She also said serving as the first lady has been the "greatest honor of my life."

Twitter users did not hold back when sharing their thoughts about Melania's message, which has received over 4 million views across multiple platforms. Some called out the first lady for her alleged lack of accomplishments, while others simply said they were happy about her White House departure.

"You will not be missed," one person tweeted. "Btw, what did you do besides ruin the rose garden and build a tennis pavilion?"

"Farewell and good riddance to Melania Trump, who has been the most useless First Lady in American history," a second Twitter user wrote. "She never had any real interest in the job. Her passion was fashion and looking the part. She brought nothing to the table and #BeBest was a joke. She will not be missed."

"melania to jill the upgrade is so good," one commented, while a second user wrote, "I’m so looking forward to Jill as First Lady."

"After 4 long years America will have a genuine, caring FLOTUS," another Twitter user posted alongside a photo of Biden.

One person tweeted, "Beautiful and inspiring farewell speech by the best First Lady the United States ever had @MELANIATRUMP Thank you, @FLOTUS, for your presence, for your invaluable contribution to us The People."

"Going to miss our beautiful, classy First Lady so much," another wrote.

"A true class act and one of the most graceful First Ladies. You will be missed. May got [sic] bless you and your family," James Matthew Hill wrote.
