\"Trump<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The outgoing President of the United States of America, Donald Trump has been denied a grand spectacle of a US Armed Forces Farewell- a custom dating back to the end of Ronald Reagan\u2019s presidential term in 1989.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump wanted a military-style farewell parade as he exits office on Wednesday, to include a massive crowd of his supporters but two senior Defense offices insist that the Pentagon<\/a> will not participate in any such event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US defence and national security website Defense One broke the news there will be no grand military spectacle, no 21-gun salute for the 45th president of the US, as his request was rejected by the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo senior defence officials confirmed to Defense One on Thursday [January 14] that no military farewell is being planned for the commander in chief,\u201d the website wrote on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further reports<\/a> say Trump, in a show of bitterness, will also not engage in any hand-off rituals that incumbents typically do to welcome newly elected Presidents \u2013 such as leaving a letter of advice to the new president or hosting a one-on-one conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
