Trump says life was spared to ‘restore America to greatness’ during victory speech
In his historic victory speech, President-Elect Donald Trump declared that “God spared my life for a reason.”
Trump told supporters that divine intervention saved his life in two failed assassination attempts so he could win re-election and “stop wars.”
He made the statement while noting that the Republicans are the “party of common sense.”
Referring to his first term in the White House, Trump asserted:
“We had no wars, for four years we had no wars.
“Except we defeated ISIS.
“We defeated ISIS in record time, but we had no wars.
“They said ‘he will start a war’.
“I’m not going to start a war – I’m going to stop the wars.”
Trump highlighted how his win over failed Democrat candidate Kamala Harris is a huge victory for “democracy” and “freedom.”
“We are going to unlock America’s glorious destiny, we’re going to achieve the most incredible future for our people,” he said.
Trump promised to make America “better than it ever has been.”
He added he has been told that “God spared my life for a reason” after an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July and a second attempt in Florida in September.
“That reason is to save our country and to return America to greatness,” he says.
“And now we are going to fulfill that mission.”
Trump adds: “It’s time to put the divisions of the last four years behind us, it’s time to unite, and we’re going to try – we have to try – and it’s going to happen.
“Success will bring us together.”
He concludes his speech with a simple send-off:
“God bless you, and God bless America.”
