President of the United States, Donald Trump, extended gratitude to a long list of groups that contributed to his stunning electoral victory over US Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5.
In a long victory speech after it was clear that he was on course to get over 270 electoral collage votes to emerge winner of the polls, Trump delivered a victory speech to a teeming crowd at West Palm Beach, Florida on November 6.
Whiles the two main contenders wooed the Arab and Muslim community especially in light of the ongoing Isreal-Hamas war, Trump appeared to have won that battle as he had a Muslim community openly endorsing his candidature.
His full victory speech (transcript) has been shared by Newsweek. At Iqra Today, our interest is what he said about Arabs and Muslims. Read the relevant portion below:
“But we have the greatest people also. Maybe that’s the most important thing. This campaign, this campaign has been so historic in so many ways, we’ve built the biggest, the broadest, the most unified coalition.
“They’ve never seen anything like it in all of American history. They’ve never seen any. Young and old, men and women, rural and urban. And we had them all helping us tonight. When you think, I mean, I was looking at it. I was watching it. They had some great analysis of the people that voted for us. Nobody’s ever seen anything like that.
“They came from, they came from all quarters. Union, nonunion, 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. You know, we’re the party of common sense,” he emphasized.
