Trump, 74, walked the red carpet and boarded a helicopter accompanied by the first lady shortly after 8:15 a.m. When he left, he referred to saying that his mandate was "four fantastic years" and that for him they represent the great "honor" of his life. He likewise pointed out that "we will be back somehow."
After leaving the White House, the Republican was fired at a military ceremony at the Andrew base, outside Washington. There he wished the new government "good luck and success", without naming Biden. Before leaving for Florida, he encouraged his followers by stating that he will return in some way.
The takeoff of Trump's last trip on the presidential plane coincided with the beginning of a mass that brought together Biden and the leaders of Congress before the transfer of command. The now former president complied with the Republican tradition of leaving a letter to his successor, an unknown that he maintained until the end.
In a last minute gesture, Trump announced a statute of protection against the deportation of Venezuelans, after Biden drew the lines of what will be an ambitious immigration reform that needs the endorsement of Congress.
The 73 pardons that Donald Trump will leave
Several former advisers to the United States Government and the famous rapper Lil Wayne were pardoned in the last hours by President Trump.
"President Donald J. Trump granted pardons to 73 people and commuted the sentences of another 70 people," the White House said in a statement.
Neither Trump nor any of his children are on the pardon list, a possibility that the US media had speculated about in recent days. This is because the president faces impeachment on account of the riots and violent events that occurred on January 6 in the United States Capitol.
It is worth remembering that close to the president they advised him to renounce a self-indulgence, because failure to do so would make it seem that he is guilty of something that happened that day, where the violent protests left several injuries and fatalities.
Likewise, Trump advisers have also proposed not to grant clemency to any of the detainees during the seizure of the Capitol despite Trump's initial position that those involved had done nothing wrong.
"There are many people who are urging the president to pardon the people" involved in the seizure of the Capitol, Senator Lindsey Graham, who is close to Trump, said Sunday. However, he acknowledged that, "seeking clemency for these people would be wrong."
Biden's term begins
The new president of the United States, Joe Biden, has already been sworn in before a judge as the country's highest representative, so he officially became the nation's 46th head of state.
In the place there are thousands of American flags to remember the more than 400,000 deaths that the pandemic has left in the country.
He will also be escorted by former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former Republican President George W. Bush. His vice president, Kamala Harris, will go down in history as the first woman to hold the position. She is also the first black person of Indian origin to be chosen for this position.
