Mr. Trump went ahead to expose the Washington saying that they are very good at separating people by age, race, income, place of birth, and geography. Mr. Trump urged the U.S. citizens to stop focusing on what divides the country but instead to focus on what unites the country.
The President-elect addressed a crowd that had gathered at the historic event in the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Trump mentioned the Ohio Gov. John Kasich by name but the crowd was not pleased by that, in fact the crowd booed.
Mr. Trump congratulated the audience saying that the Governor had called him after he won the election; Trump won the state of Ohio by almost 10 points which is very rare. The Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of the many Trump’s GOP primary rivals that refused to support Mr. Trump as the GOP nominee.
