Trump’s Thanksgiving message: We must ‘heal our divisions’

President-elect Donald Trump said he hoped Americans would come together to “heal our divisions” in a video address Wednesday ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

“It is my prayer, that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by a shared purpose and very, very common resolve,” Trump said.

“We have just finished a long and bruising political campaign.  Emotions are raw and tensions just don’t heal overnight,” he continued.

“It doesn’t go quickly, unfortunately, but we have before us the chance now to make history together to bring real change to Washington, real safety to our cities, and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. So important to me, and so important to our country.  But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation.

“This historic political campaign is now over,” he added. “Now begins a great national campaign to rebuild our country and to restore the full promise of America for all of our people.”
