Update from January 22, 4:20 p.m.:

It

doesn't

seem to be looking

particularly good

for

Trump

after the end of his

term in office

.

In his new residence, the luxury complex

Mar-a-Lago

, he is

legally only

allowed to

live three weeks a year,

according to the

picture

.

So far,

Trump had run

the

resort

as a club to save taxes.

In

1993 he contractually assured the authorities

that

Mar-a-Lago is

not his

place of residence

.

Now the neighbors are said to have complained that a

lawyer

is said to have suggested to the mayor by letter that

Trump

look for

another

place of residence

.

Financially, too, things are

not

looking

particularly rosy

for the

ex-president

.

As a result of the

corona pandemic,

income from its companies has shrunk by almost 38 percent, as

reported by

the

New York Times

.

Bloomberg

calculates

Trump's

total wealth at just $ 2.5 billion.

Compared to before he

took office

, that is 500 million euros less.

Trump informs himself in the background about the consequences of impeachment

Update from January 21, 7:20 p.m.:

Even about the maximum affront, a counter-event to the

inauguration of Joe Biden

, had been speculated - in the end it was surprisingly quiet about

Donald Trump

on the day of his departure from the White House

.

So quiet that the question arose what the elected ex-president actually did during the historic hours in his

Florida

domicile

.

The Daily Beast

portal now claims to have found out the answer

: Allegedly, Trump spent the day talking on the phone - to find out how great the danger is

for him

from the impeachment proceedings

that are

still ongoing

.

The ex-president had asked for one, as many members of the

Republican

in the

Senate

could vote against him.

On the other hand, he asked about possible legal counsel.

This is what the website wants to know from two sources.

Trump can no longer be removed from office given the transfer of power to Biden that has already taken place.

However, an

impeachment could

potentially

have a

major impact on the Republican's further political career plans: If, contrary to expectations, there was a two-thirds majority in the Senate against Trump, the Republican would be denied a hypothetical second term in the White House.

The

House of Representatives

has already given the go-ahead for the process.

Meanwhile, Trump

started

his first full day as ex-president with a round of

golf

: The 74-year-old was spotted on the lawn of his golf club in Florida by photojournalists for the news channel CNN on Thursday.

He had also played golf regularly during his tenure, especially on the weekends.

Meanwhile, it also seems clear that Trump not only messed with a large part of his party friends after the storm on the Capitol - but also with his supporters from the far-right milieu *.

Trump's era ended: Pence speaks on Twitter

Update from January 21, 3:14 p.m.:

Former Vice President

Mike Pence

commented

on Twitter.

"I thank you for the privilege of serving as your Vice President for the past four years, it has been the greatest honor of my life," Pence wrote on his Twitter account.

"On behalf of my wonderful second lady,

Karen Pence

, and our entire family, thank you and God save America." Pence has also provided some photos from his time in office.

What is particularly striking about the closing remarks by the former Vice President is that he

does not mention

Donald Trump in

one word.

Pence had already broken away from

Trump

more and more in the past few days

.

This tweet should now be seen as an affirmation of the distance between him and the former

US president

.

Thank you for the privilege of serving as your Vice President these past four years, it has been the greatest honor of my life.

On behalf of our Wonderful Second Lady, Karen Pence, and our entire Family, Thank You and God Bless America.

Update from January 21, 7:12 a.m.:

It wasn't a nice Wednesday evening

for

Donald Trump

- at least as far as his political legacy is concerned.

After a short time in office, his successor

Joe Biden

revised

Trump's first projects that were

close to his

heart.

Among other things, Biden withdrew the financial basis for the construction of the Wall to Mexico, stopped the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization, initiated the return to the Paris climate agreement and lifted the entry ban

for people from several predominantly Muslim countries.

Trump was not present at Joe Biden's swearing-in on Wednesday.

Instead, he flew to his

Mar-a-Lago

property

(see update from January 20, 5:15 p.m.).

That

a star contingent celebrated the assumption of office of Joe Biden

in

Washington, DC in

the evening (local time)

must have annoyed him all the more.

Four years ago there were repeated rejections from the music and film industry.

Biden, on the other hand, was able to listen to the voices of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and John Legend, among others.

Donald Trump leaves a letter to his successor Joe Biden - what does it say?

Update from January 20, 11:45 p.m.: US President Joe Biden

informed the US media that

Donald Trump

had left him a "very generous letter".

It is tradition that the outgoing US President leaves a letter to the White House for his successor.

Trump stuck to this, even if he did not attend

Biden's inauguration

and is now in Florida.

Joe Biden,

sitting

at the so-called

Resolute Desk

in the US President's office, gave no information

about the content of the letter

: "Because it was private, I won't talk about it until I talk to him."

Melania Trump's time as first lady is over - she ends up in Florida in a brightly colored outfit and a smile

Update from January 20, 9:30 p.m.:

With

Donald Trump's presidency

, Melania's time as

first lady is

over.

That should be a relief for her, considering her frustration, which she

made clear

in the so-called

Melania tapes

.

Or their desire to “just go home”.

Photos from Wednesday, the last time the couple left the White House, revealed something unusual on their faces.

A smile.

If you look at the pictures of the arrival of the Trumps, something else catches your eye.

Melania Trump

changed her outfit while on the flight to Palm Beach, Florida, where the family plans to settle.

If she was previously dressed in black, she left the plane in Florida in a brightly colored dress.

And this time too: a smile.

Donald Trump extends personal protection for his children - POTUS account now belongs to Joe Biden

Update from January 20, 8 p.m.:

Before

Donald Trump

left the office of the US President, he signed a memorandum.

With this act, he extended the protection of his children by the

US secret service

by half a year, as CNN reports with reference to a high-ranking official.

Usually this protection applies to children of former presidents up to the age of 16.

With Trump's decree, the

Secret Service's

personal protection

now

protects

all of his children and not just his youngest son

Barron

.

Update from January 20, 7:48 p.m.:

Twitter

has transferred the official accounts of the US President -

POTUS

- and the Vice President to

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

.

The two Democrats did not take over the followers of their predecessors, as is usual.

In the future,

the 46th US President Joe Biden

will be tweeting as

POTUS

.

As of today, FLOTUS is

Dr.

Jill Biden

the honor and replaces

Melania Trump

as

first lady

.

Greta Thunberg with tweet: Climate activist says goodbye to Trump on Twitter full of ridicule

Update from January 20th, 6.30pm:

“He looks like a very happy old man who is looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.

It's so nice to see ”.

With these words, the

Swedish climate activist

Greta Thunberg

mockingly

adopted

Donald Trump on Twitter.

Plus a photo of the former US President standing on the steps of a helicopter and raising his fist.

Trump tweeted in 2019 after her emotional speech at the

United Nations in New York

: “She looks like a very happy young girl who is looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.

So nice to see! "

The latest exchange of blows between

Thunberg

and Trump.

He asked the 18-year-old to “chill” in an earlier tweet.

Thunberg responded by asking Trump to “chill” after he questioned the election victory of the 46th US President

Joe Biden

.

On both occasions, the climate activists used almost identical wording by Donald Trump.

.: Isolated like never before - almost like an outlaw -

Donald Trump left

the White House and Washington on Wednesday.

He is

staying away from

today's inauguration of his successor

Joe Biden

(see previous update)

.

Instead, the Trumps are currently on their way to their residence in

Mar-a-Lago

in Palm Beach - but if the reports are to be believed, they are not particularly welcome there: According to

Politico

, the

neighborhood fears

that not only the ex- President will live next door.

But his family, loyalists and conservative media who could follow their “president into exile”.

Trump goodbye: We will return in some form

Update from January 20, 3:15 p.m.:

Now the still incumbent

US President is

on the

way to his

Mar-a-Lago

property

in the state of Florida

with the

Air Force One presidential

plane

.

"That was four unbelievable years," Trump said in front of family members, employees and supporters at the Air Force base Joint Base Andrews, where he was greeted with a 21 gun salute.

Once again, the right-wing populist claimed numerous political successes for himself.

He wished the Biden government "good luck and good luck" and at the same time announced: "We will come back in some way."

Trump's term

ends at 12:00 noon (6:00 p.m. CET) when the new President Biden is sworn in.

Trump is the first president in 152 years to avoid the inauguration of his successor.

Donald Trump is leaving the White House for the last time - hand in hand with his wife Melania

Update from January 20, 2:34 p.m.:

First

Donald Trump

leaves

the machine, closely followed by

Melania Trump

.

A rare picture: the two hold each other's hand again.

Some supporters cheer the still incumbent US President, gun salutes are fired.

The Trumps family has also gathered on the military site.

In a short speech, Trump not only thanks his supporters, Trump also expressly thanks his wife.

Melania herself also addresses short words to the public.

The

first lady

will never forget the time at her husband's side.

And in this speech too, Donald Trump once again praised his own performance.

Economically, the country has recovered very well, and the

corona pandemic

then

thwarted

the US's bill.

"The numbers will continue to be great if you leave it as we did," said Trump.

“You can't work harder than what we've done,” says Donald Trump, convinced of himself and his performance.

Update from January 20, 2:30 p.m.:

Donald Trump and his wife Melania are landing with the helicopter at the Andrews military airfield at this moment.

His bitterest day: Trump is NOW leaving the White House live for the last time - and causing a stir about nuclear cases

Update from January 20, 2:13 p.m.:

Donald Trump is leaving the White House for the last time at this moment.

At his side is his wife and first-lady Melania Trump.

Dressed all in black, the two run hand in hand to the helicopter, and they will shortly be flying to Florida.

The flight to Andrews military airfield now takes about ten minutes, where Donald Trump will presumably be bid farewell with a gun salute.

Update from January 20, 2:10 p.m.:

He has been expected for a few minutes, but Donald Trump is still waiting. A helicopter is waiting in front of the White House.

Update from January 20, 1 p.m.:

In just under an hour,

Donald Trump is

leaving

Washington

, the outgoing US President will not be present at the inauguration of his successor.

With his decision, the 74-year-old not only caused a scandal, his absence turns the inauguration process logistically upside down.

First of all

,

Trump

takes

the legendary

nuclear suitcase

with him to

Florida

, after all, the incumbent president has innumerable nuclear weapons at his disposal at all times.

The second in which Joe Biden's successor is sworn in, however, he has control of the nuclear weapons.

As

CNN

reports, a solution had to be found for this geographic distance.

According to this,

Joe Biden should

get his own temporary atomic case, as bringing it back from

Florida

would take too long.

At the moment of the swearing-in, the device on the new suitcase should be activated, and

Donald Trump's

old suitcase will

no longer be

accessible

to the outgoing

US President

from this point on

.

According to

CNN

,

this suitcase will then be returned

to the current

US president

as soon as possible

.

At around 2 p.m. European time,

Donald Trump

then

sets off

for

Florida

.

So far it is unclear whether the outgoing US president will quietly leave the dust.

Or whether Trump might even be adopted by the honor guard.

His bitterest day: Trump holds a farewell speech with an enigmatic appeal - and foams because of Biden's guest list

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: Biden's inauguration could fuel the 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.

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 are a burden on the US president.

Donald Trump: failed to flee 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

.

There was then a lot of 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.
