I would think not. No one could blame the Clintons for passing this one up.

Another interesting question--think the Bushes will show up? They had no use for Hair Fuehrer, and in fact, wouldn't even vote for him.

He was there for Trump's wedding. Can't he just be happy for his friend?

Despite recent rhetoric regarding the former U.S. president, years before he secured the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election—a feat acknowledged Thursday—Donald Trump and Bill Clinton were longtime friends.


“I like him. And I love playing golf with him,” Clinton said in a May 2012 interview with CNN, according to transcripts. He spoke highly of Trump, despite the real estate tycoon’s prominent role in the so-called “birther” movement, wherein he spent months publicly questioning President Barack Obama’s original birth certificate. Trump, speaking to Fox News earlier that same year, said he thought Clinton was “a really good guy.”

I'm sure Bill Clinton didn't want Trump to win. I'm sure HRC is very upset. Still, I don't know that Bill will end a friendship over it.
