The winner of the United States presidential election, Donald Trump, has said that many people around him have told him that his life was spared by God for a reason—specifically, to become President of the U.S. again.
Speaking at West Palm Beach, Florida, during his victory speech, the 47th president, who has yet to be sworn into office after what many have called a historic comeback, said, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason.”
He continued, explaining that the reason was to “save our country and restore America to greatness. And now we’re going to fulfill that mission together.”
Donald Trump acknowledged that the task ahead would not be easy, but he promised, “I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight that I have in my soul to the job you have entrusted me with,” adding, “This is a great job; this is the most important job in the world.”
Trump has faced multiple threats to his life before this election. Recently, he survived a close call when a bullet grazed his ear at a campaign rally.
Trump also stated that he is determined to make America great again. He promised to improve America’s healthcare, immigration system, economy, and international relations.
He emphasized his commitment to cutting taxes and making America attractive once again.
“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said to jubilant supporters, as he declared a “magnificent victory.”
Just before Trump spoke, Fox News projected that he had won the election; other US TV networks are yet to do so.
