President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that his inaugural address would focus on unity and revealed his message to Americans who did not support him on Election Day. Trump said he would “treat every bit as well” as he has treated his supporters, regardless of whether they voted for him or not.
“I’m going to treat them just the same as I treat MAGA. We’ll treat everybody good. We want success for our country, we want safety for our country,” Trump said.
Trump also emphasized the need to bring down crime and improve the country’s reputation. “I want to treat everybody the same. I want to treat them well,” he added. “But we have to get the criminals of our country. We have to bring down crime. People have to be able to walk across the street and buy a loaf a bread without being shot. And that’s going to happen.”
Trump’s inaugural address will focus on a message of unity, and he believes that success brings unity. “It’s going to be a message of unity, and I think success brings unity. And I’ve experienced that. I’ve experienced it in my first term, as I’ve said. We’re going to be talking about unity, and we’re going to be talking about success. Making our country safe. Keeping people that shouldn’t be in our country out, we have to do that.”
Trump also met with MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, some of his biggest critics in the media, following his victory. The meeting was described as “extremely cordial” and Trump appreciated the opportunity for open communication.
