Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump declared victory on Tuesday night after crushing his rivals in the New Hampshire primary.

"We are going to make America great again!" Trump said to begin his speech.

The Republican candidate thanked his family, campaign staff, and GOP rivals and the people of New Hampshire.

"I love the people. And I said I actually think that they like me a lot," Trump said.

"I have so many friends up here and they are special, special people," he added. "So New Hampshire: I want to thank you. We love you. We're going to be back a lot. We're not going to forget you."

After that introduction, Trump returned to a number of lines that closely resembled the stump speech he sometimes gives multiple times a day.

"We're going to beat China, Japan. We're going to beat Mexico with trade," he said. "We're going to beat all of these countries that are taking so much of our money away from us on a daily basis. It's not going to happen anymore."

"We have political hacks negotiating our deals for billions and billions and billions of dollars," he added. "Not going to happen anymore."

Trump hit several of his favorite topics, including what he called the phony unemployment rate touted by the US government, undermining Common Core, repealing Obamacare, protecting veterans, making the military strong, and halting illegal immigration.

"We're going to build a wall," he said. "It's going to be built. It's not even — believe it or not — it's not even a difficult thing to do."

In another classic Trump line, the real-estate mogul said: "I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. Remember that."
