JUPITER (CBSMiami) – Donald Trump raised the stakes at his election night victory news conference in Palm Beach County Tuesday night.
On display, for all to see, was a table of Trump Steaks along with Trump Water, Trump Wine and copies of Trump Magazine. He wanted to remind everyone that he's a winner in business and politics.
He appeared before a crowd at his golf club in Jupiter minutes before being projected a winner in Michigan, the biggest prize on Super Tuesday 2.0.
"There's only one person who did well tonight folks – Donald Trump, I will tell you," he told the crowd.
The win, he said, is due to voters unhappy with Washington politics as usual.
"I think it's actually the single biggest story is all the people who turned out at the ballot," he added.
Trump predicted his next big win would come in Florida next week.
"When you have property in a state, it means you love the state," he said. "So I will do great there and in Ohio."
In true Trump style, his election night news conference featured a display of Trump products and jabs at Mitt Romney, who last week said many of Trump's businesses were failures.
"He said the water company is gone. I didn't know that," Trump said. "Trump Steaks. Where are the steaks? I'll sell you one for 50 bucks. No, I'm only kidding."
Trump wasn't selling the steaks, but he is selling himself as a winner in this Republican primary.
And after Tuesday, it's hard to argue that he's wrong.
