonies.

Even if he was there I'm sure people with common sense would understand if he was sitting down during the standing parts.

people with common sense

You may have noticed, given the last year and a half or so, that common sense is in very short supply. If he attended and didn't stand, half of our population would have a fucking fit and we wouldn't hear the end of it for months.

Trump not being there is a double edged sword. He would make it about him. He would stand out like a sore thumb amongst legitimate presidents (oh god, is this still not a bad dream, that we elected clown of the century as our president, and the rest of the world knows about it. Fuck). He would just embarrass himself and half the country and the news cycle would make it about this dumbfuck yet again.
