Before he boarded Air Force One this morning for Florida, Donald Trump claimed his administration laid the foundation for the incoming one.
He did not mention Joe Biden by name, but told a small crowd of family members and supporters that he thinks the new administration has the foundation to do something really spectacular.
He made brief farewell remarks at Maryland's Joint Base Andrews before he boarded Air Force One for a flight to his Florida home.
Trump said he'll be watching from a distance and promised he will be back -- quote -- ``in some form.''
He did follow one presidential tradition and left a note behind at the White House for Joe Biden.
Trump wanted to be in Florida before Biden becomes president at noon.
