WASHINGTON — President Trump will leave Washington early Wednesday with a farewell ceremony at Joint Base Andrews before President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office, one guest told The Post.

In a break from a century of tradition, Trump will not stay to participate in his successor’s swearing-in and will instead leave the White House and fly to his Mar-A-Lago resort aboard Air Force One around 8 a.m., the source said.

Invitees have been told to arrive by 7:15 a.m. at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where a crowd of several hundred supporters and former staff will bid farewell to Trump as he leaves Washington for the last time as president.

According to Bloomberg News, which first reported the ceremony, invitees have been told they can invite up to five guests and will be expected to wear masks the entire time.

Details for the event are still being finalized, but a color guard and 21-gun salute — typically reserved as a military honor — are reportedly under consideration.

Biden will be sworn in outside the US Capitol at noon in a scaled-back ceremony that reflects the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and this month’s deadly siege on Congress.

Only a small number of guests will be allowed inside the heavily barricaded grounds of the Capitol, which will be guarded by thousands of National Guard troops.

Biden has urged his supporters not to travel to DC, and the traditional parade on Pennsylvania Avenue has been scrapped in favor of a “virtual” parade.

Earlier this month, Trump announced he would not attend Biden’s inauguration as he continues to claim the election was stolen from him.

Vice President Mike Pence will be attending the inauguration.
