I don't remember exactly why I know that. I remember him boarding AF1 with the suitcase. I think they might have even said it when I watched it live. Certainly if you /DDG "Trump leaves with nuclear football" it brings up the corroboration from every single news outlet in existence.
As for common, as far as I am aware its the first time ever, so no, not common.
Do we know for sure that President Trump left with the nuclear football? If so, is that common for a departing Pres.?
