My presidency will be the golden age of America, says Trump

Donald Trump, presidential candidate of the Republican party in the US, says his presidency will be the golden age of America.

Trump spoke to supporters in Florida as he declared victory in the presidential poll keenly contested against Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The former president is projected to win the poll after he clinched battleground states such as Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

So far, Trump has secured 267 electoral college votes. He needs a simple majority of 270 to win.

Trump said he would not rest until he delivers a “safe and strong” country to the American people.

“This was a movement like nobody has seen before and frankly, I believe this was the greatest political movement of all time in this country and maybe beyond and now it is going to reach a new level of importance because we have to help our country heal,” he said.

“We have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly. We are going to fix our borders. We are going to fix everything about our country.

“We made history for a reason tonight and we overcame obstacles nobody thought possible. It is now clear that we have achieved the most incredible, political – then look what happened, is this crazy?

“But it is a political victory that our country has never seen before. I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president and to every citizen I will fight for you and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.

“I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe America that our children deserve and you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America, that is what we have tonight.

“This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”
