Trump Hits a Gracious Note, Calls for Healing 'Wounds of Division'
Mr. Trump started off on a gracious note, saying of Mrs. Clinton, "We owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country." He called for the country to unite and heal the "wounds of division."
Echoing a line often used by Mrs. Clinton on the campaign trail, Mr. Trump said, "I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me."
Mr. Trump, who has in the past threatened to punish his critics, said he was seeking to appeal even to those who hadn't supported him.
"For those of you who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country," he said."
