Outgoing President of the United States, Donald Trump, left the White House on Wednesday, four hours before Joe Biden’s inauguration as the country’s new president, and said goodbye to the Americans with a final speech in which, in addition to his management he anticipated a possible political return: “We will return somehow.”
The White House had summoned the media at 8 a.m. (local time), after which the helicopter that Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, later boarded, landed next to the presidential building to bid farewell to their former home for the past four years. Before boarding Marine One, he told reporters it was “a great honor” to be the commander in chief of the United States.
The helicopter took him to Andrews Base in Maryland, where he delivered his last speech as president, defending, again without script, the “amazing” work of his administration. Trump himself has admitted that he has not led a “current administration”, although he has done so in order to applaud policies in various areas, from the military to the economic, even through the judiciary or health care.
Therefore, he expressed his condolences to the relatives of the people who died of the coronavirus and stressed that under his leadership the ‘miracle’ of a vaccine against COVID-19 was achieved within nine months.
“Remember us,” he said, defending that despite the “obstacles”, he “gave everything on the field.” “I’ll always fight for you. I’ll watch. I’ll listen,” added Trump, wishing the Biden administration “good luck” as they “have the fundamentals to do something spectacular in the next four years.”
Following Trump’s departure from the White House, it is revealed that both he and his wife have left a welcome message for prospective tenants, according to sources quoted by CNN, who have been unable to clarify the content of these messages.
AN INVESTMENT WITHOUT THE OUTGOING PRESIDENT
Biden, for his part, spent the night at the Blair House, the official guest residence in Washington. The day of the new president, who has already celebrated on Twitter as “a new day in the United States,” has started with a mass attended by his vice president, Kamala Harris, before the group travels to headquarters. of the North American Congress.
Unlike other inaugurations, Trump had already announced that he would not attend his successor and does not intend to meet with him after repeatedly denouncing fraud resulting from his defeat, without providing evidence.
Despite this, the outgoing president already assured in a video on Tuesday that he “ prays ” that the Biden Executive will “ succeed in keeping the United States safe and prosperous, ” as he explored the attack on the Capitol by dozens of his supporters on Jan. .
The attack took place during the vote in Congress to confirm Biden’s victory in the presidential election, something that took place after a few hours’ delay. Trump, who has promised an “orderly” transition, will be subject to a second impeachment – the first president in the country’s history to be subject to two resignations – for “instigating insurrection.”
