“Thank you. Thank you very much, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting; complicated business; complicated. Thank you very much.
I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton. She congratulated us, it’s about us, on our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. I mean, she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. I mean that very sincerely.
Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me.
For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.
As I’ve said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign, but rather an incredible and great movement made up of millions of hard-working men and women, who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their families. It’s a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs who want and expect our government to serve the people – and serve the people it will.
Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. I’ve spent my entire life and business looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what I want to do for our country. Tremendous potential. I’ve gotten to know our country so well, tremendous potential. It’s going to be a beautiful thing. Every single American will have the opportunity to realise his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.”
We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.
We will also finally take care of our great veterans. They’ve been so loyal, and I’ve gotten to know so many over this 18-month journey. The time I’ve spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honours.
Our veterans are incredible people. We will embark upon a project of national growth and renewal. I will harness the creative talents of our people and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. It’s going to happen.
We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time, we will get along with all other nations willing to get along with us. We will be. We’ll have great relationships. We expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great.
Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best.
We must reclaim our country’s destiny and dream big and bold and daring. We have to do that. We’re going to dream of things for our country and beautiful things and successful things once again.
I want to tell the world community that while we will always put America’s interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone, with everyone — all people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility. Partnership, not conflict.
And now I’d like to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight, very, very historic victory. First, I want to thank my parents, who I know are looking down on me right now.
Great people. I’ve learned so much from them. They were wonderful in every regard. I had truly great parents.
I also want to thank my sisters, Mary Anne and Elizabeth, who are here with us tonight. And, where are they? They’re here some place. They’re very shy, actually. And my brother Robert, my great friend. Where is Robert? Where is Robert? My brother Robert. And they should all be on this stage, but that’s OK. They’re great. And also my late brother, Fred. Great guy. Fantastic guy. Fantastic family. I was very lucky. Great brothers, sisters; great, unbelievable parents.
To Melania and Don, and Ivanka, and Eric and Tiffany and Baron, I love you and I thank you, and especially for putting up with all of those hours. This was tough. This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and it’s tough. So I want to thank my family very much. Really fantastic. Thank you all. Thank you all.”
(Mr Trump goes on to thank some political allies, such as Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie.)
We’re going to get to work immediately for the American people. And we’re going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president. You’ll be so proud.
Again, it’s my honour. It was an amazing evening. It’s been an amazing two-year period. And I love this country. Thank you. Thank you very much.”
Donald Trump this morning
FIGHT!
Donald Trump’s Election Speech (SkyNews)
Meanwhile…
“He ran against Goldman Sachs..”
This morning.
Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar talks to RT about the presidential elections results and explains why Trump won and how social media is the new journalism.

Was watching the election results coming in live. NYT’s website had a gauge “Clinton’s chance of winning = 82%”, it dipped slightly to 66% and I joked “Oh here we go, another fuppin’ Brexit”. Well, it’s done now.
Jeremy you smug git, fupp off back to Engerland…
Just getting some practice in for when we finally elect Denis (The Haiti (Clinton Foundation) Menace) O’Brien…
:-J
“We will get along with all other nations willing to get along with us..”
That’s the spirit. Sigh
Haha.. ye…
“We will seek common ground, not hostility. Partnership, not conflict.”
I so really want to believe it…. I really dooo…..
— Ahhh!!!… I just can’t….
It’s ok, remain skeptical, deep breaths and count to a hundred.
:-J
Might come as a shock to him that his old life is gone forever.
He has a very serious job now, can’t use a phone, can’t watch TV all day, will be constrained by constitution, supreme court, congress, secret service.
He’ll live in a smaller house than he is used to and will have a degree of scrutiny that will be very uncomfortable.
He’ll deflect the hard work to others and his advisors. I’d say not much will change in how the US goes about itself. Same way not much changed when Obama got in..

George Doobya didn’t change his lifestyle while president, Cheney called the shots. Why would it be different for Trump?
social media is the new journalism.
That people actually believe this is more frightening than Trumps election.
What!
There is an element of truth to it. Twitter especially has become a man source of information for most established outlets.
Owen Wilson to play Trump in “Donald: An American Story”.
information != journalism.
Journalism
Journalism is the discipline of collecting, verifying, analyzing and presenting information gathered regarding current events, including trends, issues and people.
Those who practice journalism are known as journalists
We are living in an era where journalism no longer reports the truth for the most part and rarely at all unless there is a bias or self interest involved usually for a profit motive.
It’s also known as the post-journalism era.
Now you know the definition you can have fun with an idea about it…..
:-J
Build a bridge you Shill
And that’s what people scream at all the social media commentators with views opposed to their own.
Either you actually believe that the DNC are paying me to destablise trumps campaign (and now presidency) on a blog published from a small island 5000 miles away from washington or you don’t actually know what the word shill means.
It would help explain why they lost…
:-J
Captain freegear wasn’t replying to you Rotide.
Yes I was rotide is a shill again!

For what it’s worth………
If you want to inject some interesting facts about this complicated world directly into your brain like a crash course or cram session in history and geo politics… cause and effect… etc.
I strongly recommend you watch Adam Curtis’ documentary( history,art,journalism,essay,thriller?) called “HyperNormalisation”

Trailer

It’s on the BBC iplayer right now and like all his other work it’s fuppin awesome and yes even more so with Trump being in it.
It’s also on various other websites like this good one – thoughtmaybe.com
BE CAREFUL OF WATCHING COPIES ON YOUTUBE EDITED TO GET PAST RESTRICTIONS
Sit back, relax and enjoy a wild ride with truth and facts straight through the confusion and bizarreness relentlessly permeating all around us….

Thanks Bodger, great vid from RT with Pepe Escobar.
:-J
Good speach from him.
If he’s serious about the infrastructure spend then that’s great. Hillary’s plan was pretty crap – build fiber everywhere! No point providing miners or blue collar factory workers with access to high speed broadband if they’ve no I.T. skills.
Billionaire reality show host with no political experience wins election by promising to rid the country of brown people.
