"'It wasn't Donald Trump that divided this country, this country has been divided for a long time!' Stated today by Reverend Franklin Graham," Trump tweeted this morning quoting American Christian evangelist and missionary.
Trump said in another tweet that he was getting ready to leave for Washington, where he will take Oath of Office tomorrow as the 45th President of the US, after registering a stunning victory against his democratic rival Hillary Clinton in one of the lost unprecedented elections in US history.
Graham, appearing on a show on Fox News, said Trump has not divided the country and reaffirmed his stance that God played a role in getting Trump elected.
"It wasn't Donald Trump that divided this country," he said.
