WASHINGTON – If he sticks to the schedule, President Donald Trump will spend his final minutes in office at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Trump is expected to be at the Palm Beach club, which he dubbed the “Winter White House,” when the clock strikes noon on Wednesday, ending a contentious presidential term that closed with days of seclusion after a riot the U.S. Capitol and will be capped with a final military send-off at Joint Base Andrews.
Barring a schedule change, the White House has invited hundreds of supporters to a pomp-and-circumstance ceremony at the air base, one expected to feature a red carpet and military color guard – and perhaps a preview of another Trump presidential run in 2024.
“As I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at Noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning,” Trump said in a taped “farewell address” released Tuesday
Trump, the first president in more than 150 years to refuse to attend the inauguration of his successor, instead has a solitary schedule that takes him from the White House residence to Mar-a-Lago on inauguration morning.
