“We’re going to have to seal up those borders,” he stated, adding, “We want people to come back…” We have to let them back in, but only lawfully.”
Trump praised his running mate, J.D. Vance, as well as his wife and family.
“He’s shown to be a terrific option. I took some heat at first, but I knew he had a good brain, about as good as it gets,” he remarked. “And we cherish our family… “We’re going to have a great four years,” he stated.
Vance described their victory as “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America”.
