Trump Bids Farewell to Washington, Hints of Comeback!!!
Farewell, For Now!!!
First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!
Even this bitter bud... Donald Trump.
His presidency over, Donald Trump said farewell to Washington on Wednesday but also hinted about a comeback despite a legacy of chaos, tumult & bitter divisions in the country he led for four years.
“So just a goodbye. We love you," Trump told supporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland where he walked across a red carpet and boarded Air Force One to head to Florida.
"We will be back in some form.”
Trump departed office as the only president ever impeached twice, & with millions more out of work than when he was sworn in and 400,000 dead from the coronavirus. Under his watch, Republicans lost the presidency & both chambers of Congress. He will be forever remembered for inciting an insurrection, two weeks before Democrat Joe Biden moved into the White House, at the Capitol that left five dead, including a Capitol Police officer, & horrified the nation. It was on Trump's on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2017, that he had painted a dire picture of “American carnage."
The first president in modern history to boycott his successor’s inauguration, Trump is still stewing about his loss & maintains that election won by Biden was stolen from him. Republican officials in several critical states, members of his own administration & a wide swath of judges, including those appointed by Trump, have rejected those arguments.
Trump refused to participate in any of the symbolic passing-of-the-torch traditions surrounding the peaceful transition of power, including inviting the Joe & Jill Biden to the White House for a get-to-know-you visit.
He did follow at least one tradition: The White House said Trump left behind a note for Biden. A Trump spokesman, Judd Deere, declined to say what Trump wrote or characterize the sentiment in the note, citing privacy for communication between presidents.
