During a rally at the Florida Convention Center, former President Donald Trump addressed his supporters, expressing his gratitude to his wife, Melania Trump, for her unwavering support during his election campaign. He kissed and hugged her, calling his anticipated victory the "greatest political moment of all time."
Trump was accompanied by his family, including Melania, their children, running mate JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. He took the opportunity to praise Melania's book, which he called the top-selling book in the country, and spoke fondly of her late mother, saying she would be "very proud" of her accomplishments.
He also thanked those involved in his campaigns and assured his supporters that the country would heal under his leadership. “We will help our country heal...we are going to fix our borders,” he declared, as the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
Trump also celebrated Republicans taking back control of the Senate, claiming it as a major victory. He singled out SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, calling him a "star" and recalling Musk's tireless campaigning for him, including his time in Philadelphia. Trump praised Musk for his role in using Starlink communications to aid North Carolina after a hurricane, saying it saved many lives.
JD Vance joined Trump on stage, describing his campaign as "the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States." Trump reiterated his stance on foreign policy, asserting that during his previous term, there were "no wars" except for the defeat of ISIS, and vowed to stop future conflicts.
The former President emphasized his goal of ending wars, declaring, “I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop the wars.”
