President-Elect Donald Trump:

“Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American Dream. I’ve spent my entire life in business looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what I want to do for our country. Tremendous potential. I’ve gotten to know our country so well, tremendous potential. It’s going to be a beautiful thing. Every single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.”

Barron Trump, the only child of Donald and Melania Trump, likely will be the first young male child to live in the White House since 1963. John Kennedy Jr. was the last, a toddler who departed with his mother and older sister upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The 10-year-old Barron has two adult brothers and two adult sisters from Trump's previous two marriages.

“We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time, we will get along with all other nations willing to get along with us. We will be. We’ll have great relationships, we expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great, nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best.”

President-Elect Donald Trump:

“I want to tell the world community that while we will always put America’s interest first, we will deal fairly with everyone—with everyone. All people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility. Partnership, not conflict.”
