Donald Trump regularly made headlines during his four-year term.
Even on his last day in office, he breaks with tradition.
Now his anger could be fueled again.
Donald Trump's
term as US President ends on January 20, 2021 at 12 noon local time (6 p.m. CET).
The
inauguration ceremony of
Joe Biden
Trump will stay away.
Now the anger of
Donald Trump
could be fueled again
(update from January 20, 9:30 a.m.)
.
Nevertheless, it seems conceivable that the outgoing president
will want to draw attention to himself
on the day of
inauguration
.

Update from January 20, 9:30 a.m.:
The outgoing
US President Donald Trump
defended
his
government
balance sheet
in his farewell speech
.
Despite all the criticism, Trump seems certain of his successes.
In a video address on
Tuesday, the
Republican
claimed numerous successes in domestic, economic and foreign policy: "We have restored American strength at home - and American leadership abroad." At the same time,
Trump
called
for prayer for the
government of
his successor
Joe Biden
without
even mentioning
the
Democrat
by name.
"Together with millions of hard-working patriots across the country, we have built the greatest political movement in the history of this country," said
Trump
in the
nearly 20-minute speech recorded
in the
White House
.
Donald Trump
is even certain that he has “built the greatest economy in the history of the world” overall.
The fight against the
corona pandemic
was also successful.
Although so far around 400,000 people in the
USA have
officially died as a result of
corona disease
.
Donald Trump: Inauguration could fuel anger of the outgoing US President again
Donald Trump made
no
mention of
his future
successor
in his speech, and Trump has not yet clearly admitted his defeat in the presidential election.
Although
the outgoing US president condemned the
storming of the Capitol
, Donald Trump said to his supporters: "The movement that we have started is only the beginning."
However, the anger of the 74-year-old could
be fueled again
this
Wednesday
.
As reported by the
Washington Post
,
Donald Trump
is said to be
from the cast of celebrities at the
Inauguration and the subsequent celebration will be anything but enthusiastic.
Accordingly,
mega stars
such as
Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga are
said to have announced themselves.
A circumstance that
Donald Trump
could not expect when he was inaugurated.
At that time, numerous stars had declined an invitation, including mega-star Elton John.
Donald Trump's bitterest day: plans for inauguration are now clear - survey slap on the exit
Original message:
Washington, DC - At the end of his term in office,
Donald Trump is
not the center of attention for once - at least according to the official plans.
Trump does not attend the
inauguration
, the ceremony with which his
successor Joe Biden is introduced
to office and dignity.
Dignity - a term that Trump interpreted very individually during his four-year presidency.
The consequences of his lies, flirtations with right-wing extremists and Twitter derailments become clear on the last day of his term in office: he leaves Washington prematurely,
isolated
from his
party friends
and with catastrophic poll results.
The
polling institute Gallup
found an
approval rate of only 34 percent
, the lowest value since Trump's inauguration.
Donald Trump on the day of Joe Biden's inauguration:
The institute sees the main reason for Trump's rejection in the US population in the role of the president in the
storming of the Capitol on January 6th
.
In a speech, Trump incited his militant supporters
to protest
against the
official confirmation in
front of the Capitol
.
The result was a
spiral of violence
that killed five people.
Democrats see Trump as the cause of the explosion of violence, so
impeachment proceedings were initiated
.
The House of Representatives voted in favor of the motion, but approval in the Senate is still uncertain.
Whatever the outcome, Trump's term in office did not leave its mark.
Just as little as in the
USA
.
It is feared that there will
be riots in
Washington
on the day of the
inauguration
.
Donald Trump: Financial difficulties and impending legal proceedings
Even if Trump considered the possibility of
pardoning himself and his family
, he will not take that step.
As
CNN
reports, a self-
pardon
could be
interpreted
as an
"admission of guilt"
.
An impression that Trump wants to prevent.
It is likely that the outgoing US president
will face
legal difficulties
after the end of his term of office
: His influence on electoral officers in his campaign against his defeat, previous hush money payments to alleged lovers and the sometimes opaque activities of his business empire put a strain on the US president.
Failed to escape from Scotland?
It is a good tradition that the elected president
congratulates
his successor after the
inauguration ceremony
.
As on so many occasions before, this time Trump is breaking a tradition.
He will not take part in the event
, he announced via his now
blocked Twitter account
.
As a result, there was much speculation about where Donald Trump would be during Joe Biden's inauguration.
A source told the
Sunday Post
that a
US military aircraft was due to
arrive at Prestwick Airport in Scotland on
January 19th
.
The special type of aircraft is a machine that is "normally used by the vice-president, but often also by the first lady," the
Sunday Post
quoted
the informant
as saying
.
The background: Donald Trump owns the
"Trump Turnberry Resort"
, a golf club
in Scotland
.
However, the Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon refused entry to Trump.
Donald Trump: Inauguration Day with the family in Florida?
Instead of going to Scotland, the US President will
flee to Florida
in
Air Force One
.
More precisely, in his fortress-like
retreat, Mar-a-Lago
.
Surrounded by his most loyal supporters, Trump wants to recover from the election slump and set the course for the future by gathering his family around him.
In the meantime, there was also a rumor that Trump was planning a counter-event in Florida.
The
New York Times
claims to have learned from the environment of the current president that this
has become unlikely after the latest events
.
As reported by the
Washington Post
, Trump's adult children want to move to Florida.
Ivanka Trump in
particular is
said to have ambitions as a politician.
Even if Trump's presidency ends today, Trump will continue to dominate the headlines for longer.
