In the early hours of November 6, Trump gave his victory speech at West Palm Beach in Florida, calling his campaign “the greatest political movement of all time.” He said the country saw a “historic realignment, uniting citizens of all backgrounds behind a common core of common sense.” His election will lead to a “Golden Age of America,” Trump stated.
