President Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed that “we will be back in some form” after leaving the White House for the final time as president.
He wished in the incoming administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris “great luck and great success,” adding, “I hope they don’t raise your taxes, but if they do, I told you so.”
Biden and Harris were sworn into office a little after noon eastern on Wednesday.
Speaking at Andrews Air Force Base as he was about to depart to his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Trump cited his Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, record stock market prices and economic growth, and his judicial appointments as among his administration’s successes.
“What we’ve done has been amazing by any standard,” he said.
Trump acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge, and paid respect “to the incredible people and families who suffered so gravely from the China virus. It was a horrible thing that was put into the world.”

Joe is going to tear down everything related to the Republican Party.
I am not an extremist no am i a closed-minded person. I pray for Joe and all that serve our Country, so that THEY may be open to God’s will in their lives and in the business of our Country.
I pray that I am strong enough to be patient and allow their plan to unfold. Truly, my biggest concern is the USA that my children and Grandchildren are being forced to inherit and accept.
