In Farewell Speech Trump Says: ‘The Movement We Started Is Only Just Beginning’

President Trump was both optimistic and defiant in his farewell address to the nation on Tuesday afternoon.

He vowed that his movement was here to stay and praised his administration’s achievements in restoring America while not starting any new wars.

“We did what we came here to do — and so much more,” Trump said.

RT reports: He argued that his administration restored American strength at home and leadership abroad, “built the greatest economy in the history of the world,” and achieved a “series of historic peace deals in the Middle East.” 

I am especially proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars.

“Above all, we have reasserted the sacred idea that in America, the government answers to the people,” Trump said. “We restored the idea that in America, no one is forgotten — because everyone matters and everyone has a voice.”

He added that he prays for the new administration’s success in “keeping America safe and prosperous.”

The outgoing president also warned, however, that the greatest danger America faces is “a loss of confidence in ourselves — a loss of confidence in our national greatness.”

“No nation can long thrive that loses faith in its own values, history, and heroes — for these are the very sources of our unity and our vitality,” Trump said. “America is not a timid nation of tame souls who need to be sheltered and protected from those with whom we disagree.”

Commenting on the January 6 “assault” on the US Capitol, Trump said “all Americans were horrified” by it and that political violence “is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.”

Democrats have blamed Trump personally for “inciting” the unrest, which the House of Representatives described as an “insurrection” in the one-day session ending in a vote to impeach Trump last week.
