President Donald Trump gave an extemporaneous speech before he boarded Air Force One for the final time, and delivered one unexpected dose of truth.

The president, who told tens of thousands of lies during four years in office, admitted that his administration had been unusual, which many said was an understatement.

"We were not a regular administration," Trump said, before leaving the presidency behind.

“We were not a regular administration."

Trump says his presidency was "amazing by any standard." He says moments later, "We were not a regular administration."

This quote sums up a lot. "We were not a regular administration," Trump says.

“we were not a regular administration" — Trump, going out with a dose of truth

After such “not a regular administration," as Trump said, his final public remarks as president were one of the more regular things he did (grading on a curve here).
