Biden’s Farewell Thanksgiving Message: A Heartfelt Tribute to Gratitude and Perseverance

[Social Media]

 

President Joe Biden marked his final Thanksgiving as president with a heartfelt message of gratitude and reflection, expressing appreciation for the trust placed in him over the past four years. Sharing his thoughts on the social platform X, Biden wrote, “With hearts full of gratitude: Happy Thanksgiving, America. Jill and I are so grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us these past four years — serving you has been the honor of our lives.”

The message was accompanied by a poignant video montage highlighting Biden’s recent visit with members of the Coast Guard. The video’s text mirrored his sentiments while paying tribute to those experiencing loss during the holiday season, recognizing “those who will have an empty seat at their table this year.”  

 

In his address, the president emphasized the resilience and optimism that define the nation. “You know we’re blessed to live in the United States of America. We’re literally the greatest country on Earth,” he declared. “No matter what, we never give up. We keep going. We keep the faith in America.”  

Biden’s Thanksgiving remarks came just days after he participated in the White House’s annual turkey pardoning ceremony, a lighthearted tradition marking the start of the holiday season. On Monday, he granted pardons to two turkeys named Peach and Blossom, who will now reside at the Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center as education ambassadors. Adding a touch of humor, Biden noted that the turkeys enjoyed a road trip set to the tune of “Livin’ on a Prayer.”  

 

“This event marks the official start of the holiday season here in Washington,” Biden said during the ceremony. “It’s also my last time to speak here as your president during this season and give thanks and gratitude. So let me say to you — it’s been the honor of my life, I am forever thankful.”  

 

Spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket, Massachusetts, Biden is also honoring his tradition of calling members of the military on the day, a gesture reflecting his deep respect for the armed forces. Vice President Kamala Harris joined him in extending holiday gratitude to those in service, according to the White House.  

 

The tone of Biden’s message stood in stark contrast to the statement issued by former President Donald Trump, who offered a divisive Thanksgiving post on Truth Social. Trump’s message read, “Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail... the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”  

 

As the holiday season progresses, Biden and Trump have publicly agreed to a peaceful transfer of power in January, marking a notable shift from the contentious aftermath of the 2020 election. Earlier this week, Biden signed a memorandum of understanding to ensure his Cabinet transitions seamlessly with their successors.  

 

Biden’s Thanksgiving message served as a reminder of his gratitude and belief in the resilience of the American spirit. In his parting words, he reaffirmed his enduring faith in the nation: “We keep going. We keep the faith in America.”

Well, I'm not sorry to see Biden go. I don't think he did a bad job the last four years, but he's clearly not able to carry on for another four. But I am sorry that he will be replaced by Trump. I predict the next four years will be chaos and completely catastrophic for the USA.

Wars, 20 million illegals, inflation, cost of living crisis and there is so much more we have to thank you for.

Thanks Joey, you did a great job.

Kamala's videoed Thanksgiving message had more joy and vibe. Apparently not on her first glass of wine of the day, she bragged about her campaign spending almost $1.5B in just over 100 days.

Most importantly, he sabotaged Kamalas campaign. Joe is alright by me

Joe is going out in a blaze of glory. Trying to steal Trump's thunder. 

Pity too little too late.

Well I don’t expect him to call for a violent attack on the Capitol in order to steal Trump’s election victory.

The only thing heartfelt things from this guy is his trash talk of the American people and all the names he has called Trump along with the Justice Dept. trying to bankrupt and imprison him.  This is the real Biden.

Biden will go down as the worst president in American history.

Happy Thanksgiving from MAGA , the elected leaders of America.

He's a good guy. But it's a shame that he didn't know when to call it quits, which will taint his legacy.

Very true.

If he had gotten lucky, and autocratic felon Trump hadn't won, it wouldn't have been as bad but he set it up so that there was very little chance of stopping him. 

Also, not helping Ukraine early enough with enough will be seen as a huge mistake.

Also his immigration policy.

There are positives too, but overall not so good.

can anyone guess the title of his book ?

 

Joe can't even remember it ....

The American people did not put their trust in Biden and that is why Trump won by a huge mandate. The people of American were lied to by the media and the Democrats about old Biden's Dementia. The only reason Biden persevered is because the Democrats kept him in the basement hidden away from truth of his failed health. Biden's legacy will be of left wing socialist with dementia that permitted the U.S. borders to breached and permitted millions of illegals into the United States.

He will go down in US history as THE worst president the country has ever had.  That is if he doesn't start a nuclear war before Jan 20th.  I give that a better than 50/50 chance - then history ends.

If you really want to mess something up, then just give it to the “democrats”
