President Donald Trump, who still hasn't conceded that he lost the presidential election, will be leaving the White House on the morning of January 20, but he will not be participating in any of the traditional hand-off rituals that incumbents typically do to welcome newly elected Presidents, the Alter Net website reports today (January 17, 2021).
Trump has asked the Pentagon for a traditional farewell parade, but the Pentagon has refused having one.
Instead, some 25,000 National Guard troops will be deployed to Washington, D.C.to maintain peace and order at Joe Biden's presidential inauguration on January 20.
