1. Hell no.
His job for Tuesday is to show up and hand the keys to the Oval Office to someone who won't fuck things up. Nothing more.

2. He doesn't have to even be there....
...it's only a custom, not a law.

Some presidents have punted.

3. Will there be an opportunity for people to 'boo' him, or sing that 'Na, na, na, na' song?

4. In a word, no
he'll just sit there and smirk. Count on it.

Hopefully, we have heard the last public address from the boy wonder.

7. He's done enough swearing already...
"The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper"

Of course, this sets the score straight... but it's not going to stop me from poking a little innocent fun...

The asshole in chief can now retire to Texas and be forgotten as torturer in chief.
