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. Theres never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day.
As long as the American people hold in their hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing that this nation cannot achieve. Our communities will flourish. Our people will be prosperous. Our traditions will be cherished. Our faith will be strong. And our future will be brighter than ever before.
I go from this majestic place with a loyal and joyful heart, an optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that for our country and for our children, the best is yet to come.
Thank you, and farewell. God bless you. God bless the United States of America.

Introduction
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them.
They went out and happened to things.
Leonardo Da Vinci
This is the official record of the accomplishments and achievements of President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States, as documented on Whitehouse.gov in January, 2021. They now reside at the National Archives.
If something seems too BAD to be true.it probably is.
President Donald J. Trumps accomplishments during his term were many; although they were rarely mentioned. In fact, the reporting of the President from the time he won the election until he left office was primarily negative.
In 2017, a Pew Research study reported that 62% of the stories about President Trump in his first 60 days were negative. In contrast, negative reporting of President Obama was 20%, President George W. Bush was 28%, and President Clinton was 28%.
In 2018, Media Research Center analyzed over 1000 stories from ABC, CBS and NBC from the time period June 1 - Sept 30. They found 92% of the stories were negative. At that same time, the United States had achieved the lowest unemployment numbers in over 50 years. Did you see much coverage of the record setting economy?
The reality? For most Americans, the Trump years, prior to COVID-19, were years of peace, prosperity, and patriotism.
Have you heard the term memory hole?
The term memory hole comes from George Orwells novel, 1984. It was a hole in the office of Winston Smith, who worked in the Ministry of Truth. Anything that the government wanted eliminated or edited to reflect a different reality, was put down the memory hole where it was incinerated. Essentially, its revisionist history.
Wikipedia defines it this way:
A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.
