Trump did not attend the inauguration ceremony of Joe Biden’s president-elect at the noon capitol. He became the first president to not attend the inauguration ceremony of his successor president. Due to the absence of the inauguration ceremony, there was a situation in which the’nuclear football (photo)’ was not delivered directly. CNN said on the 19th that “normally, military officials deliver (nuclear bags) while Biden-elect is taking office,” and “it will be delivered in a different way than before. Nuclear bag refers to equipment in the form of a briefcase that allows the President of the United States to issue an order to attack nuclear weapons in case of emergency.
Earlier, he was busy on the 19th, the last day of his term. The White House announced that Trump exercised his pardon, pardoning 73 people and commuting 70 people. According to CNN, Trump pardoned former White House chief strategist Steve Bannan, who was arrested last August for personal use of barrier donations and then released on bail. But he and his family’s private attorney, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, were not included in the pardon, Reuters reported.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the day that, citing sources, Trump discussed the founding of the new party with multiple staff and acquaintances. The newspaper said that he preferred’Patriot’ as the name of the new party. The White House declined to respond to the report.
In his farewell speech on the White House YouTube account that day, Trump self-criticized for the past four years, saying, “We did what we had to do, and we have done more.”
