President Donald Trump is now planning to depart on the morning of of inauguration day on Wednesday after considering leaving on Tuesday, according to sources of Reuters.

Trump had already made it clear before that he will not attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, but instead he is planning a ceremonial farewell  at Joint Base Andrews, the base located just outside Washington where Air Force One is headquartered. This may include a 21-salute.

According to sources, Trump's plan depart on inauguration day is still indefinite and may change.  It is not yet clear weather Trump would give a statement on Wednesday.

The sources said that Trump may fly to Palm Beach, Florida to start his post-presidency at his Mar-a-Lago club.  He is likely to be in Florida by the time that Biden is inaugurated  around midday on Wednesday.

Some advisers have been trying to convince. Trump to host Biden for a White House meeting ahead of the inauguration but Trump shows no sign of willingness to such request.

Trump will be the 4th US President to boycott his successor's inauguration and the first one in 150 years.  He is also the first one to be impeached twice. According to Reuters' sources, Trump will issue more pardons before his term ends. He is also considering the unprecedented option of pardoning himself.
