Optimistic Trump after leaving the polling station: “I hear we’re doing very well,” he stated – Melania by his side in dark sunglasses

He blamed Pennsylvania's electoral system - He said his supporters are not violent

Newsroom November 5 07:44

 

At the Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, near his home, Donald Trump voted alongside his wife, Melania, making critical remarks about Pennsylvania’s voting and counting system.

Wearing a red cap with his iconic slogan from his previous campaign, “MAGA” (Make America Great Again), he told reporters, “I was very honored to see that the lines are long, the conservative, Republican lines are very long.”

He added that they returned to Florida “very late last night” after “four incredible rallies” and noted, “I hear we’re doing very well.”

Regarding Pennsylvania’s voting system, he criticized the millions spent on computers that will take days to produce results, suggesting that traditional paper and pen voting could provide outcomes by 10 p.m.

He argued that focusing on the economy as the main issue is misguided when the key issues are “the borders and illegal immigration.”

When asked about potential violence among his supporters, he stated, “I don’t need to say anything about violence. They are not violent people.”

“We have a great country, but we also have a country with problems. It’s facing serious issues in many ways, and we need to fix it,” Trump emphasized during his remarks as the Republican candidate.

“I feel very confident, and it seems that Republicans are strongly supporting our cause,” Trump added.

He acknowledged that the result may not be known by evening but should become clearer after 10 p.m.

He expressed frustration over the situation in Pennsylvania, where vote counting might take up to three days.

Trump mentioned that he would monitor the results from his Mar-a-Lago home.

“Of course, there won’t be any violence. My supporters are not violent,” he concluded, with memories still fresh of the 2021 Capitol incident.
