Trump is leaving White House early enough Wednesday morning that he's still president when he lands in Florida and motorcades to Mar-a-Lago, aides told me last week. Departure events on South Lawn before he boards Marine One and at airport before he boards AF1 for final time.
As Trump aides clear out, a flashback to Jan. 19, 2017 when Obama WH went ghost: A Marine guard left the West Wing at 6 p.m., signaling Obama had left for the final evening. Fireworks celebrating Prez-elect Trump exploded in the sky, visible over the EEOB.

On prior inauguration days in which a transition from one president to the next occurs, the incoming president has extended the courtesy of allowing the outgoing president to use Air Force One and Marine One for his final trip home. Should this courtesy be extended to Trump?
Trump, speaking as he boarded Marine One at the White House for a trip to Texas, called his likely impeachment in the House of Representatives on Wednesday a "continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics."
After staying out of the public for nearly a week following the assault on the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters, President Trump spoke to reporters gathered on the South Lawn before boarding Marine One.
Trump spoke with reporters briefly as he was leaving the White House Tuesday morning to board Marine One on the South Lawn, on his way to an event in Texas later in the day. DETAILS:

‘[Trump] doesn’t actually care about us. What he cares about is using us.’ — former Marine Alexander McCoy is sick of the way Trump uses veterans as political props
Former Trump White House chief of staff, Marine GEN John Kelly (ret.) issues an on the record statement: "The delay in transitioning is an increasing national security and health crisis....
President Trump said he won't commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses. But six years ago today, President Obama saluted a Marine while holding a latte, the worst scandal in presidential history.
John Kelly is an American hero. He distinguished himself over four decades in the US Marine Corps. He is a gold star family member and someone I am proud to call a friend. Mr. Trump is one of the most reviled people on our planet today.
LIVE: President Trump delivers remarks at Fincantieri Marinette Marine
This is a rather extraordinary statement by James Mattis, retired U.S. Marine Corps General, and Trump's former Secretary of Defense. It is well worth reading.
President Trump took to Twitter on Memorial Day to call Rep. Conor Lamb, a sitting congressman and Marine Corps veteran, “an American fraud.” He also misspelled his name.
BRUTAL NUMBERS FOR TRUMP: An overwhelming majority of voters support Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump—by more than a 2-to-1 margin. Republicans’ attacks on the Marine war hero have backfired.
