Trump arrives in Washington, D.C., as days of inaugural celebrations begin

President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Washington Saturday to kick off days of pageantry heralding his second inauguration as president, four years after he departed the city under the shadow of an attack by his supporters on the Capitol.

His plane landed at Dulles Airport in the evening before he headed to Trump Sterling Golf Club.

Earlier, Trump, Melania and their son Barron boarded the plane at 5:13 p.m. Eastern Time and departed Palm Beach, Florida, from Mar-a-Lago, where his team has spent his transition since he won the election. The three of them turned around at the top of the stairs, and Trump waved before heading inside the plane.
