“Now, as I prepare to transfer power to a new administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we have begun is just beginning,” Trump told supporters in a speech.

Trump never mentioned President-elect Joe Biden's name during the nearly 20-minute video, but wished the new administration as a whole good luck.

“We send our best wishes,” Trump said, “and we also want them to have good luck, which is a very important word.”

Listing many of his economic and foreign policy actions in office, Trump praised the burgeoning stock market and said he was "proud to be the first president in decades not to start new wars."

He criticized attack by their supporters on the US Capitol, as a result of which he was impeached. In doing so, Trump used much harsher language than January 6, the day of the riots.

“Political violence is an attack on everything we hold dear as Americans,” he said. “This cannot be tolerated.”
