President Donald Trump is extending his best wishes to President-elect Joe Biden in his final address as president and highlighting what he says are his accomplishments from his four years in office.
In a pre-taped address on Tuesday, Trump said, “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.”
“This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck — a very important word.” Trump said.
Trump proceeded to thank his family for their support, the Secret Service for their protection, and members of the Armed Forces and law enforcement officials throughout the country.
“Most of all, I want to thank the American people. To serve as your president has been an honor beyond description. Thank you for this extraordinary privilege. And that’s what it is—a great privilege and a great honor,” he added.

Trump recounted his success in passing tax cuts, slashing regulations, renegotiating trade deals, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, and economic growth.
“Incomes soared, wages boomed, the American Dream was restored, and millions were lifted from poverty in just a few short years. It was a miracle. The stock market set one record after another, with 148 stock market highs during this short period of time, and boosted the retirements and pensions of hardworking citizens all across our nation. 401(k)s are at a level they’ve never been at before.”
