Deleterious Dorito Donald Trump will be inaugurated today for a second term, but several celebrities won’t be tuning in to watch. Many of these prominent figures have been outspoken critics of the 78-year-old Republican’s policies, inflammatory remarks, and controversial actions during his first term. From Hollywood icons to music legends and politicians, these notable stars have made it clear they have little support for his presidency and are unlikely to celebrate his return to power.

Ayanna Pressley, the U.S. representative for Massachusetts’s 7th congressional district, will not be attending President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20. Coincidentally, Trump’s inauguration coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day that Rep. Pressley said she will dedicate to honoring the life and legacy of the civil rights icon.
“I plan to spend the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in my district at community events that feed our collective soul and re-commit us to building a future rooted in love,” Pressley said in a statement to The Boston Globe on Jan. 14.
To honor Dr. King’s dedication to civil rights and equality, the Democrat will spend the day giving back to the Black community in the 7th District by hosting a series of workshops led by local and grassroots organizations. While several speakers are expected to participate, event details are still being finalized, according to The Boston Globe.
Pressley expressed her opposition to Trump’s upcoming presidency in a statement on Tuesday, saying she is focusing on organizing and mobilizing in preparation for what lies ahead under the 78-year-old president’s next term.
“As we prepare to mitigate the most harmful and hateful policy decisions that will come from the Trump White House, I will be in the Massachusetts 7th to help organize and mobilize our collective power that honors Dr. King’s vision of justice and equity for everyone who calls Massachusetts and America home,” Pressley added.
