Donald and Melania Trump ready to leave the White House like thieves?
Melania and Donald Trump will have to leave the White House on January 20. But the ousted presidential couple could decide to flee before that date and celebrate the end of the year holidays in Florida. Objective: never to return to Washington and miss the nomination of Joe Biden.
Towards a historic transfer of powers? While Melania and Donald Trump are asked to leave the White House on January 20, the day Joe Biden takes office, rumors are rife about the important decisions they could make.

But the president privately downplayed the idea of welcoming Joe Biden to the White House, saying he doesn't think it would make a difference to his supporters, "report our colleagues. This scenario is for the moment "pure speculation", the President of the United States leaving all possible options on the table.

A decision that angered Hillary Clinton. In November 2016, Michelle Obama took the care to invite Melania Trump to the White House. On Instagram, the former First Lady was angry with the fallen couple, recalling that the transfer of power had not been a piece of cake for her and Barack Obama either but that "democracy was more important than ego of each.
