Donald Trump is leaving the White House several hours before he would have been dragged out by his ankles. We haven’t discussed his big sendoff plans, which he had to organize himself, because no one – and I mean NO ONE – wanted to organize anything for him. He is very much a disgraced president, waddling off into the sunset after failing to win the popular vote twice and after being impeached twice. He incited an insurrection, empowered white supremacists, sexually harassed, abused and demeaned women and he’s also a fat, ugly, tiny-handed piece of sh-t.
Trump wanted a big military parade for his sendoff. He wanted a 21-gun salute, something which would have normally done for the death of a president or a military leader. Instead, Bone Spurs is probably going to get a poorly-attended, meek mini-parade. Mitch McConnell and other Congressional leaders, Republican and Democrat, chose to take up Joe Biden’s invitation to go to church for a morning mass… instead of attending the Bigly Bone Spurs Parade. Even Mike Pence refused to attend… because Pence is going to Biden’s inauguration. Reportedly, the Trumpers were telling invitees that they could bring up to five people. So… those are the bookends for the Trump era. It started with a poorly attended Struggle Inauguration and ends with a poorly attended Struggle Sendoff.
It’s also being said that Trump spent his last days in office growing more and more embittered, so much so that he barely even cared about his big shiny toys. The White House posted Trump’s “farewell address” on YouTube yesterday, one of the few sites which hasn’t banned Trump from posting anything. I didn’t watch it. I heard he said “China virus” and he apparently minimized his role in the insurrection. So here we are: the end of a fascist era, ending with a white supremacist whimper. Bye bye jackass.
Here’s Trump’s exit from the White House just minutes ago.

This departure is quite a spectacle. MEMEMEMEME.
Melania looks so happy lol
Au revoir l’orange covfefe – may we never see or hear from you again!
Goodbye, good riddance, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.
Any report on crowd size?
Did anyone actually show up?
@BayTampaBay “Eleventy TRILLION people showed up to see the most charming, admired, stable genius President in American history ascend directly to Heaven, where God Himself will hand over His throne.” – Kellyanne Conway, probably.
The Washington Post described it as a “modest” sized crowd of a few hundred aides and loyalists, including chief of staff Mark Meadows and the disgraced pill dispenser himself, now an elected representative from Texas, Dr. Ronny Jackson. None of the top GOP officials were in attendance, no 21-gun salute, no sea of troops (a small military band was present), and no farewell rally.
Andrea Mitchell on NBC described it as an awkward gathering because it was obvious invitees had not been able to fulfill the instruction on the invitation to bring five friends each.
The family huddled everyone together in an effort to project a dense crowd, no pandemic protocol of social distancing although most wore masks.
He did have the 21 gun salute, just as he stepped off the helicopter IIRC and up to the podium for his speech. C-Span has a clip, but I was also watching him leaving (with sound off!) and saw it.
Congresswoman-Elect Lauren Boebert was there not wearing a mask along with (I believe) that other jack-ass republican congressman, Hawley.
His adult children trying to look as if they were crying was priceless.
It’s not “ciao”. It really is “arrivederci”. It wasn’t at all nice knowing you, and hopefully, we’ll never have to clap eyes on you again.
So long sucker!!!
Face more orange than ever.
They’re actually playing Macho Man. I can’t. Mark Twain could not have made this isht up! And I’m no Mark Twain.
Darla- I think Trump is stuck in the disco era and likes 70’s 80’s music cause it reminds him of his days at Studio 54, etc. He wants to think of himself as king of the club, still.
Not EVEN!!! It was YMCA!!!
Gotta have one more rally. At least they did not play Fortunate Son this time.
If he does try to establish another political party, I guess there will be more ego-fluffing rallies.
Let him establish a new party. It will draw voters away from the republican party and screw them in future elections.
Now would have been the time for him to play “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” The Stones may even have agreed to put aside three decades of snubbing him to perform it for this occasion – no, Keith still wouldn’t trust himself
I would have loved it if someone had blasted Big Sean’s “I don’t F*ck with You” over whatever it was he played.
Hee. “Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J would have been excellent too. 🙂
Of course, most artists don’t want to be associated with the Orange Menace, so his playlist for public events must be very short.
I laughed so hard! Macho man. Lmao!! I almost choked on my drink 😂
Thank God ! Most beautiful birthday of my life !!
Happy Birthday, Angel! I hope Trump’s departure is one of the many gifts you receive today!
Happy birthday! Lots to celebrate today.
Happy birthday Angel! It’s my birthday too!! Cheers to another year. Biden/Harris – the only gift I need.
thank you all !!! and happy birthday @Sealit
Happy birthday @Angel and @sealit!
Happy birthday!
It’s also my beloved dad’s 79th birthday too! We’re celebrating 2 things today!
@ Angel, a super Happy Birthday to you!!! I hope your year brings you peace, love and happiness!!!
Thank you so much.
Ding Dong the orange d*ck is gone!
Hahahaha…this is exactly what I texted to my best friends as the helicopter was taking off!
Brokeahontas has left the building!
While I’m glad he’s gone (and find it completely in character for him to leave the job early), if I’m being completely honest, I kind of wanted the video of him being dragged out of the White House. I understand what a bad look that would be for America, but part of me still wanted it (yes, I’m a little ashamed to admit it).
@ sa, I am right there with you!! Drag him across the lawn, it will take 4 burly men, in handcuffs and dragging his feet screaming, “I don’t want to leave, I’m still president!” “They stole this from me….wwaahhhhhh….”
So long Agent Orange, may we only see you only in the impeachment trials as you are sentenced guilty.
That’s what hubby wanted too.
I’ve just seen video of the Trump kids crying during his speech. LOL
Those were “Now we’re going to jail” tears.
He called it the China virus AGAIN at his final speech at Andrews. God, he makes me sick.
Bye, Felicia!!!
I hate the way he always referred Covid as The China Virus too.
Lol… saw footage of him hugging his fam on the way to AF1. It’s so obvious he has no real affection with his family. His hugging his granddaughter and later, Jared were particularly awkward.
No love in that family. Melanoma is dressed like she’s going to a funeral. But it at least seems to be the real one.
LOL SO HARD!!! YMCA as a walk off song?!?! Who? Why? So so so lame!!!
And they didn’t show the “crowd” sounded like MAYBE a few dozen people?
When I first tuned this morning it was showing Joint Base Andrews being prepared. They were playing Eric Burdon and the Animals’ “House of the rising Sun.” I was like, what??!!
And yes. Only a few dozen people, mostly military. 😂
I heard the number 200 for the send off crowd.
The thought of how history will remember this term makes me both sad and pleased (the latter because of how the family brand is likely already justifiably ruined). It’s both sad and scary how much damage was caused in just 4 years.
Ahhhhhhh! Delicious.
My son said to me in 2016 “mommy you can’t be like this for four years!”
Well, now my bleak pessimism and veil of distress is lifted and I can fly forth happy, hopeful, and free!
For the last time: F*ck Trump.
My dad and I just popped open some 9AM champagne. Boom, bitch! Byeeee…
Woot!!Woot!!!
Ding dong the bastard’s gone, ha ha ha, ho ho ho
Ding dong the f****** bastard’s gone!!
He called it the China virus and stated: we all know where it came from. He also took credit for the vaccine being developed in 9 months (let’s not mention he scientist) and stated he set up the next admin for great success (more propaganda). OH YEAH, let’s not forget he also talked about all his votes. In the words of MLK (whom we honored yesterday): “Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.”
That quote was exactly my thought too Seraphina. We’re free of the white supremacist charlatan President. Unfortunately the country is not yet free of white supremacy. I probably won’t be around in 2050 when whites are supposed to become the true minority of the entire country. (For the record, I’m white.)
What am I going to do with my time now that “wondering whether I still live in a democracy” and “insomnia” are off the agenda? I guess I’ll start with a pajama dance party. “Hit the Road, Jack” by Ray Charles on cue!
He will try to hint he is going to run again so he can hold the GOP hostage and they deserve nothing less than to be ruined by him since they coddled him for all these years. I do not think he will be alive or of competent state of mind in 4 years frankly but I hope he ruins as much of the GOP as he can before he goes to wherever hateful dictator wanna bes go when they die
He’s been allowed to run the country without a competent state of mind for the last four years.
@ Michael L Kelly, I agree!! He took refuge in the disgusting behaviour of almost the entire GOP, who willingly refused to address his abhorrent and criminal behaviour. I only know of two Senators that should be recognized as taking a stand, and that is the late Senator McCain, and Senator Romney. They refused to buckle and stood up to his criminal actions. Now may they all suffer from their refusal and their cooperation and support that they have given him in the last 4+ years. Every single Senator, primarily those that participated in the efforts to block the Senate confirmation of Biden’s lawful win, every one of them does not qualify for holding office anymore. Cruz and the rest of his power hungry group, that stood to gain Agent Orange supporters in their disgusting display of refusal to accept an Election result, have revoked their oath of allegiance to the American citizens.
He had Sinatra’s My Way play as Air Force One took off. Somewhere, Nancy Sinatra – a resister of the highest order – is tossing things at her TV screen.
Yeah, I was thinking wherever Sinatra himself is he must be unhappy about this (even though he did not exactly love that song, but he sure would not have wanted to see it used for this).
Oh my goodness – what is it with this song and people who support Trump and now Trump himself? I don’t think it means what they think it means, but Joe Arpaio says it’s his favorite song and has it as his general ringtone…
(Sources to confirm this: probably anyone who’s spent time around him, since his phone rings constantly and usually multiple times during off camera interviews with journalists – I learned the words to the song via transcribing his interviews…)
Heh. Would give a million to see Frank come back from the dead and kick Trump’s sorry butt. 🙂
Let the healing begin. Trump didn’t only fvck up America, his policies emboldened other right wing / right leaning governments into making racism, misogyny, transphobia, Islamophobia & xenophobia ‘acceptable‘ to many other heads of state, government leaders and millions of people around the world. Including my little island with that thatched roof toady. Crying tears of exhaustion, hope, happiness and peace for America 🇺🇸 today. God bless America and God Bless her people (except the GOP, white supremacists and anyone who ever, in anyway, supported Trump.) I am filled with hope and love 🇬🇧
Watching from the UK. Extraordinary that even in those last moments he still managed to demonstrate he’s never had any idea whatsoever what it meant to be potus or indeed any sort of international statesman. We’re popping corks on this side of the pond too! Thanks Celebitchy for your coverage of the reign of the Orange Twat. I genuinely hope the future is bright for the USA now.
I loved James Corden’s One Day More remake last night; such hope for today!
That was the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning, and it was such a wonderful thing to watch as I had my mug of tea. Also, Randy Rainbow’s Rent parody for the end of the administration is also a thing of beauty. It’s been a long four years.
LOVE Randy Rainbow.

Hail to the Chief Sendoff with video of Trump leaving to go to the airport (first line: “Hail to the billionaire concealing income taxes…” and it gets better with each line)

Sedition!
And for those of you wishing they could have seen Trump dragged out of the White House, here is my personal favorite:

It’s Mueller Time! Trump Administration Season Ending
Pendejo.
@ tempest prognosticator, exactly! Including McConnell!!
GA-LONG!!!!!
That’s Jamaican for go along!!! In a rude way.
I hope Biden stops the kids trapped in cages at the border.
America will be getting a new beginning in a few hours.
He knows this new administration is going to do great things, and he’s pretty much already taking credit for it all. I have never disliked any human as much I do him.
From our side of the pond, in the UK, I baked a batch of banana muffins but my son asked for vanilla cupcakes, so we made a batch and we’re going to frost them in blue, red and plain (white) in honour of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ inauguration. Going to raise a glass of bubbly as well. Cheers to the USA
Very sweet. Cheers to you Heygingersnaps.
Can’t believe it’s finally over.
@ Sayrah, neither can I. I think I aged 10 years during the last four plus years. I have never been so disgusted by my fellow Americans who voted and members of congress and the administration for not calling him out on his criminal bahaviours and actions.
I was so happy to see this video of him leaving the WH and I could only make out a few words as the helicopter drowned him out. May the rest of our lives be filled with sounds of Agent Orange being drowned out. We don’t need to hear you utter another word, except guilty.
Bye Bitch!
Randy Rainbow’s Seasons of Trump
https://youtu.be/UzXBVkWASI4
@ Snuffles, thank you for posting Randy’s video!! It was brilliant and I have sent it to all of my sisters!!
Awash with relief, still a lot of rage, but mostly sort of anticlimactic. He’s a deflated balloon, a sour note ending of a long morose symphony. All sound and fury, signifying nothing.
But man, he’s got a doofus walk. Literally a dumdeedumdeedum waddling goofy walk.
Well, onwards and upwards. Thanks for being my support site, my calm from the storm, my closed room so that I could yell and commiserate. Couldn’t have made it through without you!
Looking forward to a time when this POS is just a distant memory.
Four Seasons landscaping called, wanted to know what the time after party was scheduled for?
The sex shop next door said they’d throw in some free penis shaped lollipops.
My3Cents, hahahahaha! I couldn’t stop laughing as I was trying to read your post to my husband!
@ My3cents, that was brilliant!! I can’t drink my coffee with you guys this morning as I keep spitting it out from laughter!!
Brava 👏
Hey now, not need for fat-shaming 😅
I put his departure on to listen to and watch and then I was just like “F$%k this. I’m not giving this asshat any more of my time or attention.” I’m done and so is he!
The Recipe of the the day on Twitter is ‘Bitter Orange Tart’.
@ Bobby the K, OMG!!! I am still f#cking laughing at your comment as I spit out my coffee!! Thank you so much for giving us, and me, this wonderful gift!!!
Thank you for speaking so much truth and sense over the last four years! Made me feel a little saner!
Be aware of the seeds that have been planted. Not an easy way ahead, and I hope people don’t get complacent and instead, keep voting.
Speaking of orange, checkout what Melania changed into on the flight to FL – yeah, she’s happy to be done with the last 4 years.
In 90 minutes, 3 new senators will be sworn in, and the Dems will control the Senate.
I was watching him leave this morning. Where was Barron? He wasn’t with them as they got on the heilcopter and I don’t recall seeing him get on the plane. Did they forget him? Is he in boarding school somewhere?
Is the woman with him Melania or Fauxlania? She looks faux to me, so maybe Melania and Barron are already in Florida.
He’s probably already in some Florida private school and staying with Melania’s parents.
Not reportedly—the invite was made public. It said bring up to five. Anthony Scaramucci got sent one and he’s been a nonstop critic since he left. Lol They were getting desperate.
