Trump: Thank you to my wife Melania and my family
“I want to thank my wonderful wife, Melania, who has been by my side and has the number one bestselling book in the U.S. She’s done a great job, she works hard. I also want to thank my family, my wonderful children. Melania’s mother, who was a wonderful woman, would be very proud.”
Trump: “We must secure our borders. They can return to the country, but they need to do it legally.”
Trump: “I made a good choice with (J.D. Vance), even though I initially heard criticism.”
J.D. Vance: “We made the biggest political comeback in American history, and we will do the same with the economy under Trump’s leadership.”
Trump: “We won with the MAGA movement. There is so much love in this room. My team helped in this amazing journey. This team of wonderful people. The USA has given us an unexpected mandate, to control the Senate as well, wow,” Trump continues.
Trump: “We will create the golden age of the USA. I will fight for every family, for your future, I will fight every day. I won’t rest until we have the safe and prosperous country we deserve. It will be the golden age of the USA. We will make America great again.”
Trump: “This is a movement like no one has ever seen. There has never been anything like this in this country. We will fix the problems in the country, we will secure the borders, and we will make history today. Look at what happened. Isn’t it crazy?”
