Trump to flee DC early Wednesday before Biden inauguration

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. only the "worst firsts" for that mind numbing asshole

2. He probably can't stand the idea of not leaving Washington on Air Force One.

3. The helicopter could be taking him to Air Force One

Or possibly even to a private aircraft heading for an undisclosed location in a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S.

4. Why AF 1? why not the tRump jet. Is this normal?.. wait... nothing is normal with this idiot... nt

12. Obama left on the presidential 747 (It isn't AF 1 unless the president is onboard)

5. Normally

A decent respectful departing president goes to the inauguration ceremony then he’s 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 couldn’t bear the indignity of flying after Joe was sworn in.

Not surprisingly, what a wildly insecure jerk off.

6. And Nixon, when he resigned, left in a helicopter nt

10. They said Trump did not want to have to ask Biden for permission

to use the plane after he was no longer president. They also said it caused an issue because Trump has to have the nuclear case with him. Yet once Biden is sworn in he must have it. 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. Trump’s will automatically deactivate at noon.

14. There is more than one "football".

There has to be in case a POTUS is killed along with his entourage.

7. Interesting, since a number of posts here on DU in the last several days talked of a big

military send off.

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

8. CNN said ...

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.

9. I hope he trips on the red carpet.

13. The media should simply not cover it.

He’s only doing it for the teevee anyway.

15. "designed by Trump, giving him the send off he thinks he deserves".....and.......

And AND..He knows MSM will be all over it and will be memorialized for posterior er, ops posterity..
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."

11. because the focus won't be on him
