"We defeated ISIS in record time, but we had no wars. [...] We’re going to stop wars,” he pledged.
Reaffirming a commitment from his first term, he promised to lead with the principle of "promises made, promises kept." Trump also appealed for unity:
“It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It’s time to unite.”
“We’re going to start by putting America first. We need to put our country first for a period of time,” he added.
