Trump says he survived assassination attempt ‘for a reason’
Trump just briefly mentioned the assassination attempt made on him in July, which he survived after a bullet grazed his ear at a campaign rally.
He tells the crowd his life was “saved for a reason” – a suggestion that was made throughout his campaign.

Trump says he’ll bring “every ounce of spirit and fight” to the White House, and that being president is the “most important job in the world”. As a reminder, Trump has declared victory but he has not yet reached the required number of Electoral College votes. He is currently four shy.
He adds that he’ll run his government on the motto: “Promises made, promises kept.”
And that’s that – as is customary with Trump speeches, YMCA is played as he leaves the stage.
