Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States. In his victory speech at his Election Night headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump reflected on a recent assassination attempt on his life, stating that 'God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness.' He pledged to bring 'every ounce of energy, spirit and fight' to fulfill this mission with the help of the American people. He added, 'I hope God did put me here to save this country.' During rallies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump also mentioned that 'many people say that God saved me in order to save America,' referencing the attempted assassination in nearby Butler.
