President Trump and entourage for his victory speech at 2:47 a.m. Nov. 7, 2025

In promising a "golden age of America," Donald J. Trump will return to the White House as the 47th President after an historic second presidential win by taking both the Electoral college and the popular vote as citizens rebelled at the ballot box against the Biden/Harris regime.
Trump, his family and extended entourage didn't take the stage at his election watch party in West Palm Beach until 2:47 a.m. on Wednesday, waiting until the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania put him over the needed 270 electoral votes and Fox News named him as the winner.

"We're going to help our country heal," Trump declared. "We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're going to fix our borders, we're going to fix everything about our country and we've made history for a reason tonight..."
"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. And every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family 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 and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America, that's what we have to have."
Trump's return path to Washington was rocky, especially during the last year as court cases in numerous states along with mass media misrepresentations angered his opponents and scared many people. But the constant treachery and lawfare energized others, turning those in of all walks of life into supporters as they recognized -- and he repeated at rallies -- they weren't "just coming after me, they are coming after you."
Every day, regular folks felt the damage to their pocketbooks piled on from the Biden/Harris administration at the gas pump and the cash register. They watched illegal immigrants getting the red carpet treatment with hotels and housing, free health care, phones and food while they struggled to pay their own family's bills. City budgets and school budgets were busted to cater to families and children who could not speak English and needed free services.
Worse, horrific murders, rapes, thefts, car jackings, retail theft and other crimes by illegal migrants filled the news across the nation. The Biden/Harris progressive policies aimed at defunding the police, cashless bail that allowed criminals to go free as they committed dozens of new crimes, and constant disorder in the streets with homeless camps and unlicensed motor scooters and ebikes going every which way overwhelmed the regular citizenry - no matter their own national origin or legal immigrant routes.
Trump spent his final week campaigning with two to three rallies a day in swing states, finishing up with an exhausting four on the Monday before election day. He didn't even take the stage at the last one in Grand Rapids, Michigan until after midnight -- the morning -- of election day.
Despite not returning to Palm Beach until around 5 a.m., he Melania and son Barron, voting for the first time, made their way to the polls. The extended family and friends spent the rest of the day at Mar-a-Lago where supporters, including Elon Musk and his own little boy, gathered to await the country's future.

"We have a great feeling of love in this very large room with unbelievable people standing by my side," Trump said. "These people have been incredible, they've made the journey with me and we're going to make you very happy, we're going to make you very proud of your vote."

Senator and now vice-president elect J.D. Vance said, "...under President Trump's leadership, we're never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children. And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we're going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history under Donald Trump's leadership."

Called to speak, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO, Dana White, declared, "Nobody deserves this more than him, and nobody deserves this more than his family does. This is what happens when the machine comes after you. What you've seen over the last several years. This is what it looks like. Couldn't stop him. He keeps going forward. He doesn't quit. He's the most resilient, hardworking man I've ever met in my life. His family are incredible people. This is Karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve it as a family."
Actor Christopher Walken was also there election night supporting Trump.
During his victory speech, Trump said, his voters "came from all quarters. Union, non-union, African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Arab American, Muslim American—we had everybody and it was beautiful. It was a historic realignment. Uniting citizens of all backgrounds around a common core of common sense.”
His rallies had been a reflection of that melding with people of all colors from many countries. The Front Row Joe's who followed him around the country included a Vietnamese couple who traveled in a Trump flagged van.

After Hillary Clinton equated the massive Madison Square Garden gathering to a Nazi rally and a day later President Biden called Trump supporters "garbage," energized rallygoers came in garbage bags and construction vests, while Trump jumped in a garbage truck and wore a bright orange vest to speak in Wisconsin.

Earlier on election evening, an Israeli journalist confided that he and many Israelis were praying for Trump to win, just as a cousin in Israel has been telling me the same. Jewish New Yorkers also pushed up Trump's totals and were waving Israeli flags at the Madison Square Garden rally.
In the Palm Beach Convention Center's lobby where the Make American Great Again Instagram wall had attracted selfies throughout the night, a large group was now singing a Christian hymn, “How Great Thou Art."
"We're going to make our country better than it ever has been," Trump said in conclusion. "They said that many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together. We're gonna fulfill that mission. 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.
"This is a great job that, there is no job like this. This is the most important job in the world. Just as I did in my first term, we had a great first term, a great, great first term. I will govern by a simple motto: Promises made, promises kept. We're going to keep our promises. Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people. We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful, and free again."
Now all Trump has to do is keep his promises and Make America Great Again.
