Donald Trump and his family arrive in Washington DC for inauguration
Donald Trump and his family arrived in Washington DC shortly after noon on Thursday, just 24 hours before the billionaire businessman will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

The president-elect`s family exited the plane first after landing at Joint Base Andrews, with Donald`s son Barron hesitantly leading the way.

Donald`s 10-year-old son was then followed by Donald Jr. and his wife Vanessa with their five children. Eric Trump exited next with his wife Lara.

The Donald`s two oldest sons only down for the weekend before they head back to New York City and get to work running the Trump organization whole their father is in office.

Then came America`s new political power couple Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, along with their three children.

The family touched down in what will now be their new home as Kushner gets to work as a senior adviser to Trump in the White House.

Tiffany Trump was the last child to leave, exiting solo and without boyfriend Ross Mechanic, who had de-boarded at the rear of the aircraft. She was followed by some of Donald`s siblings.

Then, after a pause, Donald and Melania exited the plane, with Donald waving to those at the base before descending the stairs with his wife.

Donald posted an Instagram photo of himself exiting the plane almost immediately after landing, writing: `Just landed with Melania & my family. Thank you for all of your support. I love you - and WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!`

Donald Jr. posted a similar photo of his family getting off the plane on his Instagram account, writing: `And we are in DC. Pretty surreal experience so far.`



The president-elect was seen in his motorcade departing Trump Tower on Thursday morning as he heads down to his new home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Minutes later he arrived at LaGuardia Airport where he got on his first government flight, having flown on his personal airplane for the final time last night now that he is commander in chief.

Trump then took off for Washington DC, where on Thursday afternoon he will attend his inaugural concert.

He will place a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery at 3:30 pm and then cross the Potomac to speak at the Lincoln Memorial. A country music concert and fireworks will follow soon after.

Trump will then be sworn in at noon on Friday.
