In a heartfelt farewell, President Biden sat on a pillow to deliver his final address, reflecting on his presidency and warning of future challenges.
Washington: So, President Biden gave his farewell address from the Oval Office, and guess what? He sat on a pillow to help him out. It was a pretty emotional 18-minute speech.
At 82, he’s the oldest president, and it showed a bit. Photos caught him with a small cushion wedged in his chair, giving him that extra boost. You could see he was trying to make the best of it.
He talked about how tough his presidency has been, calling it “one of the toughest years” in U.S. history. He even warned about an “oligarchy” forming, taking a jab at Elon Musk. It was a serious moment.
His family and some staff were there, all dressed in black, which added to the somber vibe. Biden mentioned the “tech-industrial complex” and urged Congress to tackle “dark money” in politics. But some folks called him out for being hypocritical.
He also pushed for term limits for Supreme Court Justices, saying they shouldn’t serve for life. And he made it clear that no president should be above the law, especially with Trump coming in.
In the end, he wished the next administration well, saying he wants America to succeed. It was a bittersweet goodbye, for sure.
