Trump was flanked on stage by his family and Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance. "Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason," Trump told his supporters recollecting the two attempts on his life while on the campaign trail. He went on to add that he is determined to fight every day for the people of America by fulfilling all the promises that he made. From sealing borders to ending wars and "making America great again", here are five Donald Trump quotes as he addressed his campaign’s election night watch party in Florida's West Palm Beach. 

  • "We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're going to fix our borders. We're going to fix everything about our country and we've made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible."
  • "We're going to have to seal up those borders, and we're going to have to let people come into our country. We want people to come back in, but we have to let them come back in, but they have to come in legally. They have to come in legally."
  • "We want to have borders. We want to have security. We want to have things be good, safe. We want great education. We want a strong and powerful military. And ideally, we don't have to use it.You know, we had no wars. 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 wars."

  • "I will govern by a simple motto, promises made, promises kept. We're going to keep our promises. Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people. We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful, and free again. And I'm asking every citizen all across our land to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor. That's what it is. It's time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It's time to unite. And we're going to try."
  • "I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve, and that you deserve... Because together we can truly make America great again for all Americans. So I want to just tell you what a great honor this is. I want to thank you. I will not let you down. America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than it has ever been before. God bless you, and God bless America."
