Sejrende Trump siger det samme som Nixon
jeg vil bringe os alle sammen – nixon 1968
Mon ikke Trump hentede inspirationen til sin sejrstale hos USA’s skrækkeligste præsident Richard Milhous Nixon?
Jeg har sat nutidige navne ind i BBC’s nyheds-telegram fra Richard Nixons sejrstale den 6 november 1968.
BBC kunne godt have genbrugt telegrammet ved Trumps sejrstale i går.
At a news conference this afternoon, Mr Trump (Nixon), surrounded by his family, appeared in a packed ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
He praised his opponent’s “gallant and courageous” fight and pledged to “bring us together” in a united country.
The president-elect did not dwell on the closeness of the race.
He told reporters he had received a “gracious” message of congratulations from Ms. Clinton (mr. Humphrey) and had spoken to her (him) on the phone.
He had also been congratulated by President Obama (Johnson) and the two men had pledged to work together for a smooth transition of power.
