Speaking to a Newsmax reporter who was reporting on his New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago on the night of December 31, President-elect Donald Trump shared his New Year’s resolution for 2025. Doing so, he took the opportunity to make a sweet remark about what he hopes for the upcoming year to be like, something for which he was praised online.
The Newsmax reporter asked President-elect Trump, “Have you got any New Year’s resolutions for 2025? Responding, Trump didn’t comment on himself or his administration. Instead, he shared a sweet sentiment about people generally, saying, “I just want everybody to be happy, healthy, and well.” That came after he told the reporter, We’re doing a real job with great people. Many are here tonight. But you’re going to be very happy.”
Praising him for those remarks, Carl Benjamin, host of the Lotus Eaters podcast and a noted English conservative figure, posted, “It’s nice to see Trump come across in a grandfatherly way here.” A commenter on Benjamin’s post said, “He’s won, he knows he’s won. he knows everyone else knows he won.”
The same reporter told Trumo, “NY Post reports that Biden regrets dropping out, he thinks he could have beaten you. What do you say?” He told her, “Well, he was way behind, he would have I assume not had a chance. He was way behind her. And we won in record numbers, as you know, every swing state. We won the popular vote by millions and millions of people. Hey look, I wicsh him well. He had a chance to do it in the debate. And that didn’t work out too well for him. That was I guess the reason that really led to his downfall.”
Melania, speaking around the same time, said, “We all know what we want, world peace.” Trump also said, commenting on the year generally, “Just a great year, I think we’re gonna do fantastically well as a country. We’re gonna bring it back. It has to be brought back. People are not respecting our country very much and they’re gonna respect us a lot.”
He added, “I think a lot of progress has been made over the last five weeks. It’s been pretty amazing when you look at what’s happened.” He further said, commenting on the world supposedly being invigorated and happy because he won, “There’s a light over the whole world, not just our country. There’s a lot of very happy people.”
Then, when asked what his highlight from 2024 was other than the obvious highlight of winning the election, he said, “The fact that we’re gonna have a great nation again.” He further added, on that same point about restoring America and making it great again, “We’re gonna bring it back better than it ever was.”
