Trump leaves White House, says 'It's been a great honor'
By JILL COLVIN Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has left the White House for the final time as president.
After Trump emerged from the building he spoke briefly to aides and supports and said, "It's been a great honor."
Trump now heads to Joint Base Andrews in suburban Maryland, where he'll have a military sendoff.
Four U.S. Army cannons are set up for a 21-gun salute. Trump then flies to Florida, where he'll stay at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump is leaving Washington just hours before Joe Biden takes the oath of office.
It's the first time in more than a century that a sitting president has rejected the tradition of attending his successor's inauguration.
