The American people have spoken.

Congratulations to President Trump on a strong win. Now, it¡¯s time for the American people to come together, pray for our country, and start the process of a peaceful transition.

That begins with Kamala Harris conceding. You can¡¯t just talk¡­

Here¡¯s the reason why Donald Trump won by the largest margin of any President in modern history. He¡¯s not an ideologue. He¡¯s not a policy wonk. He¡¯s an American badass. They tried to DQ him, jail him, kill him (twice). None of it worked. Our self-appointed ¡°betters¡± in the media¡­
