Also, Melanie has not hosted a welcome for Dr. Biden as she enjoyed from Michelle Obama. Part of me wishes they would've invited the Bidens over just so they could say "Nah, that's okay. We know where everything is and how everything works; we've already spent eight years here during Obama's two terms."

If he was just worried about saving his own ass, he would leave DC the day before or even now. He just can’t stand for anyone else to be the center of attention. And he’s probably furious that his attempts to steal or overturn the election failed. Also, we know how much he admires dictators and likes North Korea style parades. Remember the July 4th celebration where he ordered armored tanks into DC? He’s probably thinking he would like and deserves a send off like that. He had indicated the he was leaving the 19th... They were talkimg about having the day for the Covid cleaning. (And to sweep for any unwanted/illegally placed devices etc!)

They could shoot him out of a cannon in the direction of Florida. Cannons are kind of military, aren’t they? And we have a winner!

He wins. Pomp and circumstances. Military participates. Color guard, red carpet. But still in restricted access Andrews AF Base.. more in discussions. He doesn't want to look a loser.

Maybe they want to make sure he really leaves, and that's one way to accomplish it.

He doesn't deserve it and I hate that he might get anything at all, but at least he is leaving DC.
It would be nice if he could see a bunch of anti trump signs right before or after he lands in Florida.
Either way, he won't be in charge anymore

It would be great if Trump had to switch mid-flight to a commercial airline lol. As it is he's (unfortunately) entitled to the pomp and circumstance of the Presidency until Biden is sworn. H "Does a former president have the right to use "Air Force 1" on the day he leaves office? Yes. We know this because Richard Nixon did this very thing, with Marine 1 and then Air Force 1. He and his family entered the helicopter as president, shortly there-after he entered Air Force 1. When Gerald Ford took the oath of office a few minutes later, Nixon did not all of sudden have to land and get off the plane. They just changed the call sign. "

If he is on Air Force One when Biden is sworn in he will not take the nuclear codes/football off the plane and they will have been deactivated.

I couldn't believe it when I saw that this morning. But I guess I should, that sounds like him! But isn't the military in DC because of how dangerous he and his cult are? That's his send off! Can;t wait to get him out of DC! I know we are stuck paying for secret service for him for life (unless he is convicted in the senate trial, I don't know the appropriate wording). But we aren't on the hook for his loser ADULT offspring, correct?

I preordered $60 worth of inauguration-themed cupcakes for our house and I'm not sorry.
A cannon is too good for him. Get the trebuchet.

He should get what prisoners get when they get out of jail, a few bucks and a paper bag for their personal belongings. Awww heck, were not animals. Gives him a one way voucher for Uber too.

I just read in another thread that there will NOT be a military send-off. hmm, I’ll go see if I can find the link. The article linked in that thread was written yesterday. As of late this afternoon, ABC reported that Trump is expecting a military send-off from Andrews AFB on the morning of the inauguration. They were talking about on the evening news tonight. Trump is hell-bent on flying to Florida on Air Force One, so wants to have a big affair at Andrews. Well, at least Andrews is easily locked down to keep out his yahoos.

Come on you guys. He has served his four years and deserves a send off. My vote is for a 21 gun salute.

John Dean was on ?? we were watching. John Dean said that DT gets furious if Richard Nixon is mentioned in same category as DT. John Dean said that Trump has made Richard Nixon look good.
Dean also said DT carries a red carpet with him and if the place where he is traveling does not roll out a red carpet, then DT provides one. I wonder if he will try to continue that tradition in his private life.

My guess is that he will stall his departure so he is flying over at the time of the inauguration, causing a disruption

I do hope these two sources are correct. I read that Defense One article before Trump’s people even announced a military send off at the airfield (the other article seems to retread the Defense One article), and it seems it’s referencing a different type of event. There’s traditionally a military “farewell“ event, NOT planned this year, that takes place at a base, but it’s before the last day in office and it’s not centered around the president’s actual physical departure. The president thanks the troops and gives some speech rah-rah-ing his use of the military. I don’t think anybody has nixed a request for a ceremonial military fa la la as his plane takes off. That request would be within his rights as Commander in Chief. I would hope the military could stem any efforts to have it happen minutes (seconds!) before the swearing-in - but they’ve never encountered this situation before as an outgoing president is always AT the swearing-in. (Though I wouldn’t put it past him to show up late in an effort to draw attention.)
