“最重要的是，我要感谢美国人民，”特朗普说。“担任你们的总统是无法形容的荣幸。谢谢你给我这份殊荣。”
特朗普随后谴责了国会大厦的暴乱，并呼吁美国人“团结在我们共同的价值观周围”。
“所有美国人都对袭击我们的国会大厦感到震惊。政治暴力是对我们作为美国人珍惜的一切的攻击。这是绝对不能容忍的，”特朗普说。
他警告说，当他离任时，这个国家面临的最大危险是“对我们国家的伟大失去信心”——继续谈论这个国家在威胁下的共同“遗产”，并谴责“政治审查和黑名单”。
“现在，当我准备在周三中午将权力移交给新政府时，我想让你知道，我们发起的运动才刚刚开始，”他在结束20分钟的告别演说时说。

Biden, Harris hold memorial for Americans lost to COVID-19
Just hours before they are to be sworn into office, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris honored the 400,000 Americans who have died as a result of the novel coronavirus with a tribute in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
After an invocation, Harris called on Americans to stand together.
"For many months we have grieved by ourselves. Tonight we grieve and begin healing together. Though we may be physically separated, we, the American people, are united in spirit," she said.
Biden thanked the country's nurses and also echoed the call for unity.
"To heal we must remember, and it’s hard sometimes to remember, but that’s how we heal," he said.
As the ceremony ended, 400 lights along the pool were lit up, symbolizing the lives lost. Church bells around the country rang in unison and gospel singer Yolanda Adams sang Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
White House releases Trump's pre-taped farewell address
The White House has released apre-taped farewell addressfrom President Trump on his final full day in office.
"We did what we came here to do – and so much more," Trump said, speaking from scripted remarks directly into the camera and standing behind a lectern with the presidential seal. "This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck -- a very important word."
Trump thanked several people, including Vice President Mike Pence.
"Most of all, I want to thank the American people," Trump said. "To serve as your president has been an honor beyond description. Thank you for this extraordinary privilege."
Trump then condemned the riot at the Capitol and called on Americans to "unite around our shared values."
"All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans.It can never be tolerated," Trump said.
He warned that the greatest danger the country faces as he leaves office is "a loss of confidence in our national greatness" -- going on to talk about the shared "heritage" of the country under threat and condemning "political censorship and blacklisting."
"Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning," he said, closing out the 20-minute farewell address.
