President-elect Donald Trump has called for national healing, saying it is time people unite after a long brusing political campaign, that saw him defeat Hillary Clinton in November 8 vote.
“We have just finished a long and bruising political campaign,” Trump said in a Thanksgiving message via a YouTube video.
“Emotions are raw and tensions just don’t heal overnight. It doesn’t go quickly, unfortunately, but we have before us the chance now to make history together to bring real change to Washington, real safety to our cities, and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. So important to me, and so important to our country. But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation,” he said.
The campaign is over and now it is time to rebuild, he remarked.
“I am asking you to join me in this effort,” Trump, who is now shaping his administration, said.
“It is time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens. Because when America is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach, and I mean absolutely nothing.
“Let us give thanks for all that we have, and let us boldly face the exciting new frontiers that lie ahead.”
“It is my prayer, that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by a shared purpose and very, very common resolve.”
