Trump Destroyed for ‘Puffery and Lies’ in Departing Speech as He Tells America ‘Have a Good Life. We’ll See You Soon’

President Donald Trump was destroyed for his final remarks to the American people Wednesday morning, just before he boarded Air Force One for the very last time.
“Have a good life. We’ll see you soon,” Trump told America, after speaking for several minutes in off-the-cuff remarks CNN’s Jake Tapper described as “puffery and lies.” As Air Force One taxied for takeoff Tapper called it a “planeload of grievances and grudges.”
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer called Trump’s speech “repulsive,” and the event a “totally inappropriate campaign rally.”
Here’s how some are responding to Trump’s departing speech:

“Have a good life. We’ll see you soon.”
The final words of a failed, twice-impeached president.

What a contrast. Maskless Donald Trump and Melania Trump wave goodbye to fans at pep rally at Joint Base Andrews while President-elect Biden and Dr. Jill Biden leave Blair House with masks to go to church. pic.twitter.com/MT5rOLzis8

“We will back in some form … have a good life,” says Trump, befor he’s serenaded off the stage one last time as president by the thumping beat of “YMCA” pic.twitter.com/daAN2J23wO

He just couldn’t leave office without calling it the “China virus” one last time. FFS.

What a juxtaposition…
As Air Force One departs Joint Base Andrews with President and Mrs. Trump aboard, the Bidens are in church with masks on, and in the company of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell. pic.twitter.com/SypmbbH5iM

Trump’s message — don’t screwup the great things i’ve built. Completely divorced from reality.

Goodbye, birther trash. And your birther trash husband.
