Donald Trump plans to hold unprecedented military 'farewell event' with a 21-gun salute, color guard and martial music when he boards Air Force One for Mar-a-Lago on morning of Biden's inauguration
President Donald Trump will hold an unprecedented farewell event at Joint Base Andrews the morning of Joe Biden's inauguration
He will hold it at the base where Air Force One is headquartered
He'll then fly to Mar-a-Lago before Biden takes the oath of office
That makes unlikely he and Melania will host Joe and Jill for traditional coffee
But it will let Trump use call sign 'Air Force One' for his flight to Florida

There'd be not a damn thing he could do before he wasn't in charge anymore.

He's just awful. Just a bad human, in general. Not one single thing is worthy of praise. Even Hitler and Nixon loved dogs.

If only Speaker Pelosi could send 21 articles to the Senate, that would add significance to his salute.

(63,221 posts)Is this for real? Does he realy how absolutely ridiculous he is going to look? He is a complete failure as a president. He is a loser in every sense of the word. What makes him think he deserves this, especially since he was a draft dodging coward who has always run away from every challenge in his life?
Ugh! I'd approve a 21-gun salute if they were pointed AT him.
Kidding! Kind of.
