Donald Trump is leaving the White House for the last time as US president, departing Washington hours before Joe Biden’s inauguration, which he will skip.

The last time an outgoing president skipped the inauguration was in 1869, CNN reports.

He is set to make a speech at Joint Base Andrews shortly — reportedly an unscripted address.
