Sitting behind the Resolute Desk, the 82-year-old outgoing President gave a 19-minute address to the nation.

“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.”

He said: “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.
