"We condemn bigotry & prejudice ... (&) reject the language of exclusion & separation" says Trump

CINCINNATI, UNITED STATES: Donald Trump pledged at his first post-election victory rally on Thursday to heal America's deep wounds, saying the country had no choice but to come together and reject bigotry.

"We're a very divided nation. But we're not going to be divided for long," the president-elect told thousands of supporters at an arena in Ohio, an early stop on a victory tour that will take him to several battleground states.



"We're going to find common ground and we will get the job done properly," he added.

"We condemn bigotry and prejudice in all of its forms... (and) reject the language of exclusion and separation."

I think they were hoping that the "inner cities" bit would be dropped from his speeches after the election. Lol. Pwned again! Either way, it's all bullshit

Once he deports or locks up half the country, it will be just peachy swell for him and the rest of his trump-smurfs. No more division.

It will be tremendously Smurfy.

We have nothing to Smurf but Smurf itself.
