“God spared my life for a reason,” Donald Trump says in his victory speech, referring to the two assassination attempts he survived on the US campaign trail.
“And that reason was to save our country and restore America to greatness. And now we’re going to fulfill that mission together,” he says.
“The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me,” he adds.
