President Donald Trump plans to move to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida after leaving the White House on the morning of January 20, Bloomberg reported.
According to the report, Trump will depart the White House for the Palm Beach resort on the morning of January 20, just before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The report fleshes out details of Trump’s final hours in office. According to CNN, Trump is determined to leave DC before his presidency ends, and aides hope to assemble a large crowd of supports to send him off.
Breaking with long tradition, Trump will not attend the ceremony where his successor will be sworn in, which will be protected by an unprecedented security operation following the riot at the US Capitol which Trump is accused of inciting.
Several White House aides plan to accompany him and work for him at Mar-a-Lago, including “body man” Nick Luna, sources close to Trump told the outlet.
Members of the president’s family are also expected to head for Florida as part of a Trump family exodus from their longtime homes in New York City.
Prosecutors in New York are investigating the Trump Organization and city authorities have severed contracts with Trump’s businesses in the wake of the Capitol riot, which led to Trump’s second impeachment on Wednesday.
The president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, will be moving to Miami, according to a slew of recent reports, including Bloomberg’s. Both served as White House advisors in the Trump administration.
Trump often visited Mar-a-Lago during his term as president, bringing to reality the dream that it would become a “winter White House” which went back as far as the 1970s, long before Trump owned it.
The president hosted foreign leaders and dignitaries there and even sounded out policy ideas with high-profile guests and members.
Some Palm Beach residents have started a campaign to stop Trump living there permanently, claiming that he was only granted permission to turn it into a club and resort on condition that it wasn’t his permanent residence.
