America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

On the other hand, Trump promised unspecified legal challenges in order to overturn the outcome of the presidential election as the 74-year-old refused to concede defeat.
“Our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated,” said Donald Trump.
