That’s why my farewell address tonight, I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. And this is a dangerous — and that’s the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultrawealthy people, and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.
That would be people like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill Gates who have been feeding the Dem political machine more than 2 decades . What he is complaining about is an"oligarchy" that wants the government to have less control of people .
His real concern is that some of the billionaires have escaped the Democrat machine .
You know, in his farewell address, President Eisenhower spoke of the dangers of the military-industrial complex. He warned us that about, and I quote, “The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power.” Six days — six decades later, I’m equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex that could pose real dangers for our country as well.
Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. We must hold the social platforms accountable to protect our children, our families and our very democracy from the abuse of power.
Pure projection on his part. He was not concerned about misinformation or suppressing the truth when his government controlled the narrative and punished people who did not play by his rules. The most positive thing I have seen from his reign is that there is some backlash against the censorship industrial complex that he and the emperor engineered.
We need to get dark money — that’s that hidden funding behind too many campaign contributions — we need to get it out of our politics.
This from the man who gave the Medal of Freedom to George Soros .
Everyone is entitled to a fair shot, not a guarantee, just a fair shot, an even playing field. Going as far as your hard work and talent can take you.
This from a guy who promoted unconstitutional DEI policies throughout his Presidency.
