“The people have said it loud and clear: America wants President Trump back in the White House. “It's an amazing accomplishment and an incredible comeback story.”

“Think about everything President Trump had to go through to get back here. All the powerful forces that tried to bring him down, the mainstream media, partisan prosecutors, assassins. What the man went through is just insane. And the president alone could have overcome all these obstacles and all these attacks and still come out victorious.

At the end of the day, White said, Trump is the “winner.”

UFC star Colby Covington says he lost because he was 'campaigning for Trump.'
