How the prominent Indian-American congratulated Trump
Vivek Ramaswamy
Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy celebrated Trump’s triumph, explaining that while many in the media misjudged the 45th President, his resilience and self-belief were key to his comeback.
“Trump isn’t an ideologue or a policy wonk,” Ramaswamy said. “He’s an American badass. They tried to disqualify him, imprison him, and even kill him twice—none of it worked. They underestimated him, and by extension, they underestimated the American people.”

“He’s just like our nation in that way. We’ve always believed it was our manifest destiny to be exceptional, to be the greatest nation on Earth, to show the world what’s possible for humanity to achieve, even when other countries doubted us,” Ramaswamy said.
“Trump’s comeback is the American comeback,” Ramaswamy declared. “Our nation deserves a badass Commander-in-Chief right now—and that’s exactly what we got.”
