Outgoing President of the United States, Donald Trump alongside his wife, Melania Trump has left the White House for the final time as President of the country.
Donald Trump, dressed in a long black coat, a white shirt and his traditional long red tome was seen boarding the Marine 1 helicopter with his wife as they head out of the White House hours before the inauguration ceremony of their successors.
Donald Trump becomes the first President in 152 years to snub the inauguration ceremony of his successor. However, Mike Pence, his outgoing Vice President is scheduled to be at the ceremony later today.

While speaking to reporters at the White House shortly before his departure, Donald Trump said it was an honour to serve America as he heads to Joint Base Andrews for his farewell ceremony.
He leaves the White House with a looming impeachment trial at the Senate.
For now, he will take solace in his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida as he looks to forward to life as former President of the United States.
