Who would think?
But he became President, too.
He's a MAGA guy, too.
Make Argentina great again.
Right?
Make Argentina great again.
I kept hearing about this man.
I kept hearing about this man in beautiful Argentina,
and it is beautiful, but, boy, did it have inflation.
Inflation made it less beautiful.
I hear you're doing fantastically.
We're very proud of you, actually.
And make Argentina great again.
Thank you very much.
Great honor to have you.
But now it's my honor to address you for the first
time as your 47th President of the United States.
So many people.
Secretary Chris Wright.
Oh, he's going to get that energy out of the ground.
Secretary Scott Turner.
A very good friend of mine.
Is this guy central casting, though?
Tom Holman.
Is he central casting?
Where is he?
Hello, Tom.
Are you?
I love that.
How could I love a guy like that?
But I do.
He's doing a great job.
Thank you, Tom, very much.
Thank you.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders.
Thank you, Sarah.
Thank you.
And Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday.
I love that name.
We're also honored to be joined by President Duda
of Poland, who's a fantastic man and a great
friend of mine.
And we got 84 percent of the Polish people that
voted for us, so you must be doing something right,
huh?
Hanging out with Trump.
And again, President Millet of Argentina.
Thank you very much.
What a great guy.
And the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico.
Thank you, Robert.
Thank you.
Nice to see you.
The leader of the U.K.
Reform Party, who, by the way, did really well in
that last election.
I've been his friend for a long time, and I wasn't
sure, am I supposed to be his friend or not?
But it never mattered to me if he did well or not.
I always liked him.
But it's easier to like him when he got the kind of
votes he got.
He really took it by storm.
And they say he's going to do even better this time.
Nigel Farage.
Where is Nigel?
Thank you, Nigel.
Thank you.
What a great guy.
The leader of Spain's Vox Party, Santiago Obiscal.
Thank you, Santiago.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I thought that was you.
Thank you very much.
Great job you're doing.
And a friend of mine, Eduardo Bolsonaro of
Brazil, the Chamber of Deputies.
Thank you.
Say hello to your father.
Thank you very much.
Great family.
Great gentleman and a great family.
And our great First Lady, Melania, is watching us
right now on television.
So give her a hand.
Give her a hand.
Thank you.
Oh, she's going to be happy.
That's so nice.
We love our First Lady.
Everybody does.
With the help of so many incredible supporters here
today, we're going to forge a new and lasting
political majority that will drive American
politics for generations to come.
I think we're going to do fantastically well in the
midterms.
You know, in theory, the one that wins the
presidency does not do well in the midterms, but
I think this is going to be a change.
We're at a level.
I don't think we've been at this level maybe ever as
the Republican Party.
We're a bigger, better, stronger party than ever
before.
More people in our party than ever before.
But the people have given us a resounding mandate
for dramatic change in Washington, and we are
going to deliver it.
We're going to use it, and we're going to make
America great again by using it.
So it's going to be something.
But think of it at the presidential level.
We won the popular vote by millions and millions of
votes.
We swept all seven swing states, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia,
Arizona, Nevada, all by great margins.
We won 85 percent of all of the counties in
America.
That means that map was red.
Did you ever see the map?
Did you see the certified map?
Where is it?
I want to see a certified map.
It's all red.
You can hardly find the blue.
Think of this.
They won 525 counties, and we won 2,600 counties.
It's the biggest margin ever recorded.
And, incredibly, for the first time ever, all 50
states shifted toward the Republican Party.
It's never happened.
So it was, indeed, too big to rig.
We won the largest number of African American votes
in Republican history, by far.
We won the largest number of Hispanic American
votes.
Any Republican ever.
Hispanic Americans, we love you.
The energy, the brilliance of Hispanic
Americans.
We won all of the cities and towns along the Texas
border, whereas before I ran, we won none.
We never used to win any.
I got a call from our great governor of Texas who
said, President, you just won every single town
along the Texas border to Mexico.
I said, oh, is that good?
He said, it hasn't happened since Reconstruction.
I said, define Reconstruction for me.
He said, that means essentially the Civil War.
That's a long time.
But that was when I first heard about it, actually.
Our party has become the proud voice of hard-working
citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
