President-Elect Donald Trump:
“Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and Independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.”
“And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. We’re going to get to work immediately for the American people and we’re going to be doing a job that hopefully you’ll be so proud of your president, you’ll be so proud. Again, it’s my honor, it’s an amazing evening, it’s been an amazing two year period, and I love this country. Thank you, thank you very much. Mike, thank you. Thank you to Mike Pence, thank you everybody.”

President-Elect Donald Trump:
“I want to tell the world community that while we will always put America’s interest first, we will deal fairly with everyone—with everyone. All people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility. Partnership, not conflict.”
“We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time, we will get along with all other nations willing to get along with us. We will be. We’ll have great relationships, we expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great, nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best.”

Republican U.S. president-elect Donald Trump stands with his son Barron and wife Melania at his election night rally in Manhattan, New York, Nov. 9, 2016.
Barron Trump, the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, likely will be the first young male child to live in the White House since 1963. John Kennedy Jr. was the last, a toddler who departed with his mother and older sister upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The 10-year-old Barron has two adult brothers and two adult sisters from Trump's previous two marriages.
