Trump leaves icy Washington for loving Florida home
Manila Bulletin|January 22, 2021

Trump leaves icy Washington for loving Florida home

The soon to be ex-president's motorcade slowed almost to a stop outside his fancy Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, allowing Trump to bathe in the adulation of hundreds of fans.

They stretched all the way down the road, cheering and waving Trump 2020 reelection campaign flags.

We love you! chanted one knot of people.

Welcome Home, said a homemade sign.

Another read Trump landslide, echoing the president's lie that he won the election. The woman holding the sign was in tears.

Trump had arrived in Trump Country.

This is where he and his wife Melania will now live after he was soundly defeated by Joe Biden and impeached a record second time for whipping up supporters to storm Congress on January 6.

And like the balmy winter temperatures, swaying palms and the possibility of occasional alligators, those hardcore believers are something the golf course tycoon will always be able to count on.
