While the counting is not yet completely finished, Donald Trump is already claiming to be the 47th president of the United States. He has already given a speech, during which he made a funny wink at his wife Melania.
Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 US presidential election. While he did not not yet gathered the 270 electoral votes required – he is still at 267 at the time of writing – the 78-year-old politician congratulated himself on having beaten Kamala Harris. Shortly after 7 a.m., he left his Mar-a-Lago residence to go to the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida, where hundreds of activists were waiting for him. It's surrounded by his entire clan and his family, including his children Tiffany, Eric, Donald, Ivanka and Barronas Joe Biden's successor took the stage, cheered by the crowd.
While the counting is still in progress, he is not the only one to consider himself the winner since French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated him on social networks. “Ready to work together as we have been able to do for four years. With your beliefs and with mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity”wrote Brigitte Macron's husband shortly before 9 a.m., making him one of the first European leaders to having recognized his election as the 47th President of the United States.
Donald Trump congratulated Melania for her book sales during his speech
For nearly 30 minutes, Donald Trump thanked his supporters during a press conference where the activists present continued to chant “USA !“. A speech which he took advantage of to thank his wife, Melania Trump, who therefore once again becomes First Lady at his side. In passing, he slipped in a surprising wink to his companion, whose business is clearly doing wonderfully.
“I would like to thank my very beautiful wife Melania, the first lady, who has the book that is the number 1 bestseller in the country“, said Donald Trump, before receiving a kiss from Barron's mom. Her memoirs, entitled Melania, in which she takes a position in favor of abortion, unlike her husband, are indeed a hit in the United States. It is therefore a couple for whom everything seems to be successful lately who is heading towards the White House.
