Trump: ‘Life Spared to Restore America To Greatness’
President-elect Donald Trump proclaimed, "God spared my life for a reason," during his victory speech at Trump Headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, following his decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump, who has reportedly survived two assassination attempts since July, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to serve a second term. His 25-minute address was met with enthusiastic cheers and chants of “USA! USA!” from the crowd.
“This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump began. “In addition to winning key battleground states like North Carolina—great places—Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, we’re now ahead in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska. This would give us at least 315 electoral votes, a tremendous result. We’ve also won the popular vote. That was great. That was great,” he said as supporters erupted in applause.
Trump then reflected on his journey, attributing his success to divine purpose: “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and restore America to greatness. And now, we’re going to fulfill that mission together.”
He expressed his appreciation for the historic victory, saying, “Winning the popular vote feels amazing—it’s a great feeling of love. We’re surrounded by incredible people here, individuals who’ve stood by my side through this journey. We are going to make you very happy and very proud of your vote.”
Trump emphasized the significance of this moment in American history: “I hope you’ll look back and say, ‘That was one of the truly important moments of my life, when I voted for this incredible group of people, beyond just the president.’ America has given us an unprecedented mandate.”
Declaring the stakes ahead, Trump said, “The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight in my soul to this role. We are going to fix our borders, rebuild our nation, and fulfill the reason we made history tonight.”
Calling the victory unparalleled, Trump remarked, “This political victory is unlike anything our country has ever seen. I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president—and your 45th president.”
Trump pledged unwavering dedication to the nation: “Every citizen, every family, every future—I will fight for you every single day. With every breath in my body, I’ll work tirelessly to deliver a strong, safe, and prosperous America. This is the beginning of the golden age of America.”
He also highlighted the MAGA movement’s success in regaining control of the Senate. “We’ve taken back the Senate, with wins in Montana, Nevada, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Every one of these victories was hard-fought and driven by the incredible efforts of our movement.”
As he concluded, Trump celebrated the historic achievements of his campaign and the people who made them possible. “Tonight, we overcame obstacles no one thought we could, and it’s clear we’ve achieved the most incredible political victory in our country’s history.”
