Donald Trump is currently seeking a second term as president in the elections today. In his final campaign event in Michigan, Trump praised his eldest daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump.

Trump held his final campaign rally last night before Election Day in Michigan alongside his adult children Tiffany Trump, Ivanka Trump with her husband Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr. with his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Eric Trump with his wife, Lara Trump. Trump appeared to be emotional as he told his supporters not to make him cry with their chants of “We love you.”

“Don’t make me cry, don’t make me cry,” said Trump. “If I started to cry, they’d have a big story. They’d say the president broke down and cried, and I don’t know if that’s good for us… Maybe it brings me up four or five points, but I don’t care.”

Trump told his supporters that he may win in a landslide victory against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Biden has led in many public opinion polls in many battleground states. Trump continued to tell the crowd that despite the results, he appreciates them, but then joked that he will never speak to them again should he lose to Biden in the elections.

Ivanka previously praised her father during a campaign event in Wisconsin. Ms. Trump heaped praise on her father, telling supporters of how hard he has worked and that Washington has not changed him but the reverse.

Today, Trump visited his campaign’s headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, where he was surrounded by his aides both in the campaign and in the White House. When pressed whether he has prepared two speeches depending on the results of the election, Trump responded that he has yet to think of a speech just yet and that hopefully, he will only have to deliver one of the two speeches.

“And you know, winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me, it’s not,” said Trump.

Trump has long evaded the question of whether he will commit to a peaceful transfer of power should Biden defeat him in the elections.
