With an emotionally charged, but at the same time full of warnings about their future was his farewell speech. US President Joe Biden spoke of a “dangerous concentration of power” among a few wealthy people in the United States. DISEPTION Without naming elected president Donald Trump, Biden said: “Today, in America an oligarchy of extreme wealth, power and influence is formed that really threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and our freedom and a fair opportunity for everyone to move forward.” He also pointed out that the US Constitution should be amended to say that no president should have immunity for crimes committed during his term of office. He also warned of a “technology-industrial complex” that, as he said, violates the rights of Americans and the future of democracy. “It will take time to feel the full impact of what we did together. But the seeds have been planted and will grow and bloom for the next decades” were his words. CORVERSE Considering his legacy and achievements of his government, President Biden, who closes a five-decade political career, said he hopes to last for the next few years. Joe Biden spoke of the achievements of their presidency in the US such as reducing the prices of prescription drugs for the elderly, passing gun safety laws and providing healthcare to veterans. At the same time he also mentioned foreign policy and pointed out how it “enhanced NATO”. “Ukraine is still free, and we pulled ahead of our competition with China and so much more”. Biden closed his farewell speech Wednesday with an optimistic note, as he told Americans he still believes “in the idea for which this nation stands”. “To you, the American people. After 50 years of public service, I give you my word. I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands. A nation where the power of our institutions and the character of our people are important and must endure,” he said and concluded. “Now it is your turn to stand guard. May all of you be the keepers of the flame. May you maintain faith. I love America. And you love her. God bless you all. And may God protect our troops. Thank you for this great honor.” “Four years ago, we were in a winter of danger and a winter of possibilities,” Biden wrote in his farewell letter. “We have been in the vortex of the worst pandemic for a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. But we joined as Americans and defied the situation. We came out stronger, more prosperous and safer.”
