Trump Sends New Administration ‘Best Wishes’

Quote:
In a farewell video released on his final full day in office, President Donald Trump offered prayers and best wishes to his successor, Democrat Joe Biden, but without ever mentioning him by name.

“This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous,” Trump said in the video posted online 20 hours prior to the end of his presidency. “We also extend our best wishes. And we also want them to have luck — a very important word.”

In the nearly 20 minutes of remarks taped on Monday, Trump took credit for creating “the greatest economy in the history of the world.” He also said he was “especially proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars.”

As the video was released by the White House on YouTube, a private jet carrying President-elect Biden landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where Trump is to be sent off with a final ceremony Wednesday morning. The president will then make his final flight on Air Force One to the state of Florida.

"The mob was fed lies,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."

Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro of Texas, who is one of the impeachment trial mangers, told ABC News on Sunday that “one of the other purposes of impeachment in this case is to make sure that President Trump is not able to run for federal office again, that he’s not able to seek the presidency.” He said anyone who “incited a riot, an attempted coup of the United States government, should not be president again.”

In a Marist Poll taken last week, 16% of respondents characterized Trump as one of the best presidents in U.S. history, while 47% ranked him as one of the worst.

Started no new wars?

But wait, I thought that when the US started wars in the past it was always out of necessity. I thought wars started because "they" were attacking us.

Is this not the rationalization used by conservatives to justify starting wars? Does this mean that from now on, every time the US starts a new war, that the fault is our own?

Whenever there's a war, conservatives want to say we're defending ourselves against aggression, but whenever we manage to avoid one for four years, all of a sudden they want to take credit for that as well. Go figure.

The coup happened decades ago, when the billionaire class took control of our government. It's called an oligarchy.

Your TV outputs approx 24Hz , most dog whistles are higher frequency thus you wouldn't of heard it unless you were there.

I wonder if Mitch will offer up any names for those "other powerful people"?

Agreed.
And political leaning is irrelevant.
Budding Billionaires are exploiting the Climate Change movement's clean energy industry, making a mockery of left-wing ideology and creating even worse CO2 emissions, long term.
Refer to Mickael Moore's recent documentary. 8)

Jawohl, meine kleiner.
