​

In the past hour, Donald Trump has declared victory in the US presidential election, delivering a wide-ranging speech to supporters at his watch party in Florida.

​

In case you missed it, here's what he said:

• Trump thanked voters: "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president"
• He said he'd won the popular vote: Votes are still being tallied, but Trump does look set to win a majority of votes at this election. "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," he said
• JD Vance "turned out to be a good choice": Trump praised his running mate, who himself said Trump had just pulled off "the greatest political comeback in American history" during the speech
• Elon musk is a "star": A section of Trump's speech was dedicated to the tech billionaire, who Trump said was "an amazing guy"
• RFK Jr will "make America healthy again": Trump appeared to suggest Robert F Kennedy Jr - the former independent presidential candidate, who has a history of supporting unfounded conspiracy theories about vaccines - will have a role relating to healthcare in his administration. Kennedy withdrew from the race in August to endorse Trump.

Never thought I'd live to see the USA become a dictatorship. The man is a twice impeached, lying psychopath rapist with 34 felony charges.
That is simple fact.
