President Donald Trump delivered a victory speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday night in Nashua, following a knockout GOP primary win in the Granite State.
Trump opened his remarks with energy and enthusiasm, projecting spirited criticism of his GOP primary opponent in the state, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. He slammed her for delivering a speech “like she won…She didn’t win, she LOST.”
“This is not your typical victory speech,” Trump joked, surrounded by allies and his son, Eric Trump, onstage. Allies included Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and businessman and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
“She had a very bad night,” Trump said of Haley.
He also noted that he wasn’t too mad at Haley for her hollow speech, in which she refused to concede the race to the president.
“Who the hell was the imposter who went up on the stage before and like, claimed a victory?” Trump remarked. “…I don’t get too angry, I get even.”
The crowd applauded at this final statement.
Trump also invited Ramaswamy up on stage, where the businessman declared, “VIVEK: What we saw tonight was America First defeating America LAST.”
Trump concluded, “This was a GREAT evening and I want to thank everybody in the audience.”
