82-year-old U.S. President Joe Biden received a pillow support during his 18-minute farewell speech from the Oval Office. Photos taken from outside the office highlighted a small pillow placed on top of the leather cushion of the presidential chair. Biden, the oldest serving president in U.S. history, often struggles with balance issues, endurance, and mental performance. Instances of tripping on the steps of Air Force One and mistakes made during speeches, as well as coughing fits, are among the examples. The images also show an emergency tissue box placed to Biden's right, in a spot not visible to the cameras. In the Oval Office, he was seated with Vice President Kamala Harris, his wife Doug Emhoff, and First Lady Jill Biden. Allegations suggest that there are cold winds blowing between Harris and the First Lady. Biden's son Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen Biden were also in the room. In his speech, Biden stated that his term has been "one of the most challenging years in American history" and warned that "an oligarchy" is approaching, referencing Trump's ally Elon Musk. "The oligarchy taking shape in America today threatens our democracy, our fundamental rights, our freedoms, and the fair chance for everyone to move forward," he said. The president warned about the "technology-industrial complex," pointed out the "dirty money" in politics, and called for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress. Critics labeled these comments as hypocrisy. Biden, who served as a senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009, proposed a limit of 18 years for Supreme Court justices' terms. Referring to Donald Trump, who will take over the presidency, Biden stated, "The Constitution must clearly state that no president is above the law for crimes committed while in office." Biden concluded his speech with the words, "I wish success to the next administration because I want America to succeed."
