'We did what we came here to do': Trump tries to recast legacy in farewell address
He portrays his political phenomenon as a unifying one, as opposed to the vitriolic, partisan warfare he engaged in throughout his presidency.

President Donald Trump will try to recast his legacy away from the partisan violence of the past few weeks in a farewell address to be delivered Tuesday afternoon, according to excerpts released by the White House.

As he leaves office as the only twice-impeached U.S. president, Trump is portraying his political phenomenon as a unifying one, as opposed to the vitriolic, partisan warfare he engaged in throughout his presidency and campaign. And with the memory of his supporters swarming the Capitol in a deadly attack fresh in the nation’s conscience, the president will use the address to try to redirect his legacy to a rosier picture of his time in office.
“We restored the idea that in America, no one is forgotten — because everyone matters and everyone has a voice,” Trump plans to say, according to a White House preview. “Our agenda was not about right or left, it wasn’t about Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation, and that means the whole nation.”


The planned remarks praise the Trump era as one in which Americans were able to disagree and where government was responsible to the people — a repackaging of Trump’s oft-repeated campaign promise to “drain the swamp” that is at odds with a record of direct attacks on Democrats and the media as enemies of the people. They also cite the Trump administration’s role in the freshly established diplomatic relations between Israel and a number of Arab states as proof of the president’s commitment to peace.

Trump will also signal that he has no intention of letting the movement peter out, even as Democrats take control of the White House and Senate this week. After Trump plans to wish goodwill to President-elect Joe Biden, he will tack on that “the movement we started is only just beginning.”

Trump’s political future, however, may be at risk. After the House voted to impeach him for willfully inciting an insurrection Wednesday, the Senate can vote to permanently bar him from holding public office as part of its impeachment trial.

His fellow Republicans in the upper chamber have not shown much enthusiasm for stopping that prospect — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to hold Trump responsible for the violent Capitol attack that left five people dead. And with 10 House Republicans voting for impeachment, it was the most bipartisan impeachment vote in U.S. history.

Still, Trump will continue to wash his hands of responsibility for the Capitol attack in Tuesday’s comments, condemning violence as against his movement, even though several of the rioters who broke into the building said they were heeding a call from the president himself.

“All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol,” the planned remarks read. “Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.”

The message follows similar statements he has made in the weeks following the Capitol attack — particularly after his second impeachment — in which he openly denounced the violence. But during the attack, Trump tweeted messages of support for the rioters, saying that “we love you” and that “you’re very special.”

“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,” he tweeted at the time. “Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”

Trump has since been permanently banned from Twitter for glorifying violence.

some highlights..


My fellow Americans: Four years ago, we launched a great national effort to rebuild our country, to renew its spirit, and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens. In short, we embarked on a mission to make America great again — for all Americans.

As I conclude my term as the 45th President of the United States, I stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved together. We did what we came here to do — and so much more.

[FACT CHECK.. all so very true]

First, let me express my overwhelming gratitude for [trump family.. pence and his family].. I also want to take a moment to thank a truly exceptional group of people: the United States Secret Service. My family and I will forever be in your debt..

[FACT CHECK.. true.. on average day president gets over half a dozen threats from terrorist liberals with tds wanting to strike coup against c-in-c]

Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world..

[FACT CHECK.. entirely true]

but.. we and the whole world got hit with the China virus..

[FACT CHECK.. mostly true.. virus came from mainland china and not taiwan and should be called "the communist china virus"..]

We also unlocked our energy resources and became the world’s number-one producer of oil and natural gas by far. Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. We reignited America’s job creation and achieved record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women — almost everyone..

[FACT CHECK.. true]

When our nation was hit with the terrible pandemic, we produced not one, but two vaccines with record-breaking speed, and more will quickly follow. They said it couldn’t be done but we did it. They call it a “medical miracle,” and that’s what they’re calling it right now: a “medical miracle"..

[FACT CHECK.. true]

When the virus took its brutal toll on the world’s economy, we launched the fastest economic recovery our country has ever seen..

[FACT CHECK.. true]

We confirmed three new justices of the United States Supreme Court.. achieved the most secure border in U.S. history.. We obliterated the ISIS caliphate and ended the wretched life of its founder and leader, al Baghdadi.. We launched the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces in 75 years: the Space Force.. I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars..

i am expecting a light to descend on tumbleweed soon

"tumbleweed tumbleweed why do you persecute me" it will ask

"who is that" i expect tumbleweed will respond

"i am trump who thou hast been persecuting.. reread my farewell speech and judge my accomplishments objectively"

then i expect tumbleweed to weep in contrition and go about the country in sackcloth campaigning for trump in 2024

what he considers his accomplishments are not his accomplishments

i'll give him credit for starting the trade war w/ China (which has not been successful)

otherwise he contributed nothing to those alleged accomplishments

however, his harm is incalculable

suspiciously absent from that teleprompter speech is the Iran deal he pulled out of for no good reason (harming our reputation in so doing) & which accomplished nothing (yet he was very proud of it when speaking his own words)

the thing he knew nothing at all about before being elected, & learned nothing after... only could repeat 2 things over & over, one inaccurate & one false

a pathetically unfit 'president'

”I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars.” – Donald Trump


So, now that Biden is president, when do you all think that he will start a war, and against who?

Today, against the American people.

That's not a joke, by the way:

biden has secretary of state advisor who

* supported the U.S.–led invasion of Iraq in 2003.[19][20]
* Blinken supported the 2011 military intervention in Libya[29] and the supply of weapons to Syrian rebels.[32]
* In April 2015, Blinken voiced support for the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen.[34]

sharon told the usa to destroy iraq and libya and syria and iran way back when he gave his list.. so iran is a likely candidate as the last one not largely destroyed by usa policy since then

destroying lebanon or iraq [more thoroughly] seems reasonable bets.. or attacking assad in syria.. maybe some less obvious muslim country will talk smack against israel and get destroyed

then there's russia china and north korea

could be something unexpected too

i'll guess 1 to 2 years before biden's first war
