The outgoing president said, “I will always fight for you. I will be watching, I will be listening and I will tell you the future of the country has never been better.” And concluding by stating that he wished the “new administration great luck and great success.”
Trump said of the new administration, “They have the foundation to do something really spectacular. And again, we put it in a position like it has never been before.”
Trump also thanked Congress, adding, “At least certain elements in Congress.”
He ended his remarks saying, “We will be back in some form. Have a good life — we will see you soon.”
When invited to take the microphone, Melania Trump said, “Being your first lady was my greatest honor. Thank you for your love and your support.”
Trump did not attend the inauguration of the incoming administration. He actually touched down in Mar-a-Lago as the festivities started, reports said.
Based on his statements both to reporters prior to leaving the White House, and again during his farewell speech, one thing is clear: President Trump has not given up on the American people.
