Donald Trump’s victory speech: ‘The greatest political movement of all time’

PALM BEACH — United States President-elect Donald Trump addressed supporters early Wednesday following media projections of his 2024 election victory. Soon to serve his second term as the 47th President, Trump thanked a range of individuals, including his family, Vice President, Elon Musk, and Dana White.

“This was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump declared, hailing his campaign as “the greatest political movement of all time.”

He spoke about healing the country, emphasizing the importance of border security as a step towards national unity and progress. Trump reassured his supporters, saying, “Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”

The President-elect concluded with a promise to usher in “the golden age of America” and a commitment to deliver a “strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve.”

SWING STATE SWEEP

Trump then discussed his dominant victory, one which saw him ensure his victory after winning the swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania on his way to reaching 270 electoral votes. He pointed out that beyond the aforementioned swing states, that he was also “winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, which will result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes.”

“We also have won the popular vote, that was great,” gushed Trump as the crowd began chanting “USA!”. The 2024 election marked the first time that a Republican candidate won both the popular vote and the election since George W. Bush in 2004.

Trump then discussed how Republicans “have taken back control of the senate,” exclaiming, “wow, that’s great!” Winning the upper chamber of the US Congress ensures that Democrats will not be able to block much of Trump’s agenda, such as appointing conservative judges or other government personnel.

“It also looks like well be keeping control of the House of Representatives,” added the president elect.

JD VANCE

Trump then began to thank the various people who helped him win the 2024 election, beginning with his family and “amazing children,” before praising the Vice President elect, JD Vance as he ushered him up to the stage.

“Well Mr president I appreciate you allowing me to join you on this incredible journey,” Vance said, beginning his praise for Trump’s election win which he dubbed “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”

“Under president trumps leadership we are never gonna stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children, and after the greatest political comeback in american history, were going to lead the greatest economic comeback in american history under Donald Trumps leadership,” said Vance. The latter half of his comment appealed to one of the major concerns of american citizens, that may have led them to voting for Trump, inflation. Under US President Joe Biden, inflation peaked at 9 per cent in 2022, a four-decade high. By September 2024, it had declined to 2.4 per cent.

Upon his return to the stage, Trump brought attention to America’s borders once again.

“We’re going to have to seal up those borders, and were going to have to let people come into our country, we want people to come back in, but we have to come back in, but they have to come in legally.”

ELON MUSK

After a comment from the crowd caught the attention of the president elect, Trump began raving about Elon Musk.

“We have a new star, a star is born, Elon!” exclaimed Trump.

“He’s an amazing guy, we were sitting together tonight, you know we spent two weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning,” said the soon to be 47th president of the US, before getting lost in a story about watching a rocket launch by Space X, Musk’s spacecraft company.

“This spaceship came down, and i saw those engines firing, and it looked like it as over, it was going to smash,” said an excited Trump before raving about how the rocket landed safely and was held “just like you hold your baby at night.”

The president elect then discussed how Musk had aided the people of North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. “The people from North Carolina came to me and they said would it be possible, at all possible, for you to speak to Elon Musk, we need Star-Link.”

“Elon they need it really really badly in North Carolina,” Trump said, recalling his conversation with Musk at the time.

“He saved a lot of lives,” the president elect said before adding that “we have to protect our geniuses, we don’t have many of them.”

DANA WHITE

Later on the president elect brought up Ultimate Fighting Chamionship CEO Dana White onto the stage. Trump lauded White, stating that “nobodies done a better job in sports.” White return the praise two-fold, saying that “nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family does.”

The UFC CEO said that the Trump was the ” the most resilient hard working man I’ve ever met in my life,” after discussing how “the machine” came after him, referring to the Democratic party and what Trump often dubs “the fake news.”

White also praised a few internet celebrities for their help in promoting Trump through their various podcasts. “I want to thank the Nelk Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin With The Boys, and last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan” said White.

The various podcasts that White praised, along with a few he failed to mention, garnered over 45 million views. However, Trump’s appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience alone brought in the same amount of views.

“This will forever be remembered as the day the american people regained control of their country

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. (RFK JR)

“This will forever be remembered as the day the american people regained control of their country,” Trump said in the closing moments of his speech before mentioning Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“He’s going to help make America healthy again,” Trump said, sending the crowd into a frenzy as they chanted “BOBBY!” RFK Jr., who dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump after being promised control of the US Department of Health and its various sub-agencies, has a history of spreading false information promoting the idea that vaccinations cause autism.
