President Joe Biden’s first and only term is wrapping up, and he couldn’t help but gaslight the American people one last time in his farewell letter.
Biden released his farewell letter on Wednesday, and it’s the most whitewashed version of the last four years that one could imagine. Had he not recently been voted the second-worst president ever, one might think this letter came from a competent leader who ushered in an era of prosperity for an ailing nation.
Instead, it’s just Biden.
“Today, we have the strongest economy in the world and have created a record 16.6 million new jobs. Wages are up. Inflation continues to come down,” he opened.
“Four years ago, we stood in a winter of peril and a winter of possibilities. We were in the grip of the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,” Biden wrote, throwing in an obligatory snipe at the incoming president. “But we came together as Americans, and we braved through it. We emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.”
“I ran for president because I believed that the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, that’s still the case.”
“America is an idea stronger than any army and larger than any ocean. It’s the most powerful idea in the history of the world. That idea is that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We’ve never fully lived up to this sacred idea, but we’ve never walked away from it either. And I do not believe the American people will walk away from it now,” the president said.
“It has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years,” the letter continues, inadvertently reminding the American people of the need for congressional term limits. “Nowhere else on Earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as President of the United States. I have given my heart and my soul to our nation. And I have been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people.”
“History is in your hands. The power is in your hands. The idea of America lies in your hands. We just have to keep the faith and remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is simply nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together.”
Below the letter was a “fact sheet” to help remind you of the accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration, for those so overwhelmed with their failures that they couldn’t think of anything nice to say. The subjects ranged from “Ending the COVID-19 Pandemic” to “Making Markets Fairer and Cracking Down on Junk Fees and Corporate Greed.”
President Biden will give his official farewell address Wednesday evening from the Oval Office.
