Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has extended her congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his re-election, saying it affirms the progress, stability, and policies that he championed in his first Presidential term.
"President Trump’s truly remarkable victory speaks to his inspiring resilience and commitment to the American people. He has survived assassination attempts, political persecution through the weaponization of the justice and financial systems and years of personal attacks, but he never wavered in his love for the United States of America," Persad-Bissessar said.
In a hint to her own bid for own re-election she said, "It is widely held that leaders who return to service carry not only the experience of their past term but also a renewed commitment to their country’s future with fresh energy and clear purpose."
She said President Trump’s victory is the coalition of interests that came together, united by his vision to restore conservative American values and ideals, which have been under attack by promoters of extreme far left ideology.
"Various groups united across America with a shared resolve to strengthen their economy, enhance public safety, protect religious freedoms, defend free speech and reject the woke liberal agenda," she added.
