Agence France-Presse via Raw Story
By the time Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th US president Wednesday, his scandal-tainted predecessor Donald Trump will already be far away, having helicoptered out of the White House a last time earlier that morning, an official said Friday.
Trump will be the first president in a century and a half to snub the inauguration of his successor.
An official who asked not to be identified said Trump would go to his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida, which is his legal residence and will become home after the White House.
He is expected to be out of town well before Biden is sworn in on the steps of the Capitol building at exactly noon.

(1,690 posts)A decent respectful departing president goes to the inauguration ceremony then hes politely bid goodbye from the new president and the first lady and the Marine helicopter that does not use the Marine 1 call sign takes him and the now former first lady to Andrews and then they depart on the 747 that is Air Force 1 but since the former president is no longer president, the call sign is I believe 29,000 that is used when calls are made to air-traffic control.
So supposedly this evil clown wanted to leave before noon on Wednesday so that he would still be on Air Force 1 because he couldnt bear the indignity of flying after Joe was sworn in.
Not surprisingly, what a wildly insecure jerk off.

Usually it is not a problem because they just hand it over at the inauguration. However, since dumbo will not be there they will have two cases. Trumps will automatically deactivate at noon.

And merde-a-lago cannot be his legal residence, per the agreement he signed in 1993.

(34,195 posts)At the airport Trump will be met by a military band
a red carpet will be lying on the tarmac for him to walk on towards the stairs of the airplane.
Troops will be lined up on both sides of the red carpet to salute him as he walks by.
Apparently this was all designed by Trump, giving him the send off he thinks he deserves.

I think it would be great if one of the color guard gives him a wack in the ass as he accents the stairs saying..... "Donny, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out."
