Apparently, Trump wants to leave Washington on the morning of his inauguration.

There is already a spirit of optimism in the White House.

Update from January 16, 6.44 p.m

.: Bizarre news from the

White House

does not

stop

:

Donald Trump

is said to have commissioned his employees in the house

to provide

him with good

poll

numbers.

Employees had been given the task of

printing

out

such

survey results

and hanging them up for him, which make him appear in a positive light.

And that is bizarre because there are probably only a few surveys that still promise broad support for him - in fact, his values ​​have been on the

decline

since the storm on the

Capitol

.

"My fans are still behind me" - the

US President

apparently

wants to have this impression

confirmed.

Because he no longer has his own social media accounts, he is said to have suggested that these surveys be distributed via government accounts.

US President Donald Trump's last days in office: Mike Pence takes over his duties

Update from January 16, 2021, 5:14 p.m

.: On his last days in office, the incumbent US President Trump does not shine with enthusiasm for the American people: As insiders report,

Vice President Mike Pence

had taken on

offering support to

his successor,

Kamala Harris

.

That's what the

Wall Street Journal

writes

.

It is also Trump's task to visit the National Guard, which is preparing to protect the Capitol at

Biden's inauguration

.

Pence

took

over

this

instead of

Trump

.

Meanwhile in the

White House

,

Trump

is said

to have pressured his confidants with questions: Who could have been the ten

Republicans

who voted against him in the impeachment process?

He wanted to know whether he had already done them a favor - and how he could possibly

harm

them

politically

in future

elections

.

Donald Trump wants to leave the White House - Biden's inauguration takes place without him

First report from January 16, 2021, 10:43 a.m

.: Washington -

Donald Trump

apparently

wants

to leave

Washington

on the morning of his successor

Joe Biden's

inauguration

, according to various media reports.

For example, the broadcaster

Fox News

and the

Washington Post

had learned from government circles that

Trump -

shortly before

Biden is

sworn in in the Capitol -

wants to leave

the

White House

behind and leave for Florida.

A few days ago,

Trump announced

via

Twitter

that he would not attend the inauguration ceremony * of his successor

Biden

.

Trump's

presence at the ceremony would be political, but it has no legal effect.

Biden

is

sworn in

as the new

president

even without his predecessor

.

After the US election: Trump plans to take some employees with him

The

Washington Post

writes that

Trump is

instead planning a farewell ceremony for himself at the military airfield outside Washington, from where the government aviator Air Force One takes off.

It has never happened in this form before, the report says.

Fox News reported that

Trump also

wants to take several employees from the

White House *

to

Florida

, where he has his club resort Mar-a-Lago.

Trump's

deputy

Mike Pence

has recently taken on public tasks in connection with the upcoming swearing-in.

Biden

had

explicitly invited

Pence

to the inauguration * -

according to

US media

,

Pence

also

wants

to participate.

On Thursday,

Trump's

deputy met with the heads of several security agencies to find out about the security at the ceremony.

On Friday,

US media reported

unanimously, citing unspecified sources, that Pence also called the future

US Vice President Kamala Harris

on Thursday

to congratulate her on her election victory and - belatedly - to offer her direct support in handing over office.

Donald Trump's term of office is coming to an end: employees loot the White House

But in addition to the

US President

himself, his employees are also leaving the White House one by one.

In this context, some irritating photos have now appeared.

They show that with

Trump's

workforce, one or the other object disappears from the

White House.

This is illegal.

These photos belong to the American people, and go to the National Archives.

For example,

economist Peter Navarro

was seen

carrying

a picture of an appointment between

Chinese President Xi Jinping

and

Donald Trump

with his personal effects from the

White House

.

Navarro

is known for a strict economic nationalism, also against

China

.

The top

economic advisor Larry Kudlow

apparently took the

liberty of buying

a memento from his workplace in

Washington *

take away: a bust of

Abraham Lincoln

.

An unspecified woman carried a stuffed pheasant out of the building.

More stuff being moved out of West Wing.

This appears to be a stuffed bird.

"People have to understand that the items in the 

White House are

 not giveaways," commented

CNN

correspondent Jim Acosta on the pictures.

“These are not souvenirs that you can take home with you.”
