The Pentagon has reportedly turned down a request from President Donald Trump to have an extravagant sendoff from the White House, nixing the president’s plans to have a military parade at Joint Base Andrews before he departs Washington, D.C.
As The Daily Wire reported Sunday, Trump had requested “an unprecedented farewell event at Joint Base Andrews, an Air Force base in Maryland where Air Force One is hangared.” The plan was based on receptions he’d received while visiting abroad as a head of state, according to The Associated Press, and Trump’s own planned sendoff was thought to include “a red carpet, color guard, military band and even a 21-gun salute.”
