Donald Trump leaves the White House this morning, ending four years of his controversial presidency, and without waiting to complete the protocol for handing over command to his successor, Joe Biden.

A government marked by the Power conflicts and racial and verbal tensions that evolved into deadly violence when his followers took over the Capitol on January 6, in an attempt to stop Biden’s electoral confirmation, leaving five people dead.

The pandemic of the coronavirus, which yesterday added more than 400 thousand deaths in the US, marked the last year of Trump in power and the electoral campaign, which led him to question the legitimacy of the results due to the massive early vote to avoid contagion.

To his 74 years, Trump will not return to New York, his home state and habitual residence. Now Florida will be the home for him and his children, in different locations.

The now former president had already moved a few years ago his tax residence from NY to Florida. “Despite the fact that I pay millions of dollars in municipal, state and local taxes each year, the political leaders of the city and the state have treated me very badly ”, complained in the fall of 2019.

Trump and his wife Melania will depart from a helicopter at the White House to the Andrews military base (Maryland) Heading to Palm Beach, Florida, three hours before Biden’s inauguration as president number 46 from USA

From 1992, when George HW Bush was defeated, no other US president had lost re-election. Interestingly, he was also the last vice president to later become president (1988), a feat that Biden is now repeating.
