The president gave an excellent farewell speech Wednesday morning at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. It was moving, eloquent, and struck the right notes. If he had sounded this way over the last two months the circumstances of his leaving would be quite different.

FNC: “President Trump on Wednesday morning told supporters that ‘we will be back in some form’ after he departed the White House for the final time as president, just hours ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Biden. Trump made the comments at Joint Base Andrews as he was about to fly to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Trump landed on Air Force One in Florida with about one hour left in his term. As Trump walked to the podium in Joint Base Andrews, he was greeted by a 21-gun salute with ceremonial artillery. In his remarks, he touted his administration’s accomplishments.”

“We left it all on the field…What we’ve done has been amazing by any standard…I wish the new administration great luck and great success,” Trump said. “I think they’ll have great success…You’re gonna see incredible numbers start coming in if everything is left alone…Be careful.” Excellent. Spot on.

“I hope they don’t raise your taxes, but if they do I told you so,” he said. Trump also said “we will be back in some form.” DC rumors say Trump is looking at various options: Forming his own populist political party, setting up his own search engine and/or news site, and starting or buying a cable news channel.

Trump also spoke of the virus. “The first thing we have to do is pay our respects and our love to the incredible people and families who suffered so gravely from the China virus. It was a horrible thing that was put into the world. We put it in a position like it’s never been before despite the worst plague to hit since, I guess you’d say 1917, over a hundred years ago.”

He concluded with, “I just want to say you are amazing people. This is a great, great country. It is my greatest honor and privilege to have been your president. I will always fight for you.”
