Two large moving trucks have been spotted arriving at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, local media reported on Monday.
According to WFLX, vehicles belonging to Virginia-based company JK Moving Services were seen outside the golf club at around 9.30 am, with employees carrying large boxes into Trump's estate.
A government helicopter and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office chopper were reportedly captured flying above Mar-a-Lago.
A man was detained and questioned on Monday after police spotted him wandering along the president's property, the Daily Mail newspaper reported, adding that the officers had been speaking to him for at least an hour, but the "suspect" eventually was released.
Meanwhile, Trump has recorded a farewell message to Americans, expected to be released as early as Tuesday, a CNN reporter shared on Monday afternoon. The farewell address will reportedly include his accomplishments while in the White House.

Trump to Leave White House With Neither Color Guard, Nor 21-Gun Salute Expected
Local officials have been preparing for the US president's arrival for some time already. Last week, White House staffers were captured on camera while loading large boxes, allegedly with Trump's possessions, into moving trucks, apparently destined for his Mar-a-Lago estate. A Lincoln bust and some old newspapers were reportedly spotted among them.

President Trump is set to leave DC for Mar-a-Lago at about 8 am, just hours before his presidential term officially ends and Biden takes the oath of office as the next US president. If Air Force One lands after Biden is sworn in, it will be designated "Special Air Mission 29000."
Prior to that, Trump is reportedly going to attend a goodbye ceremony, but no military-style farewell is expected. It appears that Pentagon has declined to organize an Armed Forces Farewell tribute on the last day of Trump's presidency, breaking with a tradition that has been held since Ronald Reagan's term in office. CNN reported citing a person who spoke with Trump on the matter that the president had allegedly demanded a "military sendoff" with a lot of Trump supporters.

Trump changed his primary residence from New York City to Palm Beach back in 2019. It is not clear, however, if he will reside there permanently after his tenure at the White House ends. Chances are high he may run for the presidency again in 2024.
