The following is a summary of the gratitude expressed in the first half of Trump's speech (the original content has been rearranged for easier reading):
In the first half of the victory speech, Trump thanked his family. In the speech, the Vice President first expressed gratitude to President Trump: "Thank you, President Trump, for your trust; this is not only a recognition of me personally but also marks the greatest political comeback in American history." He further stated that under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to strive for the American people, for the dreams of every family, and for the future of children. He also looked forward to America's economic revival, calling it one of the greatest economic revivals in history.
President Trump also expressed high praise for the Vice President in his speech: "Vice President Vance has proven to be a very good choice, even though some initially questioned him, I have always believed in his intelligence." He emphasized that in the future, he will work to make America the greatest country in the world, and although we may have lost the 'special' quality currently, he firmly believes that America will regain that trait.
Trump also specifically mentioned Elon Musk's significant role in the election: "Musk is an emerging star who did a lot of campaigning during the election period." He highly praised Musk’s technological achievements, particularly the successful launch and safe recovery of a rocket two weeks ago. "Watching the rocket gently land was like cradling a baby. I told him, 'Only you can do this.'"
Additionally, Trump recalled the disaster brought by Hurricane Halleen, particularly the extreme flooding in North Carolina. In the event of communication breakdowns, Musk's Starlink satellites played a crucial role in restoring emergency communications. Trump emphasized that without Starlink, many lives would be at risk and called Musk a 'super genius,' asserting that America must protect such talents because they are rare.
Trump also mentioned several sports figures in his speech, including U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, praising Bryson's career and outstanding performance. In addition, UFC founder Dana White received special thanks from Trump: "Dana White is a tenacious person who not only founded the UFC but also made the sport globally successful with my help." Trump praised Dana White for his tremendous motivation, always inspiring athletes to give their all, and expressed respect for his family.
Finally, Trump also specifically thanked the well-known podcast host Joe Rogan for his support of Trump, Musk, and the Republican campaign team in this election.
Note from BlockBeats: American self-media, represented by the Joe Rogan Experience, played a crucial role in this election, becoming the main channel for Trump and pro-Republican individuals to promote their messages; at the same time, Joe Rogan's immense influence with his podcast has formed a counterbalance against mainstream American television media such as NBC and CNN, as well as mainstream print media such as WSJ and NYT. The large number of key Trump votes influenced by various media is referred to as the 'Bro Vote.'

The following are the key points of Trump's speech (the original content has been rearranged for easier reading):
This election not only has profound historical significance but also marks a brand new beginning. We are fortunate to witness the joining of many outstanding individuals, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who will work with us to restore the health of America. His arrival is full of energy, and he is determined to make changes for the country; we will fully support him in realizing his aspirations as long as he does not interfere with our oil production.
We possess the world’s richest 'liquid gold'—oil and gas, resources that far exceed those of Saudi Arabia and Russia. Our energy reserves will bring unprecedented opportunities for the nation, propelling America towards a more prosperous future. At the same time, we will work to reduce debt and cut taxes to ensure that America occupies an unrivaled position in the global economy.
This election also represents the birth of a historic alliance; we have created the largest, broadest, and most united coalition, transcending differences in age, gender, race, and geography, uniting the strength of countless Americans. Whether union members, non-union members, African Americans, Latinos, Asians, Arabs, or Muslims, all groups have found their place in this great movement. This is a historic adjustment that unites citizens from various backgrounds around a common core of common sense.
Our core philosophy is simple and clear: we support strong border policies that ensure national security and safeguard the safety and well-being of everyone; we wish to have quality education and a strong military, ideally, we do not need to use them; we have gone four years without waging war, only defeating enemies in record time. Our goal is to end wars, not start them. This is not only a victory for democracy and freedom but also an important step towards America’s glorious future.
Looking back at the campaign journey, behind 900 rallies is the unwavering hope and steadfast belief of countless people for the future. Each rally has brought us closer to today’s achievement, and now, we are moving towards even more important tasks. These rallies have paved the way for us to get to today, and in the future, we will truly make changes for the nation. We have the responsibility to make America stronger, wealthier, and safer than ever before.
As I promised during my first term, we will fulfill all our commitments. There is nothing that can stop us from achieving our goals; we will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful, and free again. I call on every citizen to join us in supporting this great cause. It is time to put aside the differences of the past four years, unite, and move towards a better future together.
Success will be our unifying power; as we become more successful, the country will become more cohesive. We will start by putting America first, repairing every aspect of our nation to ensure it creates a greater future for every American. Finally, I want to say that it is a tremendous honor. I will do my best not to disappoint you. America’s future will be greater, safer, more prosperous, and more powerful than ever before. I thank you for your support, may God bless you, and may God bless America. Thank you very much.
