Based on footage from Washington, D.C., President Trump's adopted home of the last four years isn't terribly sorry to be seeing him go.
On Saturday, shortly after the election was called in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden, the U.S. capital erupted in celebrations. Supporters of the incoming president sang "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" outside St. John's Church — the site of Trump's now-famous photo op with a Bible after law enforcement used tear gas to clear Black Lives Matter protesters for his procession this summer. Others gathered outside the White House to relish in the victory.
