Already our numbers are the best ever if you look at what happened until February a year ago, our numbers were at a level no one had ever seen before. And we got hit, nobody blames us for that, the whole world got hit. And then we built again. And now the stock market is actually substantially higher than it was at its higher point prior to the pandemic.
So you could say we built it twice. And you’re gonna see incredible numbers start coming in if everything is sort of left alone, be careful. Very complex, be careful. But you’re going to see some incredible things happening. And remember us when you see these things happening, if you would, remember us.
I’m looking at elements of our economy that are set to be a rocket ship up, it’s a rocket ship up. We have the greatest country in the world. We have the greatest economy in the world.
And as bad as the pandemic was — we were hit so hard, just like the entire world was hit so hard. Places that thought they got away with it didn’t get away with it, they’re suffering right now. We did something that is really considered a medical miracle, they’re calling it a miracle and that was the vaccine. We got the vaccine developed in nine months instead of nine years, or five years, or 10 years.
It was meant to take a long time, many, many years to develop a vaccine. We have two out, we have another coming almost immediately and it really is a great achievement. You should start to see great numbers in the next few months and you’re going to see those numbers really skyrocket downwards. We’ve worked hard and we’ve left it, as the athletes would say, we’ve left it all on the field.
We don’t have to come and say we’ll never say in a month when we’re sitting in Florida we’re not going to be looking at each other and say ‘if only we’d worked a bit harder’. We couldn’t have worked any harder.
We had a lot of obstacles and we went through the obstacles and we just got 75 million votes and that’s a record in the history of sitting Presidents. That’s an all-time record, by a lot. By many millions in the history of sitting presidents. It’s been really just an honour.

And one of the things we’re very, very proud of is the selection of almost 300 federal judges and three Supreme Court justices. That’s a really big number, that’s a record setting number. So we’ve done a lot and there’s still things to do. The first thing we have to do is pay our respects and our love to the incredible people and families who suffered so bravely from the China virus. It’s a horrible thing that was put on to the world.
We all know where it came from but it’s a horrible, horrible thing so be very careful, be very, very careful. But we want to pay great love, great love, to all the people who have suffered including families who have suffered so greatly. So with that I just want to say you are amazing people.
This is a great, great country. It is my greatest honour and privilege to have been your President. I will always fight for you, I will be watching, I will be listening and I will tell you that the future of this country has never been better. I wish the new administration great luck and great success.
I think they’ll have great success, they have the foundation to do something really spectacular. And again we put it in a position like it’s never been before despite the worst plague to hit since I guess you’d say 1917, over a hundred years ago.
And despite that, despite that, the things that we’ve done have been just incredible. And I couldn’t have done it without you.
So just a goodbye, we love you, we will be back in some form. And again in leaving I want to thank our vice President Mike Pence, and Karen, I want to thank Congress because we really worked well with Congress, at least certain elements of Congress. But we really did.
We’ve gotten so much done that nobody thought would be possible but I do want to thank Congress. I want to thank all of the great people of Washington DC, all of the people we worked with to put this miracle together. So have a good life. We will see you soon. Thank you, thank you very much.
