ARE A GOOD NATION.
WHEN EVERY CITIZEN IS FULLY
VESTED IN THE PROMISE OF
CITIZENSHIP AND SHARES IN THE

WE KNOW THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT
WHEN LIVES ARE DESTROYED BY
ADDICTION, WHEN OUR JUSTICE
SYSTEM FAVOR SOME PUNISHES
OTHER, WHEN CHILDREN AND WOMEN
ARE TRAFFICKED IN OUR STREETS OR
WHEN PEOPLE ARE DENIGRATED BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE, OR WHOM
THEY LOVE.
WE KNOW THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT
WHEN WE STAND IN THE STREETS AND
SHOUT INSULTS AT EACH OTHER,
WHEN WE ATTACKED THOSE WHO RISK
THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT US, WHEN
WE HARDEN OUR HEARTS TO THOSE WE
CALL THE ENEMY, WHEN WE CAN NO
LONGER FIND COMMON GROUND UPON
WHICH WE CAN BUILD A BETTER
, ETERNALORGIVE US GOD
GOD, HOPE OF ALL WHO CALL OUT TO

HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED TO ACT ON OUR BEHALF.
REMIND US THAT AS WE WIELDED
GREAT POWER, WE ALSO BEAR GREAT
RESPONSIBILITY.
REMIND US THAT EACH OF OUR LIVES
MATTERS, OUR VOICE, OUR EXAMPLE,
OUR VALUES AND OUR SERVICE.
MAY WE EACH BEATIFIC POINT WHERE
THE WORLD SWINGS FROM WHAT IS TO
WHAT IT CAN BE.
YOU BY DIFFERENT NAMES, WE MAY
PRAY IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, WE
MAY COME FROM A MULTITUDE OF
PERSPECTIVES, BUT TONIGHT, WE
SHARE THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY AS

[CHEERING]
>> PLEASE REMAIN STANDING WHILE

PERKINS.
[APPLAUSE]
>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU MAY
BE SEATED. I'M HERE SPEAKING TONIGHT IN MY
PERSONAL CAPACITY, NOT ON BEHALF
OF ANY OF THE NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS THAT I LEAD.
WE HAVE GATHERED HERE IN
CLEVELAND TO SELECT THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT
AND WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT MISSION.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE NOMINEE OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
[CHEERING]
AND I WILL BE VOTING FOR DONALD
TRUMP IN NOVEMBER AND I WILL
URGE MY FELLOW AMERICANS TO DO
THE SAME.
[CHEERING]
ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN WHY.
TONIGHT WE FOCUS ON MAKING
AMERICA ONE AGAIN.
IN THE PLEDGE THAT WE JUST RECITED, WE SAID WE ARE ONE
NATION UNDER GOD.
CONGRESS ADDED THE WORDS UNDER
GOD TO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
IN 1954.
THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THOSE WORDS WERE ADDED AS INSTRUCTED, THE
COLD WAR HAS BEGUN, AS A NATION
WE FACE AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT,
YOU MIGHT REMEMBER CHILDREN
PRACTICE THE ART OF DR. AND
COVER IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY FEARING NUCLEAR ATTACKS.
THE THREAT TO OUR NATION'S
SURVIVAL WAS REAL.
IT WAS JUST AS REAL THAN AS IT
IS TODAY. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT PRESIDENT
EISENHOWER KNEW WHERE TO PLACE
AMERICA'S TRUST AND UPON HEARING
A SERMON BY REVEREND GEORGE
DOCKERY, PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
PROMPTED CONGRESS TO ADOPT THE
WORDS UNDER GOD.
REVEREND DR. JIHAD POINTED TO
THE WORDS OF THE FIRST --
REVEREND DOCKERY POINTED TO THE
WORDS OF THE FIRST GROUP,
LINCOLN SAID UNDER GOD PEOPLE
SHALL KNOW A NEW BIRTH OF
FREEDOM.
A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN.
BUT THE SOURCE OF AMERICA'S HOPE
AND FUTURE HAS NOT.
IT IS FOUND IN THE SAME PLACE
ANDY AS IT WAS IN 1863
1954, UNDER GOD.
[CHEERING]
BUT MY FRIENDS ARE -- FREEDOMS
THAT APPEAL TO UNITE UNDER GOD
HAS BEEN UNDER STUDY ASSAULT.
THIS IS WHY WE MUST STOP THOSE
IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR COURTS
TO HAVE EITHER IN PRINCIPLE OR
PRACTICE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE
THESE TWO WORDS UNDER GOD AND
ALL THAT THEY MEAN FROM PUBLIC
LIFE HERE IN AMERICA.
[APPLAUSE]
NOMINEES TOICIAL
HIS RUNNING MATE, TO THE PARTY
PLATFORM AND THE POLICIES IT
PROMOTES, DONALD TRUMP HAS
COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING AND
PROTECTING THE FIRST FREEDOM AND
THEREFORE OUR ABILITY --
[CHEERING]
ABILITY ASRE OUR
CITIZENS TO UNITE OUR NATION
ONCE AGAIN UNDER GOD.
LET US GO FORTH FROM HERE AND DO
THAT WORK.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
[CHEERING]
>> I THINK WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT DONALD TRUMP IS THAT
HE CARES AND APPRECIATES PEOPLE
MORE THAN HE IS GIVEN CREDIT
FOR. >> I CAN TELL YOU THAT USUALLY
THE FIRST THING OUT OF MY MOUTH
IS THAT I'M PROUD TO WORK FOR
THE TRUMP AMATEUR I'M PROUD TO
WORK FOR THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION.
>> I'VE NEVER SEEN A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A FEMALE AND A MALE
WITHIN OUR COMPANY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, I WOULD SAY THAT
THERE ARE MORE FEMALES THAN
MALES.
ORGANIZATION HAS
MORE MINORITIES AND FEMALE
EXECUTIVES THAN ANY ORGANIZATION
OR FIRM FOR WHICH I'VE EVER WORKED.
>> A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SPOTS
ABILITY. MENTORED ME THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS. ALWAYS EXTREMELY AVAILABLE,
SUPPORTIVE OF ME BUT I HAD MY
DAUGHTER FOUR YEARS AGO.
AND HE ISTOR TO MANY
KIND AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T
NECESSARILY GET OUT THERE AS
MUCH AS IT SHOULD.
HE IS A KIND PERSON WHO LOVES TO
HELP PEOPLE.
I THINK ONE OF MR. TRUMPS
GREATEST TALENTS IS BEING ABLE
TO SEE WITHIN YOU WHAT YOUR
STRENGTHS ARE.
STRENGTH THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE
EVEN ADDRESS WITHIN YOURSELF.
LOT OUT OF HIS
EMPLOYEES AND THAT IS WHY HE IS
SO SUCCESSFUL. HE MAKES YOU WANT TO WORK
HARDER. >> HE DRAWS PEOPLE TO EXCEL.
HE FINDS TALENTED PEOPLE THAT
THEY DON'T KNOW EXISTED
SOMETIMES.
I THINK THAT IS INCREDIBLY
INSPIRED.
HE IS INSPIRING. >> ALWAYS HAD A KNACK FOR
FINDING THE RIGHT TALENT AND
MATCHING THAT PERSON WITH THE RIGHT POSITION AND THAT PERSON
BEING EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.
>> HE EXTRACTS THE MOST FROM
PEOPLE BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO
MEASURE UP TO HIS EXPECTATIONS.
HE SEES THINGS BEYOND WHAT I
THINK THE AVERAGE PERSON DOES.
THINKING BIG, HE HAS AN ABILITY
TO CLEARLY NEGOTIATE, GET DEALS
DONE.
>> HE IS SOMEONE WHO GETS THINGS
DONE AND ATTACKS A CHALLENGE
WHICH, AGAIN, IS SOMETHING A LOT
OF PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM. >> HE'S ALWAYS COMING AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE AND OTHER PROJECT --
UNDER BUDGET ON ALL THE PROJECTS
AND I EXPECT HIM TO DO THE SAME
FOR THIS COUNTRY.
>> THE MAN IS A MACHINE.
HE WAKES UP, LOVES WHAT HE DOES,
HE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT
HE DOES AND HE WORKS HARDER THAN
ANYONE I KNOW.
>> I THINK OF MR. TRUMP IN TERMS
OF VERY DEMANDING, AND SIZE OF
BUT STRATEGIC THINKER, HIGH
EXPECTATIONS, THEY ALWAYS SAY IN
BUSINESS, YOU ARE WHAT YOU
DELIVER, NOT WHAT YOU PROMISE.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE IS
GOING TO DELIVER EVERYTHING THAT
HE SAYS AND THAT IS WHAT HE HAS
AND HE HIS COMPANY'S
WILL CONTINUE TO BE BEER HE WILL
BE EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL AND I
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM.

PACKERS SOMETHING FOR

A GREAT STORY.
THE MOST REVERED COACHING LEGEND
IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE IS VINCENT
LOMBARDI.
A TOUGH AS NAILS
AMERICAN, LOUDLY AND BOISTEROUS
AND HE TOOK THE PACKERS, A
FORLORN TEAM IN THE 50'S AND
THEY WERE BROKEN AND DID NOT WIN
AND HE MADE THEM INTO A WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM YEAR AFTER
YEAR.
BUT AS GREAT AS HE WAS, HE DID
NOT ALWAYS WIN.
THERE IS A VIDEO ON THAT IT'S
BEEN OUT THERE FOR YEARS, IT
TELLS A STORY OF LUMBAR TO --
LOMBARDI. HE IS ON THE SIDELINES.
HE PACES LAMBEAU FIELD SIDELINED
LIKE A CAGED TIGER.
THE PACKERS CANNOT DO ANYTHING
RIGHT THIS DAY.
AND VINCE LOMBARDI WAS GOING
CRAZY.
HE SCREAMS AT HIS PLAYERS
RUNNING OFF THE FIELD AND HE
SAYS, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
OUT HERE?
RIGHT NOW I LOOK AT AMERICA AND
I NEED TO ASK, WHAT THE HELL IS
GOING ON HERE?
[CHEERING]
THE MOST ANEMIC RECOVERY IN
MODERN HISTORY.
AND WASHINGTON IS BROKEN FOR
EVERYBODY.
AT LEAST BROKEN FOR EVERYBODY
WHO DOES NOT MAKE THEIR LIVING
INSIDE THE BELTWAY.
HERE?HE HELL IS GOING ON
WE ARE STUCK IN FRUSTRATION.
MIRED IN ANGER AND FEAR.
AS A QUARTERBACK, FOR 18 YEARS,
MY MISSION WAS SIMPLE, IT WAS TO
MAKE MY TEAMMATES BETTER.
OF COURSE I MADE A FORTUNE
PLAYING FOOTBALL.
IN 1951, MY FIRST YEAR I MADE
$12,500.
JOB. AN OFF-SEASON
I BECAME A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER.
OWNER, IL BUSINESS
FEEL CONNECTED TO THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS IN THIS VITAL
CENTER OF OUR ECONOMY.
LET'S GET TO THE FACTS.
SMALL BUSINESS AMERICA IS THE
HEART AND SOUL OF THE OPPORTUNITY.
THE FACTS ARE THAT 40%, LISTEN
TO THIS, HE PERCENT OF 530,000
START UPS EACH MONTH ARE STARTED
BY AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
HISPANICS OR ASIANS.
ALMOST A THIRD OF SMALL
BUSINESSES IN AMERICA STARTED BY
IMMIGRANTS.
AND NEARLY 40% BY WOMEN.
BUT THE THING IS, SMALL
BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN SURVIVING
NOT BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT
POLICIES, THAT IN SPITE OF THEM.
[CHEERING]
A THESE PAST EIGHT YEARS.
HIGH TAXES, STAGNANT
REGULATIONS, PRACTICALLY NO
ACCESS TO CREDIT. I ASK, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
HERE?
ME, WHAT COULD
HAPPEN IN OUR NATION IF 27
MILLION JOB CREATING ENTERPRISES
WERE SUDDENLY EMPOWERED AND SET
FREE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD TO
GROW AND BUILD AND CONTRIBUTE
EVEN MORE?
I BELIEVE IT ALL COMES DOWN TO
LEADERSHIP.
WHETHER IT IS BEEN SOME PARTY
YEARS AGO ARE THE GREAT NICK
, I CANF ALABAMA TODAY
TELL YOU BY SIMPLE WORDS, WHAT
EVERY GREAT LEADER DOES, A
LEADER GETS STUFF DONE.
[CHEERING]
FOR 48OWN DONALD TRUMP
YEARS AND LIKE THOSE OTHER
LEADERS, I'VE KNOWN FOR SURE
THAT HE GETS STUFF DONE.
[CHEERING]
HE IS A BUILDER.
,E UNDERSTANDS THAT TEAMS WHEN
INDIVIDUALS DO NOT.
HE BUILDS GREAT TEAMS.
DONALD TRUMP IS A PROVEN LEADER.
A TEAM BUILDER.
GETLD TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO
THE BEST OUT OF PEOPLE, HOW TO
BE A TEAMMATE.
I'VE WATCHED HIM OVER THOSE 48
YEARS SUCCEED WILDLY.
I'VE WATCHED AND FAIL BECAUSE
ALL OF US FAIL. I'VE WATCHED HIM GET BACK UP
BECAUSE HE NEVER QUITS.
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT DONALD
TRUMP CAN PROVIDE THE LEADERSHIP
THAT WILL HELP US ALL MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
MAKE IT GREAT.
MAKE IT GREAT FOR EVERYONE.

[CHEERING]
LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT LINES ON
A RESUME, GENDER, RACE, ZIP

UP IN A SMALL TOWN IN
OKLAHOMA.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ALL-AMERICAN
TOWNS WHERE EVERYONE WATCHES
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ON FRIDAY
NIGHT AND NEIGHBORS TAKE CARE OF
NEIGHBORS.
WE UNDERSTOOD POVERTY.
BUT IT WAS NOT A DESTINY THAT
WAS INEVITABLE, WE WERE
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR FUTURE AND
WE KNEW WE COULD SUCCEED WITH
HARD WORK, A GOOD EDUCATION AND
FAITH IN GOD. [CHEERING]
THERE WEREN'T VERY MANY
OPPORTUNITIES ARE YOUNG WOMEN,
BUT WE DID HAVE A RATE ROLE
MODEL, A WOMAN THERE, MY MOM.
MAYOR, MY MOM.
[CHEERING]
SHE TAUGHT ME THAT IF I WORKED
HARD, I COULD BE ANYTHING.
AND I TOOK THAT LESSON TO HEART
AND EVENTUALLY BECAME THE FIRST
FEMALE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF
OKLAHOMA.
[CHEERING]
IN MY COMMUNITY, THERE WAS A
SENSE OF OPTIMISM AND
DETERMINATION THAT OUR COMMUNITY
AND OUR COUNTRY COULD BE BETTER.
FOR EVERYONE.
WHEN THET A TIME

OUR COUNTRY, THERE WAS NO
SHORTAGE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN
LIGHT, BLACK OKLAHOMANS
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER CLAY LOOPER
IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATING
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE AND WINNING THE FIGHT FOR RESPECT
AND OPPORTUNITY.
[CHEERING]
WHEN I LOOK BACK ON MY
CHILDHOOD, MY AMERICA, I DON'T
SEE A PERFECT PLACE, BUT WE WERE
UNITED BY A SIMPLE BELIEF THAT
NO MATTER WHO YOU WERE OR WHERE
YOU CAME FROM, BETTER DAYS WERE
AHEAD FOR AMERICA.
[CHEERING]
TODAY, I'M AFRAID WE ARE LOSING
THAT SENSE OF UNITY AND
OPTIMISM.
TECUMSEH,N TOWNS LIKE
BUT ACROSS THIS LAND.
OUR COUNTRY IS DIVIDED.
OUR PEOPLE ARE AFRAID.
AND OUR SPIRITS ARE NEARLY
BROKEN.
BUT WE CAN'T LOSE THAT
HOPELESSNESS AND HAVE IT BECOME
THE NEW NORMAL.
IN AMERICA, WE WILL NOT.
[CHEERING]
I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
ARE LONGING FOR THE AMERICAN
DREAM WHERE THEY CAN GET A FAIR
SHAKE IN LIFE AND AN OPPORTUNITY
TO SUCCEED.
AGAINT MAKE AMERICA ONE
AND RESTORE THE STRENGTH OF OUR
NATION.
[CHEERING]
AND IT IS NO SECRET, DONALD

COURAGEOUS AND EVEN AN OUTSPOKEN
LEADER.

TRUTH TO POWER.

COUNTRY ON THE RIGHT TRACK, WHO
BELIEVES IN PEACE THROUGH
STRENGTH AND WILL PROTECT AMERICA AGAINST RADICAL ISLAMIC
TERRORISTS WHO STREAK -- SEE TO
DESTROY OUR NATION.
[CHEERING]

COUNTRY GREAT AND WHICH IT WAS
FOUNDED UPON.

AMERICA MUST ADDRESS THE
NATIONAL DEBT, NOT BY INCREASING
TAXES, BUT BY INCREASING
OPPORTUNITIES.

MUST PROTECT OUR BORDERS AND
PROMOTE FAIR TRADE THAT PUTS
AMERICAN WORKERS FIRST.
[CHEERING]
BELIEFARE ONE IN OUR

US SAFE AND FREE.
[CHEERING]
AND WE ARE ONE IN OUR BELIEF

INCLUDING THE LIVES OF UNBORN CHILDREN.
[CHEERING]
AS A PARTY, WE DON'T AGREE 100%
ON EVERYTHING, THAT IS OK.
WE DON'T HAVE TO.
AS RONALD REAGAN ONCE SAID, THE
PERSON WHO AGREES TO DO 80% OF

[CHEERING]
I AM A CHRISTIAN, A WIFE, AND A
MOTHER.
HAVE BEEN IN PRIVATE PRACTICE AS
AN OPTOMETRIST FOR THE PAST 19
YEARS.
I AM A KOREAN AMERICAN.
I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A
SUPPORTER OF THE NEXT PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD J
TRUMP.
[CHEERING]
OVER 40 YEARS AGO, MY PARENTS
LEFT SOUTH KOREA TO COME TO
AMERICA. THEY KNEW THAT AMERICA WAS AN
EXCEPTIONAL AND GENEROUS COUNTRY
WERE IMMIGRANTS COULD BECOME
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
[CHEERING]
PARTICIPATE IN AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY AND LIVE THE AMERICAN
DREAM. [CHEERING]
KNEW AMERICA WAS THE LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY AND FREEDOM WHERE
IMMIGRANTS COULD SUCCEED AND
PROSPER.
SO THEY SWORE AN OATH TO SUPPORT
AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
[CHEERING]
PARENTS ENDURED COUNTLESS
HARDSHIPS AND MADE TREMENDOUS
SACRIFICES TO PURSUE THE DREA
AND THEY NEVER IMAGINED THAT ONE
DAY THEIR DAUGHTER WOULD BE
SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY.
THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF THE
AMERICAN DREAM.
[CHEERING]
TO DO AND BE THE UNIMAGINABLE.
[CHEERING]
HILLARY CLINTON IS A DIRECT
THREAT TO THE AMERICAN DREAM.
[CHEERING]
HER PROPOSALS WOULD BE UTTERLY
DEVASTATING TO OUR ECONOMY.
HER DANGEROUS IDEOLOGY
UNDERMINES OUR DEMOCRACY AND
FREEDOM.
SHE REPRESENTS EVERYTHING THAT
IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.
[CHEERING]
CRONYISMT, CORRUPTION,
AND A TOTAL LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
[CHEERING]
WITH EXTREME CARELESSNESS SHE
HAS COMPROMISED OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY AND OUR SAFETY.
[CHEERING]
WITH CONTEMPT, SHE HAS FLOUTED
THE RULE OF LAW THAT WE RELY ON
FOR JUSTICE AND ORDER AND PEACE.
SHE IS OVERWHELMINGLY LOST THE
TRUST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE OUR
NEXT PRESIDENT.
SHE IS UNFIT TO BE THE
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE BRAVE
MEN AND WOMEN WHO SACRIFICED SO
MUCH TO FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
THERE IS ONLY ONE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE WILL PRESERVE THE
AMERICAN DREAM THAT OUR PARENTS
AND GRANDPARENTS ENVISIONED FOR US.
THERE IS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE WHO
WILL ENSURE A MORE PROSPEROUS
AND SAFE AND SECURE FUTURE FOR
OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
THERE IS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE WHO
WILL DEFEND THE CORE PRINCIPLES
THAT THIS GREAT COUNTRY WAS
FOUNDED UPON.
THERE'S ONLY ONE CANDIDATE WHO
WILL PROTECT, STAND WITH, AND
FIGHT FOR WE, THE AMERICAN

JUST LOOK AT HER TRACK RECORD. SHE USED HER POST AS THE
SECRETARY OF STATE TO GREASE THE
WHEELS FOR DEMOCRAT LOBBYISTS,
SPECIAL INTERESTS AND POLITICAL
INSIDERS CONNECTED TO THE
CORRUPT CLINTON MACHINE.
HER FAMILY FOUNDATION TOOK
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DONATIONS
FROM COUNTRIES NOTORIOUS FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND FINALLY

ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
FOR HILLARY CLINTON, THE OVAL
OFFICE IS JUST ANOTHER CASH COW.

RIGHT MAN TO LEAD THAT CHARGE!
[CHEERING]
YOU ALL KNOW, HE HAS BROUGHT
MILLIONS OF NEW VOTERS TO OUR

AMERICANS WHO ARE ANXIOUS ABOUT
A COUNTRY WHICH HAS LOST ITS WAY.

COMPANIES WHO WANT TO SEND THEM A BROAD ACCOUNTABLE.
GOING TO STOP
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND MAKE
SURE OUR GOVERNMENT PUTS
AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST!
[CHEERING]
FAMILIES ARE THE
LIFEBLOOD OF OUR COUNTRY.

GAS IN THE CAR CAN'T BUY NEW

[CHEERING]
I HAVE A MESSAGE TO AMERICA,
HOLD ON. WITH DONALD TRUMP
AND MIKE PENCE, AMERICA IS READY
FOR A COMEBACK AFTER ALMOST A
DECADE OF LINCOLN-OBAMA VALUES.
-- CLINTON-OBAMA FAILURES.
I WOULD TO A CLOSE BY TELLING
YOU A STORY OF AMERICAN
GREATNESS.
LIAM KNUTSON WAS A DANISH
IMMIGRANT WHO STARTED OUT
WORKING IN A SHIPYARD AND LIVING
IN A BOARDING HOUSE.
HE KNEW AMERICA PROMISED
LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITY AND WAS
DETERMINED TO MAKE THE MOST OF
IT.
HE DEVELOPED HIS TALENTS FOR
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND
WORKED HIS WAY UP AT GENERAL
MOTORS.
BY 1937, HE HAD BECOME THE
PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY.
1940, THE GOVERNMENT ASKED
HIM TO GET AMERICA'S FACTORY --
SECTORS ON A WARTIME FOOTING.
AND SO CARS AND TRUCKS COME
AMERICA'S GREAT MANUFACTURERS
WERE PROBABLY MAKING TANKS AND
PLANES.
FOR THIS AND MORE OF US
RESPONSIBLY -- ENORMOUS
RESPONSIBLY, HE MADE ONE DOLLAR
PER YEAR.
HE DID NOT DO IT FOR THE MONEY,
HE WAS MOTIVATED BY A DUTY TO
KEEP AMERICA FREE FROM TYRANNY.
HE SET ASIDE THE JOB OF LEADING
ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPANIES IN
AMERICA SO HE COULD HELP SAVE
THE WORLD.
AT THE END OF THE WAR, THE WAR
DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL TOLD HIM YOU
HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR
YOURSELF, ONLY FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
YOU HAVE NEVER SPARED YOURSELF.
LIKE WILLIAM GIBSON, WE CANNOT
SPARE OURSELVES EITHER, ECONOMIC
FREEDOM BELIEVES IN THE AMERICAN DREAM, A STRONG DEFENSE, PUTTING
COUNTRY FIRST, THOSE VALUES ARE
UNDER ASSAULT FROM HILLARY
CLINTON AND THE REST OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS IS NOT JUST A TAGLINE
FOR A BUMPER STICKER, IT IS OUR
AMERICAN LEGACY AND OUR RESPONSE
ABILITY TO SAVE IT AND
STRENGTHEN IT FOR OUR CHILDREN
AND GRANDCHILDREN.
GOD DID NOT PUT US HERE BY
ACCIDENT.
THIS IS OUR MOMENT.
TO SET A NEW COURSE FOR IN
AMERICA AS STRONG AND CONFIDENT
AS WE HAVE EVER BEEN.
LET'S STAND UNITED AS
REPUBLICANS.
LET'S STOP HILLARY CLINTON.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
EXPAND THE AMERICAN --
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY. LET'S ELECT DONALD TRUMP
RESIDENT. [CHEERING]

THE COMMODORE HOTEL IN THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY, AT 42ND STREET
NEXT TO GRAND CENTRAL STATION,
HE KNEW THE RUNDOWN PROPERTY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A CROWN
JEWEL.
THE TURNING POINT CAME WHEN MY
FATHER DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE GREATEST SINGLE PIECE OF REAL
ESTATE IN HER CITY.
WORKING FROM HIS APARTMENT EVERY
DAY, HE WOULD PASS AN 11 STORY
BUILDING AT THE CORNER OF 57
STREET AND -- IT WOULD TO BECOME
THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING.
THE $209 58UNVEILED
STORY APARTMENT RETAIL TOPICS.
IT WAS THE CORNERSTONE OF MY
PLAN.R'S GLOBAL AND --
TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL AND
TOWER, TRUMP SOHO, MARA LAGO,
THE POST OFFICE, MY FATHER HAS
BOTH AN ACQUIRED PROPERTIES ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
SCOTLAND, DUBAI, CANADA, PENAMA,
BRAZIL.
EVERYTHING MY BROTHER DOES --
FATHER DOES IS FIRST CLASS.
HE LOVES BUILDING THE GREATEST
PROJECTS IN THE WORLD. AND YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO, YOU
APPARENTLY DO IT BETTER.
.T DOES NOT FEEL LIKE WORK
HIS PASSION IS CONTAGIOUS AND IT
MOTIVATES PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
WHEN MY FATHER'S PROUDEST
ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH THEM A
GRANDFATHER LIVED TO WITNESS THE ROOT OF HIS SUCCESS.
HE LIVED TO SEE OUR NAME
TRANSFORMED.
SINCE THEN, NOT A DAY GOES BY
THAT MY FATHER DOES NOT WISH MY
GRANDFATHER WAS HERE TO SEE THE
BRAND RISE TO GLOBAL EXCELLENCE.
DOMINATED THE WORLD OF LUXURY
HOTELS. OMITTING THE WORLD OF GOLF AND
NOW, THE WORLD OF POLITICS. MY GRANDFATHER WAS A PATRIOTIC
AMERICAN.
I KNOW HE WOULD GET A KICK OUT OF SEEING HIS SON EXCEPT THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
NOT PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONGSIDE THEIR
CHILDREN.
BUT MY FATHER HAS BEEN BLESSED
TO NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT TO ALSO
TEACH US WHAT MY GRANDFATHER HAD
TAUGHT HIM.
AND NOW, AS HE TAKES THE
GREATEST UP IN HIS LIFE, ALL
THAT HE HAS WORKED FOR SO HARD
WILL BE IN VERY CAPABLE HANDS
WITH US.
MY FATHER STRUCK A NERVE WITH
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. PEOPLE WHO NEVER CARED ABOUT THE
ELECTION OR VOTED BEFORE,
RUSHING TO HIS RALLIES, SUCCESS
HAS TAUGHT MY FATHER THAT
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
EVEN WHERE OTHERS HAVE FAILED,
HIS VISION CAN PROSPER.
AMERICA HAS BEEN MY FATHER
EVERYTHING COMING KERNEL FAMILY,
SUCCESSFUL COMPANY, AND THE
ABILITY TO EMPLOY THOUSANDS OF
HARD-WORKING PEOPLE EVERY DAY.
FATHER PAYS TOY
KEEP MAKING DEALS COME UP DEALS
ON BEHALF OF THIS COUNTRY.
AROUND THE CLOCK.
IT IS TIME FOR MY FATHER TO USE
ALL THAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT HIM TO
BRING OUR COUNTRY ACT -- BACK.
[CHEERING]
>> PLEASE WELCOME THE FOUNDER
AND EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF COLONY
BARACK. TOM
TOM: THIS IS A WOW.
I FEEL LIKE THE ANCHOVY ON IVNAK
A'S CESAR SALAD.
I KNOW YOU'RE SALIVATING.
BEFORE I START, I HAVE TO TELL
YOU A FUNNY STORY.
FOR SURE I WAS A LITTLE BIT
NERVOUS.
I HAVE A GREAT UNCLE IN BEIRUT
WHO IS AN UNBELIEVABLE
INTERNATIONAL LAWYER AND ORA
TORTOR.
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP -- ORATOR.
I SAID YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME.
I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.
SO CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.
HE SAID, WHY WOULD THEY HAVE
YOU?
[LAUGHTER]
I SAID THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT I
NEED.
I NEED TO BE PUMPED UP.
I'M NERVOUS.
I NEED SOME CONFIDENCE.
DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
OK.
GIVE ME TWO MINUTES, LET ME
THINK.
I'VE GOT IT.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE A DECEASED AT
AN IRISH WAKE.
I SAID YOU MEAN, I'M THAT GOOD?
HE SAID NO, YOU NEED TO GET
THINGS STARTED BUT NOBODY
EXPECTS YOU TO SAY VERY MUCH.
SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO START.
AND I'M HERE BECAUSE DONALD
TRUMP IS ONE OF MY CLOSEST
FRIENDS FOR 40 YEARS.
AND I'M THE SON OF A VERY HUMBLE
LEBANESE GROCER FROM CULVER
CITY, CALIFORNIA.
WHERE'S CALIFORNIA?
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
YES. AND I'M HERE BECAUSE OF THE
AMAZING MAGIC ELIXER THAT
HAPPENED BETWEEN THE D.N.A. OF A
THOUSAND CIVILIZATION FROM THE
LAVAT AND THE BEAUTY TAPPED
WONDER AND THE OPPORTUNITY OF
AMERICA THAT PUTS ALL OF US HERE
IN THIS RAP CHURE OF THE
AMERICAN DREAM FOR ME TO BE HERE
FRIEND,TO TALK ABOUT MY
MY PARTNER AND THE FUTURE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
DONALD TRUMP.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU'RE GOING TO HATE ME FOR IT
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR
ONE NEGATIVE THING OUT OF MY
MOUTH. I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE THING TO
SAY ABOUT HILLARY.
I HAVE ONLY AMAZING THINGS TO
TELL YOU ABOUT DONALD.
[APPLAUSE] BECAUSE THIS MAN IS GOOD ENOUGH.
HE'S TOUGH ENOUGH.
HE'S SMART ENOUGH AND HE'S WELL
VERSED ENOUGH TO DO IT ON HIS
OWN MERITS.
WE DON'T NEED TO GO ANY PLACE
ELSE.
SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS SPEND A
LITTLE TIME TALKING TO YOU ABOUT
THE MESSENGER, THE MAN.
WITHOUT HIS ARMOR, WITHOUT HIS
WEAPONRY, WALKING DOWN THE
TUNNEL INTO THE ARENA, WHO IS
HE? WHAT IS HE MADE OUT OF?
SO IF WE START AN EASY PLACE TO
FIND HIM IS IN HIS CHILDREN.
AND YOU'VE ALL HAD THE GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HIS KIDS OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND THE LITMUS TEST IS IN THE
CHILDREN. MY MOTHER USED TO SAY, YOU LEARN
HOW TO BE A MAN BY WATCHING YOUR
FATHER.
OU WATCH THIS MAN, YOU GET IT.
THOSE OF US WHO ARE MARRIED OR
HAVE A PARTNER UNDERSTAND THAT
THE BEST REFLECTIONS OF US IS
OUR WIVES.
IN MY CASE FOR SURE, IT'S
ROCHELLE. AND IN DONALD'S CASE IS MELANIA.
AND MELANIA, I WANT TO TELL YOU
ON BEHALF OF THE 10,000 PEOPLE
AND THE 50 MILLION PEOPLE WHO
ARE WATCHING YOU ARE A TIMELESS
TRIBUTE TO BEAUTY, GRACE AND
ELEGANCE UNDER PRESSURE.
OU'RE AMAZING.
YOU'RE AWESOME.
SO I'M GOING TO USE WORDS THAT
YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT
DONALD.
I STARTED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
HIM IN A FUNNY WAY.
I HAD THE FORTUNE OF WORKING FOR
A MAN NAMED BOB BASS IN FORT
WORTH, TEXAS.
IN THE 1980'S WE BOUGHT A HOTEL
COMPANY AND THE HOTEL COMPANY
HAPPENED TO OWN THE HOTEL THAT
WAS RIGHT BEHIND DONALD'S WINDOW
IN HIS OFFICE.
SO YOU KNOW DONALD WELL ENOUGH
BY NOW TO KNOW THAT HE NEEDED
THAT HOTEL.
AND I WAS A YOUNG PUP.
HE WAS A BIG GUY IN NEW YORK.
HE WANTED TO BUY THE HOTEL.
LONG STORY SHORT WE ENDED UP
AVING 30 LAWYERS, 50
ACCOUNTANTS. I'M SCARED TO DEATH BECAUSE MY
BOSS WAS GOING TO FIND OUT THAT
I WAS SELLING TO TRUMP WHO WOULD
END UP GETTING A MUCH BETTER
DEAL.
THIS IS WHAT STARTED MY
FRIENDSHIP.
DID SOMETHING I HAD NEVER SEEN
BEFORE AND THAT I HAVE USED
CONSECUTIVELY AFTER THAT.
HE SAID, LOOK, I WANT TO DO
THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD KNOW.
SO I WILL PAY YOUR BOSS THE
PRICE THAT HE WANTS AND I'LL
CLOSE IT IN ONE WEEK ON ONE
CONDITION.
OU, TOM BARRICK, TELL ME
EVERYTHING THAT I SHOULD KNOW
THAT I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK, I JUST TOLD YOU, I DON'T
KNOW THAT.
NO CONTRACT.
YOU AND I SHAKE HANDS RIGHT
HERE. NO LAWYERS, NO CONTRACT.
YOU JUST TELL ME THE THINGS THAT
I SHOULD KNOW AND HOW TO FIX IT.
AND I'LL DO THIS DEAL.
WAY AYED ME LINE A STEIN
PIANO.
I FIXED EVERYTHING IN THE HOTEL.
A WOMAN, 83 YEARS OLD.
HE HAD ME BUY HER A PIANO, DO
THE CARPET.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING
THINGS I HAD EVER SEEN.
HE WAS INCREDIBLE.
BUT HE PRACTICES AN UNBELIEVABLE
SET OF DISCIPLINES.
SO EVERYBODY SAYS, OK, THE MAN
IS RICH.
HE'S A CELEBRITY.
HE'S POWERFUL.
BUT WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO?
HOW DOES HE DO IT?
AND HE HAS RELENTLESS HABITS,
RELENTLESS BEAUTIFUL HABITS.
HE SHOWS UP ON TIME.
HE BELIEVES THAT PUNKS WALLITY
IS THE COURTESY OF KINGS.
HE DOESN'T CONFUSE EFFORTS WITH
RESULTS.
HE BEFRIENDS THE BEWILDERED.
HE PUSHES EVERYBODY AROUND HIM
INCLUDING YOU THROUGH COMFORT
BARRIERS THAT THEY NEVER THOUGHT
THAT THEY COULD EVER, EVER
SHATTER. AND HE DOES ALL THIS WITH THE
DISCIPLINE OF -- OF AN ANIMAL IN
THE JUNGLE.
HIS MOTTO IS THAT A LION WAKES
UP EVERY MORNING AND KNOWS ONE
THING THAT IT HAS RUN FASTER
THAN THE FASTEST GAZELLE AND A
GAZELLE WAKES UP AND SHE KNOWS
THAT SHE NEEDS TO RUN FASTER
THAN THE FASTEST LION.
WHETHER YOU'RE A GAZELLE OR A
LION, YOU GET THE HELL GOING.
AND THAT IS -- THAT IS DONALD.
BUT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU TWO
LITTLE VIGNETTES THAT REALLY
STUCK IN MY MIND.
IT'S NOT FINANCIAL.
IT'S NOT HOW RICH HE IS.
IT'S NOT HOW A GOOD DEAL GUY HE
IS.
I'M TELLING YOU, AFTER 35 YEARS
BEING WITH A MAN THROUGH THE
VALLEYS AND UP THE MOUNTAINS, HE
REALLY IS BETTER THAN THE
BUILDING YOU SEE, JUST AS AN
ADMINISTRATOR, AS AN EXECUTIVE,
AS A GUY WHO CAN ACTUALLY TAKE
CARE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORK ON
HIM AND BUILD TEAMS.
BUT IT WAS 1989.
I KNOW MANY OF YOU ESPECIALLY
YOU GIRLS WERE NOT ALIVE THEN.
AND IT WAS A TYSON FIGHT.
AND THIS TIME DONALD WAS BIG IN
ATLANTIC CITY. HE CALLED ME UP.
HE SAID LET'S GO TO THE TYSON
FIGHT. I SAID I HAVE ONE OF THE LITTLE
SONS WITH ME.
HE SAID, NO PROBLEM.
I'LL BRING DONNIE IN TYPICAL
TRUMP STYLE WE JUMP ON THE TRUMP
HELICOPTER. WE FLY INTO ATLANTIC CITY AND
IT'S A ZOO.
THOUSANDS OF PAPARAZZI,
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
WHISK TO HIS LIMB OVEMENT GO TO
THE FRONT OF THE CONVENTION
CENTER AND THERE'S 10,000
CAMERAS.
HE SAID LET'S GO TO THE BACK OF
THE CONVENTION CENTER. WE GO TO THE BACK OF THE
CONVENTION CENTER.
WE START WALKING IN AND PEOPLE
ARE HARASSING HIM LIKE MAD.
THE SIDE OF THE DOOR THERE'S A
LITTLE NONDISSCRIPT MAN.
HE SAID MR. TRUMP, MR. TRUMP.
DONALD STOPS.
HE WALKS OVER TO THE DOOR.
HE SAID LOUIE.
HE SAID MR. TRUMP, THANK YOU FOR
WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY EMPLOYEES
AND FOR ME.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT MY
CRITICAL ILL SON THINKS YOU'RE
THE BEST IN WORLD.
MEANWHILE EVERYTHING IS GOING
ON.
AND DONALD IS FOCUSED EYE TO EYE
WITH THIS MAN WHO AT THAT MOMENT
THOUGHT HE WAS THE ONLY STAR IN
DONALD'S UNIVERSE.
HE SAID LOUIE, I'M NOT THE
GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
YOU ARE. WE TAKE THE KIDS.
WE ROLL IN.
IT'S FIVE MINUTES TO THE FIGHT.
I THINK IT WAS TYSON-HOLMES.
ONE OF TYSON'S LONGEST FIGHTS.
WE GET TO THE FLOOR AND HE'S
FIDGETTY.
I'VE GOT THE BOYS. I SAID WHAT'S WRONG?
GIVE ME YOUR PROGRAM.
I GAVE HIM THE PROGRAM.
HE WRITES SOMETHING ON IT.
HE BRINGS ONE OF THE SECURITY
GUARDS OVER AND SENDS IT BACK TO
THE DOORMAN.
I SAID WHAT WAS THAT?
HE SAID I JUST WROTE A NOTE.
>> I SAID WHAT DID THE NOTE SAY.
IT WAS TO HIS SON AND SAID I
CAME HERE TONIGHT TO SEE TWO
CHAMPIONS, MIKE TYSON AND YOUR
DAD.
TRUE STORY.
[APPLAUSE]
NOW, WHAT KIND OF MAN IN THE
MIDDLE OF HIS CELEBRITYSHIP HAS
THE PRESENCE TO FOCUS ON THE
LITTLEST GUY IN THE SHOP?
AND THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.
10 YEARS LATER --
[APPLAUSE]
10 YEARS LATER, ONE OF THE
GREATEST MEN IN DONALD'S LIFE
PASSED AWAY, FRED TRUMP.
AND THE FUNERAL WAS BEING HELD
THE NIGHT BEFORE AT THE FRANK
CAMPBELL FUNERAL HALL, 82ND AND
MADISON.
DONALD SAID, I CAN'T STAND IT.
I'M GOING TO GO OVER EARLY.
WHILE DON'T YOU GO OVER EARLY
WITH ME.
I SAID FINE. WE'RE SITTING AS KIND OF, YOU
KNOW, TWO MIDDLE AGED GUYS THAT
GO THROUGH THAT DEBATE WHEN YOUR
FATHER LEAVES.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
RELEVANCY AND MORTALITY?
RIGHT? THAT LOSS WHERE YOU'RE
QUESTIONING WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND
WHAT'S NOT IMPORTANT AND IT'S
NOT ABOUT MONEY AND IT'S NOT
ABOUT POWER AND IT'S NOT ABOUT
STUFF. AND ALL OF THE AGONY THAT YOU
HAVE WITH YOUR FATHER AT THAT
INSTANT JUST EVAPORATES AND
YOU'RE SITTING THERE WITH
SOMETHING.
SO HE SAT THERE MUSING.
I SAID HOW DO YOU FEEL.
HE SAID, I'M THANKFUL THAT I
HAVE MY MOM'S STRENGTH AND MY
MOM'S SENSITIVITY.
AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS LEAVE
THE LEGACY OF THE TRUMP NAME
THAT THEY BUILT A LITTLE BIT
BETTER THAN I FOUND IT.
HE'S DONE IT.
[APPLAUSE]
SO LOOK.
WE'RE AT A TIPPING POINT.
THE WORLD IS IN MASS JUST
NECKLESS OF GLOBALISM THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT HAS CRUMBLED AND
SHATTER INTO A THOUSAND CHARDS.
IT NEEDS A JEWELER TO TAKE EACH
OF THOSE JEWELS ONE BY ONE
STARTING AMERICA, ITS OWN
DIAMOND AND POLISH IT.
THEN SLOWLY FIND SEAMLESS
STRENGTH AND PEW THEM ALL BACK
TOGETHER. SO WHAT WE LOOK AT IS THE
NECKLACE OF PROSPERITY AND
TOLERANCE AARON THE WORLD.
-- AROUND THE WORLD.
WE'VE BEEN ON AN ADVENTURE AND
PEOPLE SAY, WOW, DONALD TRUMP,
IT'S LIKE A MISHNER TAIL FROM
BUSINESSMAN, TO CELEBRITY, TO
FATHER TO POTENTIALLY PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, AND I SAY
TO YOU, IT IS A TALE.
BUT IT IS A TAIL.
IT'S TO MAKE ONCE UPON A TIME,
ONCE UPON THIS TIME.
THANK YOU.
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> EVERYBODY STAY STANDING FOR A
LITTLE WHILE!
IT'S TIME TO STAND UP
AND BE COUNTED
WE WERE FOUNDED AS A LAND OF THE
FREE

OHIO!
>> HELLO, I'M JOHN VOIGGET.
I WANT -- VOIGHT.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU MY
FRIEND DONALD TRUMP.
HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES. AS YOU KNOW, WHEN HE GETS
ELECTED HE WILL MAKE OUR COUNTRY
GREAT AGAIN.
THE STORY BEGINS IN NEW YORK IN
THE EARLY 1970'S.
THE CITY WAS ON THE VERGE OF
BANKRUPTCY BUT DONALD LOOKED
ACROSS THE RIVER AND SAW NOT A
TROUBLED CITY BUT A CITY THAT
SYMBOLIZED AMERICA'S GREATNESS
AND HE WAS COMMITTED TO MAKING
IT GREAT AGAIN.
DONALD WAS BORN IN QUEENS TO
FRED AND MARYANNE TRUMP.
HIS FATHER WAS A BUILDER AND WAS
THE GREATEST INFLUENCE IN YOUNG
DONALD'S LIFE.
HE LEARNED ABOUT LEADERSHIP
EARLY AT THE NEW YORK MILITARY
ACADEMY.
HE BECAME CAPTAIN OF THE
BASEBALL TEAM AND CAPTAIN OF THE
CADETS.
HE LEARNED THAT BUILDING
BUSINESS AT HIS FATHER'S SIDE
WHILE WORKING ON HIS DEGREE AT
THE WARTON SCHOOL OF FINANCE.
AFTER COLLEGE, DONALD FACED A
DECISION, JOIN HIS FATHER IN
QUEENS OR DREAM BIG AND MAKE IT
IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE
WORLD?
THE DECISION WAS EASY.
DONALD'S FIRST NOTABLE PROJECT
WAS LESS ABOUT RENOVATING A
BUILDING THAN HELPING THE CITY
REDISCOVER ITS SOUL.
THE ONCE GREAT COME DOOR HOTEL
LANGUISHED IN A HOTEL NEXT TO
GRAND CENTRAL STATION.
THE HOTEL WAS SOLD TO THE ONE
DEVELOPER WHO SHOWED HE HAD THE
KIND OF DRIVE, BACKING AND
IMAGINATION THAT WOULD BE
NECESSARY. THEY CHOSE DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD CONVINCED THE BANKS THAT
THEY HAD A MORAL OBLIGATION TO
INVEST IN NEW YORK AND NEGOTIATE
A TAX ABATEMENT WITH THE CITY,
JUMP STARTING A PROJECT AND
CREATING NEW CONSTRUCTION IN
HOTEL JOBS.
DONALD'S STRIKING NEW BUILDING
REVITALIZED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
>> HE SINGLE HANDEDLY CHANGE THE
GRAND CENTRAL MIDTOWN AREA BY
HIMSELF BY DOING THAT PROJECT.
>> BEFORE LONG, MORE TRUMP
BUILDINGS HELPED CHANGE THE
SKYLINE OF NEW YORK.
BUILDING IN NEW YORK WAS NOT
EASY.
BUT DONALD WAS NEVER MORE
FRUSTRATED THAN WATCHING THE
CITY WASTE SIX YEARS AND $13
MILLION TRYING TO REBUILD
CENTRAL PARK'S WALLMAN ICE RINK.
DONALD WAS ASTOUNDED.
IT TOOK HIM ONLY TWO YEARS TO
BUILD THE TOWER.
HE TOOK OVER THE PROJECT.
HE FINISHED IN THREE MONTHS AND
UNDER BUDGET.
HE TOOK OVER ANOTHER PROJECT.
HE TRANSFORMED A LANDFILL INTO A
CHAMPIONSHIP PUBLIC GOLF COURSE
AND SAVED THE CITY MILLIONS.
DONALD WILL TELL YOU HIS SECRET
FOR SUCCESS IS A STRONG TEAM.
>> HE JUST HAS THAT KNACK OF
FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON, THE
QUALIFIED PERSON WHO WILL REALLY
EXCEL IN THAT POSITION.
>> LIKE HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM,
HE TAUGHT HIS CHILDREN THE
BUSINESS AND NOW THEY'RE
IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP
TEAM. >> MR. TRUMP AND THEIR CHILDREN
THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO.
AND THEY'RE INCREDIBLY GOOD AT
IT. THAT BREEDS THE SAME TYPE OF
PASSION FOR ALL THOSE WHO WORK
FOR HIM AND ARE AROUND HIM.
>> FROM DAY ONE, MY FATHER
TRAINED US REALLY WELL, WHETHER
IT WAS IN A BOARD ROOM OR A
JOBSITE, WE SPENT TIME LEARNING
THE BUSINESS AND HE MADE SURE WE
UNDERSTOOD THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR
AND WHAT IT MEANT TO WORK.
>> HE WOULD SEND ME RENDERING
WITH HANDWRITTEN NOTES ON THEM
OF BUILDINGS THAT WERE UNDER
CONSTRUCTION OR ON THE PLANNING
STAGE AND SAY I CAN'T WAIT FOR
YOU TO GROW UP AND HELP ME BUILD
THESE.
>> NOW IT'S FUN TO STAND
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH MY
FATHER. >> OVER THE YEARS, DONALD HAS
CREATED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW
JOBS. MANY OF THEM FOR WOMEN.
>> WHEN I WAS BUILDING MY
BUILDING ON PARK AVENUE AND HE
IS BUILDING THE TRUMP TOWER, HE
HAD THE FIRST FEMALE
CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT ON
THE JOB.
>> WHEN HE MADE ME GENERAL
MANAGER NINE YEARS AGO THERE
WERE ONLY THREE FEMALE GENERAL
MANAGERS OF FIVE-STAR HOTELS IN
THE WHOLE OF NORTH AMERICA.
>> AFTER A LONG CAREER,
ACCOMPLISHING MUCH OF WHAT
OTHERS SAID COULDN'T BE DONE,
DONALD TRUMP HAS SET HIS SIGHTS
ON A NEW REBUILDING PROJECT.
I AM OFFICIALLY RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE OUR
COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN.
>> DONALD HAS SAID, HE ADMIRES
PEOPLE PUT THEMSELVES DIRECTLY
ON THE LINE.
TODAY, HE'S NOT ONLY PUTTING
HIMSELF ON THE LINE BUT UNDER
FIRE.
DONALD COULD HAVE CONTINUED HIS
SUCCESSFUL CAREER AND SPENT MORE
TIME WITH HIS FAMILY, BUT
INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
>> HE DOESN'T NEED TO DO THIS.
BUT WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING OVER
THE LAST EIGHT YEARS HAS BEEN SO
TRAGIC FOR THE COURSE OF OUR
NATION, HE SIMPLY HAD TO DO
THIS.
>> FOR MY FATHER TO STEP AWAY
FROM A COMPANY THAT HE'S DEEPLY
COMMITTED TO IN FAVOR OF RUNNING
FOR ELECTED OFFICE WAS A REAL
SACRIFICE FOR HIM.
>> IT'S DONALD'S NATURE TO HELP
OTHERS. >> A LOT OF TIMES HE COMES
ACROSS A STORY OR MEETS A PERSON
THAT TOUCHES HIM AND HE'LL MAKE
SURE THAT THAT PERSON'S TAKEN
CARE OF PRIVATELY FOR THEIR REST
OF THEIR LIVES.
>> DONALD TRUMP HAS A VERY BIG
HEART. WHEN POLICE OFFICERS OR
FIREFIGHTERS OR EVEN SANITATION
WORKERS, CORRECTION OFFICERS --
I CAN REMEMBER A TEACHER GOT
INJURED OR DIED, HE WOULD STEP
FORWARD AND HE WOULD MAKE AN
ANONYMOUS CONTRIBUTION.
FOR DONALD, IT ALL BEGINS WITH
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES THAT
HIGHER EDUCATION AND MORE JOB
OPPORTUNITIES WILL ENHANCE THE
QUALITY OF AMERICAN LIVING.
>> DONALD IS COMMITTED TO
PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES AND
KEEPING OUR CITIES SAFE.
>> WHAT I SEE OUT OF DONALD
TRUMP, IT STARTS WITH A MESSAGE.
IT STARTS WITH A POSITIVE
MESSAGE WITH RESPECT FOR THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. WE NEED IT FROM OUR
HE IS THE ONE CANDIDATE, THEN
ON POLITICIAN WHO CAN FIX OUR BROKEN ECONOMY AND GET AMERICA
WORKING AGAIN.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS THE GUY, BRAND-NEW, COMES IN AND TAKES UP
WASHINGTON AND CHANGES POLICIES
ON TAXES AND REGISTRATION --
REGULATION. MIDDLE INCOME WAGE EARNERS WILL
GET A WAGE IN 15 YEARS.
>> DONALD WILL STAND UP.
>> DONALD TRUMP UNDERSTANDS
NEGOTIATING.
THAT IS ONE OF HIS GREAT
STRENGTH.
WE HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO THE
CLEANERS IN WORLD TRADE.
WE ARE LOSING JOBS EVERY YEAR,
EVERY DAY AS A RESULT OF BAD
TRADE POLICIES. >> WHEN SOME POLITICIANS SAY OUR
BEST DAYS ARE PAST, DONALD
PROVES OUR BEST DAYS ARE YET TO
COME. >> RONALD REAGAN WAS A TRUE
LEADER FOR AMERICA.
HE COULD TALK ABOUT WHAT A GREAT
COUNTRY IT IS, HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS TO WORK AND THAT GIVES HIM A SENSE OF TEAMWORK AND MAKES
WORKING HOPEFUL.
I THINK WHAT DONALD TRUMP CAN
DO, HE CAN GIVE US HOPE AGAIN,
GIVE US PRIDE IN BEING AMERICAN.
WE AREMAKE US FEEL LIKE
EXCEPTIONALLY LUCKY PEOPLE.
DONALD TRUMP IS A LEADER, NOT A
POLITICIAN.
HE WILL BE HONEST WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE STOP WASTEFUL
GOVERNMENT SPENDING OF OUR TAX
DOLLARS. HE WILL CUT OUR TAXES AND CREATE
JOBS AND WILL REBUILD OUR BROKEN
ECONOMY.
HE BELIEVED THIS COUNTRY, NOT
APOLOGIZE TO THE WORLD FOR OUR
SUCCESS, HE WILL ALWAYS PUT
AMERICA'S BEST INTERESTS FIRST.
WHETHER IT IS A TRADE DEAL WITH
CHINA, OR STANDING UP TO RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
AS HE HAS DONE MANY HAVE BEFORE,
HE WILL STAND UP FOR THE BRAVE
MEN AND WOMEN WHO DEFEND OUR
COUNTRY AND WILL PROTECT US HERE
AT HOME.
HE WILL BRING ABOUT THE CHANGE
THIS COUNTRY SO DESPERATELY
NEEDS AND GET THE JOB DONE.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME TO BE OF A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT.
DONALD TRUMP, IT IS TIME TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE
GIVE A VERY WARM WELCOME TO
IVANKA TRUMP.
[CHEERING]
>> GOOD EVENING.
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU.
ONE YEAR AGO I ENTERED IS MY
FATHER WHEN HE DECLARED HIS
CANDIDACY.
IN HIS OWN WAY ANSWER HIS OWN
SHEER FORCE OF WILL, HE
SACRIFICED GREATLY TO ENTER THE
POLITICAL ARENA AS AN OUTSIDER.
AND HE PREVAILED AGAINST A FIELD
OF 16 VERY TALENTED COMPETITORS.
[CHEERING]
YEAR, DONALD A
TRUMP HAS BEEN THE PEOPLE'S
CHAMPION.
AND TONIGHT, HE IS THE PEOPLE'S
NOMINEE. [CHEERING]
LIKE MANY OF MY FELLOW
MILLENNIALS, I DO NOT CONSIDER
MYSELF CATEGORICALLY REPUBLICAN
OR DEMOCRAT. ONE THAN PARTY, I VOTE BASED
WHAT I BELIEVE IS RIGHT FOR MY
FAMILY AND MY COUNTRY.
SOMETIMES IT IS A TOUGH CHOICE.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE THIS TIME.
A PROUD DAUGHTER OF YOUR
NOMINEE, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU
THAT THIS IS A MOMENT AND DONALD
TRUMP IS THE PERSON TO MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. [CHEERING]
REAL CHANGE, THE KINDLY IN A
DECADES IS ONLY GOING TO COME
FROM OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM AND IT
IS ONLY GOING TO COME FROM A MAN
WHO IS SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE
DOING WHAT OTHERS SAID CANNOT BE
DONE.
MY FATHER IS A FIGHTER.
WHEN THE PRIMARIES GOT TOUGH, AND THEY WERE TOP, HE DID WHAT
ANY GREAT LEADER DOES, HE DUG
DEEPER, WORKED HARDER, GOT
BETTER AND BECAME STRONGER.
[CHEERING]
HIM FIGHT FOR HIS
FAMILY.
I HAVE SEEN HIM FIGHT FOR HIS
EMPLOYEES.
I HAVE SEEN HIM FIGHT FOR HIS
COMPANY AND NOW I AM SEEING HIM
FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
IT IS THE STORY OF HIS LIFE AND
MORE RECENTLY, THE SPIRIT OF HIS
CAMPAIGN.
IT IS ALSO A PRELUDE TO REACHING
THE GOAL THAT UNITES US ALL.
WHEN -- THIS PARTY AND BETTER
STILL THIS COUNTRY KNOWS WHAT IT
IS LIKE TO WIN AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
POSSIBLE TO BE FAMOUS AND NOT
WELL KNOWN, THAT DESCRIBES THE
FATHER WHO RAISED ME.
IN THE SAME OFFICE OF TRUCK TIRE
TRUMP TOWER WHERE WE
WORK TOGETHER, REPLAY AND ON THE
FOR NEXT MY FATHER'S DESK
CONSTRUCTING MINIATURE BUILDINGS
WITH LEGOS WHILE HE DID THE SAME
WITH CONCRETE, STEEL AND GLASS.
MY FATHER TAUGHT MY SIBLINGS AND
IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE
VALUES IN A STRONG ETHICAL
COMPASS. HE SHOWED US HOW TO BE
RESILIENT, HOW TO DEAL WITH
CHALLENGES AND HOW TO STRIVE FOR
EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT WE DO. HE TAUGHT US THAT THERE IS
NOTHING WE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH IF
WE MARRIED VISION AND PASSION
WITH AN ENDURING WORK ETHIC.
[CHEERING]
ONE OF MY FATHER'S GREATEST
TALENTS IS HIS ABILITY TO SEE
POTENTIAL IN PEOPLE BEFORE THEY
SEATED HIMSELF -- THEMSELVES.
HE TAUGHT US THAT POTENTIAL
MANAGERS INTO NOTHING WITHOUT
EFFORT.
AND THAT LIKE HIM, WE EACH HAD A
RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK NOT JUST FOR OURSELVES, BUT FOR THE
BETTERMENT OF THE WORLD AROUND
US. [CHEERING]
OVER THE YEARS, ON TOO MANY
OCCASIONS TO COME, I SAW MY
FATHER CARE STORIES OUT OF THE
NEWSPAPER ABOUT PEOPLE AND HE
HAD NEVER MET WERE FACING
INJUSTICE OR HARDSHIP.
WROTE A NOTE TO HIS ASSISTANT
AND A SIGNATURE PEN AND
REQUESTED THAT THE PERSON BE
FOUND AND INVITED TO COME POWER
TO MEET WITH HIM.
HE WOULD TALK TO THEM AND DRAW A
POUND -- UPON HIS EXTENSIVE
NETWORKING ON THEM A JOB OR GET
A BREAK.
THEY WOULD LEAVE HIS OFFICE AS
PEOPLE SO OFTEN DO AFTER HAVING
BEEN WITH DONALD TRUMP FEELING
THAT LIFE COULD BE GREAT AGAIN.
THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE,
EYEWITNESSES EMPATHY AND
GENEROSITY TOWARDS OTHER,
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING.
IT IS JUST HIS WAY OF BEING IN
YOUR CORNER WHEN YOU ARE DOWN.
FATHER NOT ONLY HAS THE
STRENGTH AND ABILITY NECESSARY
TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT, BUT
ALSO THE KINDNESS AND COMPASSION
THAT WILL ENABLE HIM TO BE THE
LEADER THAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS.
[CHEERING]
MY FATHER HAS A SENSE OF
FAIRNESS THAT TOUCHES EVERY
CONVICTION HE HOLDS.
FOR MOREALONGSIDE HIM
THAN A DECADE NOW AT THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION I HAVE SEEN HOW HE
OPERATES AS A LEADER MAKING
IMPORTANT DECISIONS THAT SHAPE
CAREERS AND CHANGE LIVES.
I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE
WORLD FROM WALKING CONSTRUCTION
JOBS DOWN BY HIS SIDE.
WHEN RUN PROPERLY, CONSTRUCTION SITES ARE TRUE MERITOCRACY.
COMPETENCE IN THE BUILDING TRADE IS EASY TO SPOT AND INCOMPETENCE
IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIDE.
[CHEERING]
THESE SITES ARE ALSO INCREDIBLE
MELTING POTS GATHERING PEOPLE
FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND
UNITING THEM TO WORK TOWARDS A
SINGLE MISSION.
THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MEN OF
ALL BACKGROUNDS AND ETHNICITIES
ON MY FATHER'S JOB SITES AND
LONG BEFORE IT WAS COMMONPLACE
HE ALSO SAW WOMEN.
[CHEERING]
TALENT.R VALUES
HE RECOGNIZES REAL KNOWLEDGE AND
SKILL WHEN HE FINDS IT.
HE IS COLORBLIND AND
GENDER-NEUTRAL.
[CHEERING]
HE HAS THE BEST PERSON FOR THE
JOB. .
WORDS AND PROMISES, THE MATTER
HOW VISIONARY THEY SOUND WILL
ONLY GET YOU SO FAR. IN OUR VISION, YOU ARE NOT A
BUILDER UNLESS YOU HAVE A
BUILDING TO SHOW FOR IT.
OR IN MY FATHER'S CASE, CITY
SKYLINE'S.
[CHEERING]
MOST PEOPLE STRIVE THEIR ENTIRE
LIVES TO ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS
IN A SINGLE INDUSTRY.
MY FATHER HAS SUCCEEDED IN MANY
ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL AND ON A
GLOBAL SCALE.
ONE OF THE REASONS HE STRIVES AS
AN ENTREPRENEUR IS BECAUSE HE
LISTENS TO EVERYONE.
BILLIONAIRE EXECUTIVES DON'T USUALLY ASK THE PEOPLE DOING THE
WORK FOR THEIR OPINIONS OF THE WORK.
MY FATHER IS AN EXCEPTION.
ON EVERY ONE OF HIS PROJECTS YOU
WILL SEE HIM TALKING TO THE
SUPER, THE PAINTER, THE
ELECTRICIAN, HE WILL ASK THEM
FOR THEIR FEEDBACK.
IF THEY THINK SOMETHING SHOULD
BE DONE DIFFERENTLY OR COULD BE
DONE BETTER.
ONE DONALD TRUMP IS IN CHARGE
HIM ALL THAT COUNTS HIS ABILITY,
EFFORT AND EXCELLENCE.
[CHEERING]
THIS HAS LONG BEEN THE
PHILOSOPHY OF THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION.
MY FATHER'S COMPANY, THERE ARE
MORE FEMALE THAN MALE
EXECUTIVES.
WOMEN ARE PAID EQUALLY FOR THE
WORK THAT WE DO AND WHEN A WOMAN
BECOMES A MOTHER SHE IS
SUPPORTED, NOT SHUT OUT.
[CHEERING]
WOMEN REPRESENT 46% OF THE TOTAL
U.S. LABOR FORCE AND 40% OF
AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS HAVE FEMALE
PRIMARY BREADWINNERS.
MADE $.83 FOR
EVERY DOLLAR EARNED BY A MAN.
SINGLE WOMEN WITHOUT CHILDREN
EARNED $.94 WHEREAS MARRIED
MOTHERS MADE ONLY $.77.
AS RESEARCHERS HAVE NOTED,
GENDER IS NO LONGER A FACTOR
CREATING THE GREATEST WAGE
DISCREPANCY, MOTHERHOOD IS.
PRESIDENT, MY FATHER WILL
CHANGE THE LABOR LAWS THAT WERE
PUT IN PLACE AT A TIME WHEN
WOMEN WERE UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE WORKFORCE.
HE WILL FOCUS ON MAKING QUALITY
CHILD CARE AFFORDABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL.
[CHEERING]
AS A MOTHER MYSELF OF THREE
YOUNG CHILDREN, I KNOW HOW HARD
IT IS TO WORK WHILE RAISING A FAMILY.
I ALSO KNOW THAT I'M FAR MORE
FORTUNATE THAN MOST. AMERICAN FAMILIES NEEDED RELIEF.
POLICIES THAT ALLOW WOMEN WITH CHILDREN TO THRIVE SHOULD NOT BE
NOVELTIES, THEY SHOULD BE THE NORM.
TALK ABOUT WAGE
EQUALITY, BUT MY FATHER HAS MADE
IT A PRACTICE AT HIS COMPANY
THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE CAREER.
[CHEERING]
PAY,LL FIGHT FOR EQUAL
EQUAL WORK AND I WILL FIGHT FOR
THIS RIGHT ALONGSIDE OF HIM.
[CHEERING]
>> TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP!
AMERICANS TODAY NEED AN
ECONOMY THAT PERMITS PEOPLE TO
RISE AGAIN.
TURN THERESIDENCY WILL
ECONOMY AROUND AND RESTORE THE
GREAT AMERICAN TRADITION OF
GIVING EACH NEW GENERATION HOPE
FOR BRIGHTER OPPORTUNITIES AND
THOSE OF THE GENERATION THAT
CAME BEFORE.
AND DONALD TRUMP, YOU HAVE A
CANDIDATE WHO KNOWS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WANTING
SOMETHING DONE AND MAKING IT
HAPPEN.
[CHEERING]
WHEN MY FATHER SAYS THAT HE WILL
BUILD A TOWER, KEEP AN EYE ON
THE SKYLINE.
4 X 4, A SOARING STRUCTURE WILL
APPEAR, USUALLY RECORD SETTING
AND ICONIC IN ITS DESIGN.
REAL PEOPLE ARE HIRED TO DO REAL
WORK.
VISION BECOMES REALITY.
FATHER SAID THAT HE WILL
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, HE
WILL DELIVER.
[CHEERING]
WE HAVE A CHANCE THIS YEAR TO
RECLAIM OUR HERITAGE OF THE
COUNTRY THAT CARRIES BIG AND MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPENED.
TRUMP ISLY, DONALD
INCAPABLE OF THINKING SMALL.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, MY FATHER
ALWAYS TOLD ME, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO BE THINKING ANYWAY, YOU MIGHT
AS WELL THINK BIG.
PRESIDENT, MY FATHER WILL
TAKE ON THE BOLD AND WORTHY
FIGHT. HE WILL BE UNAFRAID TO SET LOFTY
GOALS AND HE WILL BE RELENTLESS
IN HIS DETERMINATION TO ACHIEVE
THEM.
TO PEOPLE ALL OVER AMERICA, I
SAID, WHEN YOU HAVE MY FATHER
AND YOUR CORNER, YOU WILL NEVER
AGAIN HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING
LET DOWN. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU ALL THE
TIME, ALL THE WAY, EVERY TIME.
[CHEERING]
MAYBE IT IS THE DEVELOPER AND
HIM, BUT DONALD TRUMP CANNOT
STAND TO SEE EMPTY MAIN STREET
AND BOARDED UP FACTORIES.
HE CAN'T BEAR THE INJUSTICE OF
COLLEGE GRADUATES WHO ARE
CRIPPLED BY STUDENT DEBT AND MOTHERS WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE
COST OF CHILDCARE, REQUIRED TO
RETURN TO WORK.
[CHEERING]
OTHERS SEE THE HARDSHIPS OF THE
UNFAIRNESS AND SAY THEY FEEL FOR
YOU.
ONLY MY FATHER WILL SAY, I WILL
FIGHT FOR YOU.
[CHEERING]
THE HARD-WORKING MEN AND WOMEN
OF THIS COUNTRY IDENTIFY WITH MY
FATHER. HE IS TOUGH AND HIS PERSEVERING.
HIS HONEST AND REAL.
HE IS AN OPTIMIST AND HE IS A
RELENTLESS BELIEVER IN AMERICA
AND ALL OF HER POTENTIAL.
HE LOVES HIS FAMILY AND HE LOVES
HIS COUNTRY WITH HIS HEART AND
HIS SOUL.
TO BE JUDGED BY
THEIR PROMISES, NOT THE RESULTS,
I ASK YOU TO JUDGE MY FATHER BY
HIS RESULTS.
JUDGES BODIES BY THOSE HE HAS
INSTILLED IN HIS CHILDREN.
JUDGES COMPETENCY BY THE POWERS
HE HAS BUILT.
THE COMPANIES HE FOUNDED AND THE
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS HE HAS
CREATED. HE IS THE SINGLE MOST QUALIFIED
PERSON TO SERVE AS CHIEF
EXECUTIVE OF AN TRILLION DOLLAR
ECONOMY.
$18 TRILLION ECONOMY.
MY FATHER WILL CALL UPON THE
BEST AND BRIGHTEST PEOPLE FROM
AND BOTHES OF INDUSTRY
SIDES OF THE AISLE. A NEW SET OF THINKERS TO FACE
OUR COUNTRY'S EXISTING AND FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH FRESH
PERSPECTIVE AND BRAVE, NEW
SOLUTIONS.
COME JANUARY 17, ALL THINGS WILL
BE POSSIBLE AGAIN.
WE CAN HOPE AND DREAM AND THINK
BIG AGAIN.
NO ONE HAS MORE FAITH IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BEEN MY FATHER.
HE WILL BE YOUR GREATEST,
TRUEST, MOST LOYAL CHAMPION.
[CHEERING]
THIS IS THE FIGHTER, THE VIEWER
YOU HAVE CHOSEN AS YOUR NOMINEE
IN WAYS NO ONE EXPECTED.
THIS MOMENT IN THE LIFE OF OUR COUNTRY HAS DEFINED THE MISSION
AND GIVEN IT TO EXTORT A MAN.
HE IS READY TO SEE IT ALL --
EXTRAORDINARY MAN.
READY TO SEE IT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH. SPEAK EVERY MAN AND EVERY WOMAN
OF EVERY BACKGROUND IN EVERY
PART OF THIS COUNTRY.
TO EARN YOUR TRUST AND YOUR
BOAT.
THAT AND MUCH MORE FROM THE A
LONG TIME AGO, I HAVE LOVED AND
RESPECTED HIM MY ENTIRE LIFE AND
I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD
TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU AND TO
ALL OF AMERICA MY FATHER AND OUR
NEXT PRESIDENT, DONALD J TRUMP.
[CHEERING]
>> THANK YOU.
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU MUCH.
FRIENDS, DELEGATES AND FELLOW
AMERICANS: I HUMBLY AND
GRATEFULLY ACCEPT YOUR
NOMINATION FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF
THE UNITED STATES.
[CHEERING]
USA!
THATO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED
WHAT WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY ON
JUNE 16, LAST YEAR, WE AND I SAY
WE BECAUSE WE ARE A TEAM.
[CHEERING]
WOULD HAVE RECEIVED ALMOST 14
MILLION VOTES, THE MOST IN THE
HISTORY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
AND THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
WOULD GET 60% MORE VOTES THAN IT
RECEIVED EIGHT YEARS AGO.
WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT?
[CHEERING]
HAND,MOCRATS ON THE OTHER
RECEIVED 20% FEWER VOTES THAN
THEY GOT FOUR YEARS AGO, NOT SO
GOOD.
[CHEERING]
TOGETHER, WE WILL LEAD OUR PARTY
BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE, AND WE
WILL LEAD OUR COUNTRY
BACK TO SAFETY, PROSPERITY, AND
PEACE.
[CHEERING]
WE WILL BE A COUNTRY OF
GENEROSITY AND WARMTH.
BUT WE WILL ALSO BE A COUNTRY OF
LAW AND ORDER.
[CHEERING]
OUR CONVENTION OCCURS AT A
MOMENT OF CRISIS FOR OUR NATION.
THE ATTACKS ON OUR POLICE, AND
THE TERRORISM IN OUR CITIES,
THREATEN OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE.
ANY POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT
GRASP THIS DANGER IS NOT FIT TO
LEAD OUR COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
AMERICANS WATCHING THIS ADDRESS
TONIGHT HAVE SEEN THE RECENT
IMAGES OF VIOLENCE IN OUR
STREETS AND THE CHAOS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
MANY HAVE WITNESSED THIS
VIOLENCE PERSONALLY, SOME HAVE
EVEN BEEN ITS VICTIMS.
I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR ALL OF YOU:
THE CRIME AND VIOLENCE THAT
TODAY AFFLICTS OUR NATION WILL
SOON, AND I MEAN VERY SOON COME
TO AN END. [CHEERING]
BEGINNING ON JANUARY 20TH 2017,
SAFETY WILL BE RESTORED.
[CHEERING]
THE MOST BASIC DUTY OF
GOVERNMENT IS TO DEFEND THE
LIVES OF ITS CITIZENS. ANY GOVERNMENT THAT FAILS TO DO
SO IS A GOVERNMENT UNWORTHY TO
LEAD.
IT IS FINALLY TIME FOR A
STRAIGHTFORWARD ASSESSMENT OF
THE STATE OF OUR NATION.
[CHEERING]
I WILL PRESENT THE FACTS PLAINLY
AND HONESTLY.
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE SO
POLITICALLY CORRECT ANYMORE.
[CHEERING]
SO IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE
CORPORATE SPIN, THE
CAREFULLY-CRAFTED LIES, AND THE
MEDIA MYTHS, THE DEMOCRATS ARE
HOLDING THEIR CONVENTION NEXT
WEEK.
GO THERE.
BUT HERE, AT OUR CONVENTION,
THERE WILL BE NO LIES.
WE WILL HONOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE WITH THE TRUTH, AND
NOTHING ELSE.
[CHEERING]
>> USA.
USA.
>> THESE ARE THE FACTS:
DECADES OF PROGRESS MADE IN
BRINGING DOWN CRIME ARE NOW
BEING REVERSED BY THIS
ADMINISTRATION'S ROLLBACK OF
CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT. HOMICIDES LAST YEAR INCREASED BY
17% IN AMERICA'S FIFTY LARGEST
CITIES.
THAT'S THE LARGEST INCREASE IN
25 YEARS.
BOO!
IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL,
KILLINGS HAVE RISEN BY 50%.
THEY ARE UP NEARLY 60% IN NEARBY
BALTIMORE.
IN THE PRESIDENT'S HOMETOWN OF
CHICAGO, MORE THAN 2,000 HAVE
BEEN THE VICTIMS OF SHOOTINGS
THIS YEAR ALONE.
4000 HAVE BEEN KILLED
IN THE CHICAGO AREA
SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE.
>> BOO!
>> THE NUMBER OF POLICE OFFICERS
KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY HAS
RISEN BY ALMOST 50% COMPARED TO
THIS POINT LAST YEAR.
NEARLY 180,000 ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS WITH CRIMINAL
RECORDS, ORDERED DEPORTED FROM
OUR COUNTRY, ARE TONIGHT ROAMING
FREE TO THREATEN PEACEFUL
CITIZENS.
THE NUMBER OF NEW ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANT FAMILIES WHO HAVE
CROSSED THE BORDER SO FAR THIS
YEAR ALREADY EXCEEDS THE ENTIRE
TOTAL OF 2015.
THEY ARE BEING RELEASED BY THE
TENS OF THOUSANDS INTO OUR
COMMUNITIES WITH NO REGARD FOR
THE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY OR
RESOURCES.
>> BUILD THE WALL!
>> ONE SUCH BORDER-CROSSER WAS
RELEASED AND MADE HIS WAY TO
NEBRASKA.
THERE, HE ENDED THE LIFE OF AN
INNOCENT YOUNG GIRL NAMED SARAH
ROUTE.
-- ROOT.
SHE WAS 21 YEARS OLD AND WAS
KILLED THE DAY AFTER GRADUATING
FROM COLLEGE WITH A 4.0
GRADE POINT AVERAGE.
THE ONE IN HER CLASS.
HER KILLER WAS THEN RELEASED A
SECOND TIME, AND HE IS NOW A
FUGITIVE FROM THE LAW.
I'VE MET SARAH'S BEAUTIFUL
FAMILY. BUT TO THIS ADMINISTRATION,
THEIR AMAZING DAUGHTER WAS JUST
ONE MORE AMERICAN LIFE THAT
WASN'T WORTH PROTECTING.
NO MORE.
ONE MORE CHILD TO SACRIFICE ON
THE ALTAR OF OPEN BORDERS.
WHAT ABOUT OUR ECONOMY? AGAIN, I
WILL TELL YOU THE PLAIN FACTS
THAT HAVE BEEN EDITED OUT OF
YOUR NIGHTLY NEWS AND YOUR
MORNING NEWSPAPER:
NEARLY FOUR IN 10
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE
LIVING IN POVERTY, WHILE 58% OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN YOUTH ARE NOW
NOT EMPLOYED.
2 MILLION MORE LATINOS ARE IN
POVERTY TODAY THAN WHEN THE
PRESIDENT TOOK HIS OATH OF
OFFICE EIGHT YEARS AGO.
ANOTHER 14 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE
LEFT THE WORKFORCE ENTIRELY.
HOUSEHOLD INCOMES ARE DOWN MORE
THAN $4,000 SINCE THE YEAR 2000.
THAT IS 16 YEARS AGO.
OUR TRADE DEFICIT IN GOODS
REACHED, THINK OF THIS, OUR
IT HUNDREDIT IS
BILLION DOLLARS.
THINK OF THAT.
$800 BILLION LAST YEAR ALONE.
WE WILL FIX THAT.
[CHEERING]
THE BUDGET IS NO BETTER.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS DOUBLED OUR
DOUBLED OUR NATIONAL
DEBT TO MORE THAN $19 TRILLION,
AND GROWING.
YET, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR
IT?
OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES ARE
FALLING APART, OUR AIRPORTS ARE
IN THIRD WORLD CONDITION, AND
43 MILLION AMERICANS ARE ON FOOD
STAMPS.
NOW LET US CONSIDER THE STATE OF
AFFAIRS ABROAD.
NOT ONLY HAVE OUR CITIZENS
ENDURED DOMESTIC DISASTER, BUT
THEY HAVE LIVED THROUGH ONE
INTERNATIONAL HUMILIATION AFTER
ANOTHER.
ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
WE ALL REMEMBER THE IMAGES OF
OUR SAILORS BEING FORCED TO
THEIR KNEES BY THEIR IRANIAN
CAPTORS AT GUNPOINT.
>> BOO!
>> THIS WAS JUST PRIOR TO THE
SIGNING OF THE IRAN DEAL, WHICH
GAVE BACK TO IRAN $150 BILLION
AND GAVE US ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
>> BOO!
>> IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS
ONE OF THE WORST DEALS EVER
NEGOTIATED.
ANOTHER HUMILIATION CAME WHEN
PRESIDENT OBAMA DREW A RED LINE
IN SYRIA AND THE WHOLE WORLD
KNEW IT MEANT ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING.
LIBYA, OUR CONSULATE, THE
SYMBOL OF AMERICAN PRESTIGE
AROUND THE GLOBE WAS BROUGHT
DOWN IN FLAMES.
AMERICA IS FAR LESS SAFE AND
THE WORLD IS FAR LESS STABLE
THAN WHEN OBAMA MADE THE
DECISION TO PUT HILLARY CLINTON
IN CHARGE OF AMERICA'S FOREIGN
POLICY.
>> BOO!
>LOCK HER UP!
LOCK HER UP!
LED TO DEFEAT HER IN
NOVEMBER.
[CHEERING]
I AM CERTAIN IT IS A DECISION HE
TRULY REGRETS.
HER BAD INSTINCTS AND HER BAD
JUDGMENT, SOMETHING POINTED OUT
BY BERNIE SANDERS ARE WHAT
CAUSED THE DISASTERS UNFOLDING
TODAY.
LET'S REVIEW THE RECORD.
IN 2009, PRE-HILLARY, ISIS WAS
NOT EVEN ON THE MAP.
LIBYA WAS STABLE.
EACH OF WAS PEACEFUL.
A BIG PRODUCTION
AND VIOLENCE.
IRAN WAS BEING CHOKED BY
SANCTIONS.
SERIAL WAS SOMEWHAT UNDER
CONTROL.
AFTER FOUR YEARS OF HILLARY
CLINTON, WHAT DO WE HAVE?
ISIS HAS SPREAD ACROSS THE
REGION AND THE ENTIRE WORLD.
LIBYA IS IN RUINS, AND OUR
AMBASSADOR AND HIS STAFF WERE
LEFT HELPLESS TO DIE AT THE
HANDS OF SAVAGE KILLERS.
EGYPT WAS TURNED OVER TO THE
RADICAL MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,
FORCING THE MILITARY TO RETAKE
CONTROL.
IRAQ IS IN CHAOS.
IRAN IS ON THE PATH TO NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.
SYRIA IS ENGULFED IN A CIVIL WAR
AND A REFUGEE CRISIS THAT NOW
THREATENS THE WEST.
AFTER 15 YEARS OF WARS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, AFTER TRILLIONS OF
DOLLARS SPENT AND THOUSANDS OF
LIVES LOST, THE SITUATION IS
WORSE THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN
BEFORE.
THIS IS THE LEGACY OF HILLARY
CLINTON: DEATH, DESTRUCTION AND
TERRORISM AND WEAKNESS.
>> BOO!
>> BUT HILLARY CLINTON'S LEGACY
DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AMERICA'S
LEGACY.
THE PROBLEMS WE FACE NOW,
POVERTY AND VIOLENCE AT HOME,
WAR AND DESTRUCTION ABROAD, WILL
LAST ONLY AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE RELYING ON THE SAME POLITICIANS
WHO CREATED THEM.
A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP IS
REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHANGE IN
OUTCOMES.
[CHEERING]
TONIGHT, I WILL SHARE WITH YOU
FOR ACTION FOR AMERICA.
THE MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN OUR PLAN AND THAT OF OUR
OPPONENTS, IS THAT OUR PLAN WILL
PUT AMERICA FIRST.
[CHEERING]
AMERICANISM, NOT GLOBALISM, WILL
BE OUR CREDO.
[CHEERING]
AS LONG AS WE ARE LED BY
POLITICIANS WHO WILL NOT PUT
AMERICA FIRST, THEN WE CAN BE
ASSURED THAT OTHER NATIONS WILL
NOT TREAT AMERICA WITH RESPECT.
THE RESPECT THAT WE DESERVE.
[CHEERING]
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL COME
ONCE AGAIN.
FIRST[CHEERING]
MY PLAN WILL BEGIN WITH SAFETY
AT HOME WHICH MEANS SAFE
NEIGHBORHOODS, SECURE BORDERS,
AND PROTECTION FROM TERRORISM.
THERE CAN BE NO PROSPERITY
WITHOUT LAW AND ORDER.
[CHEERING]
ON THE ECONOMY, I WILL OUTLINE
REFORMS TO ADD MILLIONS OF NEW
JOBS AND TRILLIONS IN NEW WEALTH
THAT CAN BE USED TO REBUILD
AMERICA.
A NUMBER OF THESE REFORMS THAT I
WILL OUTLINE TONIGHT WILL BE
OPPOSED BY SOME OF OUR NATION'S
MOST POWERFUL SPECIAL INTERESTS.
THAT IS BECAUSE THESE INTERESTS
HAVE RIGGED OUR POLITICAL AND
ECONOMIC SYSTEM FOR THEIR
EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT. BELIEVE ME.
IT IS FURTHER BENEFIT.
FOUR THEIR BENEFIT.
BIG BUSINESS, ELITE MEDIA AND
MAJOR DONORS ARE LINING UP
BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN OF MY
OPPONENT BECAUSE THEY KNOW SHE
WILL KEEP OUR RIGGED SYSTEM IN
PLACE.
THEY ARE THROWING MONEY AT HER
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOTAL CONTROL
OVER EVERY SINGLE THING SHE
DOES. SHE IS THEIR PUPPET, AND THEY
PULL THE STRINGS.
THAT IS WHY HILLARY CLINTON'S
MESSAGE IS THAT THINGS WILL
NEVER CHANGE.
NEVER EVER.
MY MESSAGE IS THAT THINGS HAVE
TO CHANGE AND THEY HAVE TO
CHANGE RIGHT NOW.
[CHEERING]
EVERY DAY I WAKE UP DETERMINED
TO DELIVER A BETTER LIFE FOR THE
PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THIS NATION
THAT HAD BEEN IGNORED, NEGLECTED
AND ABANDONED.
, I HAVE VISITED THE LAID-OFF
FACTORY WORKERS, AND THE
COMMUNITIES CRUSHED BY OUR
HORRIBLE AND UNFAIR TRADE DEALS.
THESE ARE THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND
WOMEN OF OUR COUNTRY, AND THEY
ARE FORGOTTEN, BUT THEY WILL NOT
BE FORGOTTEN LONG.
[CHEERING]
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD
BUT NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE.
I AM YOUR VOICE.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE EMBRACED CRYING MOTHERS
WHO HAVE LOST THEIR CHILDREN
BECAUSE OUR POLITICIANS PUT
THEIR PERSONAL AGENDAS BEFORE
THE NATIONAL GOOD.
I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR
--
>> USA.
USA.
>> HOW GREAT OUR OUR POLICE AND
HOW GREAT IS CLEVELAND?
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU.
I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR
INJUSTICE.
NO TOLERANCE FOR GOVERNMENT
INCOMPETENCE OF WHICH THERE IS
SO MUCH NO SYMPATHY FOR LEADERS
, WHO FEEL THEIR CITIZENS.
WHEN INNOCENT PEOPLE SUFFER,
BECAUSE OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM
LACKS THE WILL, OR THE COURAGE,
OR THE BASIC DECENCY TO ENFORCE
OUR LAWS, OR WORSE STILL, HAS
SOLD OUT TO SOME CORPORATE
LOBBYIST FOR CASH I AM NOT ABLE
, TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
AND I WON'T LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
[CHEERING]
AND WHEN A SECRETARY OF STATE
ILLEGALLY STORES HER EMAILS ON A
PRIVATE SERVER, DELETES 33,000
OF THEM SO THE AUTHORITIES CAN'T
SEE HER CRIME, PUTS OUR COUNTRY
AT RISK, LIES ABOUT IT IN EVERY
DIFFERENT FORM AND FACES NO
NO CONSEQUENCE I KNOW THAT
, CORRUPTION HAS REACHED A LEVEL
LIKE NEVER EVER BEFORE IN OUR
COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
WHEN THE FBI DIRECTOR SAYS THAT
THE SECRETARY OF STATE WAS
"EXTREMELY CARELESS" AND
"NEGLIGENT," IN HANDLING OUR
CLASSIFIED SECRETS, I ALSO KNOW
THAT THESE TERMS ARE MINOR
COMPARED TO WHAT SHE ACTUALLY
DID. THEY WERE JUST USED TO SAVE HER
FROM FACING JUSTICE FOR HER
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE CRIMES.
IN FACT, HER SINGLE GREATEST
ACCOMPLISHMENT MAY BE COMMITTING
SUCH AN EGREGIOUS CRIME AND
GETTING AWAY WITH IT, ESPECIALLY
WHEN OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN FAR
LESS HAVE PAID SO DEARLY.
WHEN THAT SAME SECRETARY OF
STATE RAKES IN MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TRADING ACCESS AND
FAVORS TO SPECIAL INTERESTS AND
FOREIGN POWERS I KNOW THE TIME
FOR ACTION HAS COME.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE JOINED THE POLITICAL
ARENA SO THAT THE POWERFUL CAN
NO LONGER BEAT UP ON PEOPLE THAT
CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES.
[CHEERING]
NOBODY KNOWS THE SYSTEM BETTER
THAN ME, WHICH IS WHY I ALONE
CAN FIX IT.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW THE
SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST OUR
CITIZENS, JUST LIKE IT WAS
RIGGED AGAINST BERNIE SANDERS.
HE NEVER HAD A CHANCE. BUT HIS
--
>> BOO!
>> BUT HIS SUPPORTERS WILL JOIN
OUR MOVEMENT, BECAUSE WE WILL
FIX HIS BIGGEST ISSUE.
TRADE DEALS THAT STRIP OUR
AND THEOF JOBS
DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IN THE COUNTRY.
MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS WILL JOIN
OUR MOVEMENT, BECAUSE WE ARE
GOING TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO IT
WORKS FAIRLY AND JUSTLY FOR EACH
AND EVERY AMERICAN.
[CHEERING]
IN THIS CAUSE, I AM PROUD TO
HAVE AT MY SIDE THE NEXT VICE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE OF INDIANA.
[CHEERING]
AND A GREAT GUIDE.
-- GUY.
WE WILL BRING THE SAME ECONOMIC
SUCCESS TO AMERICA THAT MIKE
BROUGHT INDIANA, WHICH IS
AMAZING.
[CHEERING]
HE IS A MAN OF CHARACTER AND
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
HE IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB.
THE FIRST TASK FOR OUR NEW
ADMINISTRATION WILL BE TO
LIBERATE OUR CITIZENS FROM THE
CRIME AND TERRORISM AND
LAWLESSNESS THAT THREATENS THEIR
-- OUR COMMUNITIES.
AMERICA WAS SHOCKED TO ITS CORE
WHEN OUR POLICE OFFICERS IN
EXECUTEDRE SO BRUTALLY
. A MEDIATELY AFTER DALLAS, WE
HAVE SEEN CONTINUED THREATS AND
VIOLENCE AGAINST OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.
LAW OFFICERS HAVE BEEN SHOT OR
KILLED IN RECENT DAYS IN
GEORGIA, MISSOURI, WISCONSIN,
KANSAS, MICHIGAN AND TENNESSEE.
>> BOO!
>> ON SUNDAY, MORE POLICE WERE
GUNNED DOWN IN BATON ROUGE,
LOUISIANA.
THREE WERE KILLED, AND FOUR WERE
-- THREE WERE VERY BADLY
INJURED.
AN ATTACK ON LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE A MESSAGE TO EVERY LAST
PERSON THREATENING THE PEACE ON
OUR STREETS AND THE SAFETY OF
OUR POLICE: WHEN I TAKE THE OATH
OF OFFICE NEXT YEAR, I WILL
RESTORE LAW AND ORDER TO OUR
COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
I WILL WORK WITH, AND APPOINT,
THE BEST PROSECUTORS AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS IN THE
COUNTRY TO GET THE JOB PROPERLY
DONE. [CHEERING]
IN THIS RACE FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE, I AM THE LAW AND ORDER
CANDIDATE.
[CHEERING]
THE IRRESPONSIBLE RHETORIC OF
OUR PRESIDENT, WHO HAS USED THE
PULPIT OF THE PRESIDENCY TO
DIVIDE US BY RACE AND COLOR, HAS
MADE AMERICA A MORE DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT THAN FRANKLY, I HAVE
EVER SEEN AND ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM HAS EVER WATCHED OR SEEING.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED
AMERICA'S INNER CITIES.
REMEMBER, IT HAS FAILED
AMERICA'S INNER CITIES.
IT'S FAILED THEM ON EDUCATION.
IT'S FAILED THEM ON JOBS. IT'S
FAILED THEM ON CRIME.
IT'S FAILED THEM IN EVERY WAY
AND ON EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. WHEN I AM PRESIDENT, I WILL WORK
TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR KIDS
ARE TREATED EQUALLY, AND
PROTECTED EQUALLY. EVERY ACTION I TAKE, I WILL ASK
MYSELF: DOES THIS MAKE LIFE
BETTER FOR YOUNG AMERICANS IN
BALTIMORE, CHICAGO, DETROIT,
WHO HAVE REALLY
COME IN EVERY WAY, HAVE THE SAME
RIGHT TO LIVE OUT THEIR DREAMS
AS ANY OTHER CHILD IN AMERICA?
[CHEERING]
TO MAKE LIFE SAFE IN AMERICA, WE
MUST ALSO ADDRESS THE GROWING
THREATS FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.
WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THE
BARBARIANS OF ISIS.
AND WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THEM
BAD.
[CHEERING]
ONCE AGAIN, FRANCE IS THE VICTIM
OF BRUTAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN
VICIOUSLY MOWED DOWN.
LIVES RUINED.
FAMILIES RIPPED APART.
A NATION IN MOURNING.
THE DAMAGE AND DEVASTATION THAT
CAN BE INFLICTED BY ISLAMIC
RADICALS HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER
AND OVER.
AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, AT AN
OFFICE PARTY IN SAN BERNARDINO,
AT THE BOSTON MARATHON, AND A
MILITARY RECRUITING CENTER IN
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.
AND MANY OTHER LOCATIONS.
ONLY WEEKS AGO, IN ORLANDO,
FLORIDA, 49 WONDERFUL AMERICANS
WERE SAVAGELY MURDERED BY AN
ISLAMIC TERRORIST.
THIS TIME, THE TERRORIST
TARGETED LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
NO GOOD.
AND WE'RE GOING TO STOP IT.
[CHEERING]
AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I WILL DO
EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO
PROTECT OUR LGBTQ CITIZENS FROM
THE VIOLENCE AND OPPRESSION OF A
HATEFUL FOREIGN IDEOLOGY.
[CHEERING]
BELIEVE ME.
AND I HAVE TO SAY AS A
REPUBLICAN, IT IS SO NICE TO
HEAR YOU CHEERING FOR WHAT I
JUST SAID. THANK YOU.
[CHEERING]
TO PROTECT US FROM TERRORISM, WE
NEED TO FOCUS ON THREE THINGS.
WE MUST HAVE THE BEST
BEST GATHERINGE
OF INTELLIGENCE ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD.
THE BEST.
[CHEERING]
WE MUST ABANDON THE FAILED
POLICY OF NATION- BUILDING AND
REGIME CHANGE THAT HILLARY
CLINTON PUSHED IN IRAQ, LIBYA,
IN EGYPT, AND SYRIA.
INSTEAD, WE MUST WORK WITH ALL
OF OUR ALLIES WHO SHARE OUR GOAL
OF DESTROYING ISIS AND STAMPING
OUT ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND DOING
IT NOW, DOING IT QUICKLY.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN FAST.
[CHEERING]
THIS INCLUDES WORKING WITH OUR
GREATEST ALLY IN THE REGION, THE
STATE OF ISRAEL.
[CHEERING]
RECENTLY I HAVE SAID THAT NATO
WAS OBSOLETE.
BECAUSE IT DID NOT PROPERLY
COVER TERROR.
AND ALSO THAT MANY OF THE MEMBER
COUNTRIES WERE NOT PAYING THEIR
FAIR SHARE.
>> BOO!
STATESSUAL, THE UNITED
HAS BEEN PICKING UP THE COST.
SHORTLY THEREAFTER, IT WAS
ANNOUNCED THAT NATO WILL BE
SETTING UP A NEW PROGRAM IN
ORDER TO COMBAT TERRORISM.
A TRUE STEP IN THE RIGHT
TRACTION.
-- DIRECTION.
[CHEERING]
LASTLY, AND VERY IMPORTANTLY, WE
MUST IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND
IMMIGRATION FROM ANY NATION THAT
HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY
TERRORISM UNTIL SUCH TIME AS
PROVEN VETTING MECHANISMS HAVE
BEEN PUT IN PLACE.
WE DON'T WANT THEM IN OUR
COUNTRY.
[CHEERING]
MY OPPONENT HAS CALLED FOR A
550% INCREASE, THINK OF
THIS, THIS IS NOT BELIEVABLE,
BUT THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING, A
550% INCREASE IN SYRIAN REFUGEES
ON TOP OF EXISTING MASSIVE
REFUGEE FLOWS COMING INTO OUR
COUNTRY ALREADY UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT OBAMA.
>> BOO!
>> SHE PROPOSES THIS DESPITE THE
FACT THAT THERE'S NO WAY TO
SCREEN THESE REFUGEES IN ORDER
TO FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE OR
WHERE THEY COME FROM.
I ONLY WANT TO ADMIT INDIVIDUALS
INTO OUR COUNTRY WHO WILL
SUPPORT OUR VALUES AND LOVE OUR
PEOPLE. [CHEERING]
ANYONE WHO ENDORSES VIOLENCE,
HATRED OR OPPRESSION IS NOT
WELCOME IN OUR COUNTRY AND NEVER
EVER WILL BE.
[CHEERING]
DECADES OF RECORD IMMIGRATION
HAVE PRODUCED LOWER WAGES AND
HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT FOR OUR
CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY FOR
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO
WORKERS.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM THAT WORKS,
BUT ONE THAT WORKS FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[CHEERING]
ON MONDAY, WE HEARD FROM THREE
PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN WERE
KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
MARY ANN MENDOZA, SABINE DURDEN,
AND MY FRIEND JAMIEL SHAW.
THEY ARE JUST THREE BRAVE
REPRESENTATIVES OF MANY
THOUSANDS WHO HAVE SUFFERED SO
GREATLY.
OF ALL MY TRAVELS IN THIS
COUNTRY, NOTHING HAS AFFECTED ME
MORE, NOTHING EVEN CLOSE THAN THE TIME I HAVE SPENT WITH THE
MOTHERS AND FATHERS WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR CHILDREN TO VIOLENCE
SPILLING ACROSS OUR BORDERS,
WHICH WE CAN SOLVE.
WE HAVE TO SOLVE IT.
[CHEERING]
THESE FAMILIES HAVE NO SPECIAL
INTERESTS TO REPRESENT THEM. THERE ARE NO DEMONSTRATORS TO
PROTECT THEM AND NONE TOO
PROTEST ON THEIR BEHALF.
MY OPPONENT WILL NEVER MEET WITH
THEM, OR SHARE IN THEIR PAIN.
BELIEVE ME.
INSTEAD, MY OPPONENT WANTS
THINGS WERE CITIES.
>> BOO!
BUT WHERE WAS SANCTUARY FOR KATE
STEINLE?
WHERE WAS SANCTUARY FOR THE
CHILDREN OF MARY ANN, SABINE AND
JAMIEL?
IS SO SAD TO EVEN BE TALKING
ABOUT THIS. WE CAN SOLVE IT SO QUICKLY.
WHERE WAS SANCTUARY FOR ALL THE
OTHER AMERICANS WHO HAVE BEEN SO
BRUTALLY MURDERED, AND WHO HAVE
SUFFERED SO HORRIBLY?
THESE WOUNDED AMERICAN FAMILIES
HAVE BEEN ALONE.
BUT THEY ARE NOT ALONE ANY
LONGER. [CHEERING]
TONIGHT, THIS CANDIDATE AND THIS
WHOLE NATION STAND IN THEIR CORNER TO SUPPORT THEM, TO SEND
THEM OUR LOVE, AND TO PLEDGE IN
THEIR HONOR THAT WE WILL SAVE
COUNTLESS MORE FAMILIES FROM
SUFFERING THE SAME AWFUL DATE.
[CHEERING]
-- FATE.
[CHEERING]
WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A GREAT
BORDER WALL TO STOP ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION, TO STOP THE GANGS
AND THE VIOLENCE, AND TO STOP
THE DRUGS FROM POURING INTO OUR
COMMUNITIES.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE BEEN HONORED TO RECEIVE
THE ENDORSEMENT OF AMERICA'S
BORDER PATROL AGENTS, AND WILL
WORK DIRECTLY WITH THEM TO
PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR
LAWFUL, LAWFUL, IMMIGRATION
SYSTEM.
BY ENDING CATCH-AND-RELEASE ON
THE BORDER, WE WILL STOP THE
CYCLE OF HUMAN SMUGGLING AND
VIOLENCE.
ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS WILL GO
DOWN.
WE WILL STOP IT.
IT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING VERY
MUCH ANYMORE.
BELIEVE ME.
[CHEERING]
PEACE WILL BE RESTORED BY
ENFORCING THE RULES FOR THE
MILLIONS WHO OVERSTAY THEIR
VISAS, OUR LAWS WILL FINALLY
RECEIVE THE RESPECT THEY
DESERVE.
[CHEERING]
TONIGHT, I WANT EVERY AMERICAN
WHOSE DEMANDS FOR IMMIGRATION
SECURITY HAVE BEEN DENIED AND
EVERY POLITICIAN WHO HAS DENIED
THEM TO LISTEN VERY CLOSELY TO
THE WORDS I AM ABOUT TO SAY. ON
ON JANUARY 20 OF 2017, THE DAY I
,AKE THE OATH OF OFFICE
AMERICANS WILL FINALLY WAKE UP
IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE LAWS OF
THE UNITED STATES ARE ENFORCED.
[CHEERING]
WE ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERATE
AND COMPASSIONATE TO EVERYONE.
BUT MY GREATEST COMPASSION WILL
BE FOR OUR OWN STRUGGLING
CITIZENS.
[CHEERING]
>> USA.
USA.
>> USA.
USA.
MY PLAN IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF
THE RADICAL AND DANGEROUS
IMMIGRATION POLICY OF HILLARY
CLINTON.
AMERICANS WANT RELIEF FROM
UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION.
WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
COMMUNITIES WANT RELIEF.
YET HILLARY CLINTON IS PROPOSING
MASS AMNESTY, MASS IMMIGRATION,
AND MASS LAWLESSNESS.
>> BOO!
>> HER PLAN WILL OVERWHELM YOUR
SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS, FURTHER
REDUCE YOUR JOBS AND WAGES, AND
MAKE IT HARDER FOR RECENT
IMMIGRANTS TO ESCAPE FROM
THE TREMENDOUS CYCLE OF POVERTY
THEY ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW
AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
FOR THEM TO JOIN THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION FOR
OUR WORKERS. IT BEGINS WITH A NEW, FAIR TRADE
POLICY THAT PROTECTS OUR JOBS
AND STANDS UP TO COUNTRIES THAT
CHEAT.
OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY.
IT'S BEEN A SIGNATURE MESSAGE OF
MY CAMPAIGN FROM DAY ONE, AND IT
WILL BE A SIGNATURE FEATURE OF
MY PRESIDENCY FROM THE MOMENT I
TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE MADE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN BUSINESS MAKING DEALS.
NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE OUR
COUNTRY RICH AGAIN.
USING THE GREATEST BUSINESS
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, I'M GOING
TO TURN OUR BAD TRADE AGREEMENTS
INTO GREAT TRADE AGREEMENTS.
AMERICA HAS LOST NEARLY-ONE
THIRD OF ITS MANUFACTURING JOBS
SINCE 1997, FOLLOWING THE
ENACTMENT OF DISASTROUS TRADE
DEALS SUPPORTED
BY BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON.
REMEMBER, IT WAS BILL CLINTON
WHO SIGNED NAFTA, ONE OF THE
WORST ECONOMIC DEALS EVER MADE
BY OUR COUNTRY.
OR FRANKLY, ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
NEVER EVER AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
I AM GOING TO BRING OUR JOBS
BACK OUR JOBS TO OHIO AND
PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK AND
MICHIGAN AND ALL OF AMERICA AND
I AM NOT GOING TO LET COMPANIES
MOVE TO OTHER COUNTRIES, FIRING
THEIR EMPLOYEES ALONG THE WAY,
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANYMORE.
[CHEERING]
MY OPPONENT, ON THE OTHER HAND,
HAS SUPPORTED VIRTUALLY EVERY
TRADE AGREEMENT THAT HAS BEEN
DESTROYING OUR MIDDLE CLASS. SHE
SUPPORTED NAFTA, AND SHE
SUPPORTED CHINA'S ENTRANCE INTO
THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
ANOTHER ONE OF HER HUSBAND'S
COLOSSAL MISTAKES AND DISASTERS.
SHE SUPPORTED THE JOB KILLING
TRADE DEAL WITH SOUTH KOREA. SHE
SUPPORTED THE TRANSPACIFIC
PARTNERSHIP WHICH WILL NOT ONLY
DESTROY OUR MANUFACTURING BUT IT
, WILL MAKE AMERICA SUBJECT
TO THE RULINGS OF FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS.
AND IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
[CHEERING]
I PLEDGE TO NEVER SIGN ANY TRADE
AGREEMENT THAT HURTS OUR
WORKERS, OR THAT DIMINISHES OUR
FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE.
SIGNED BADER EVER
TRADE DEALS.
AMERICA FIRST AGAIN.
AMERICAN FIRST.
INSTEAD, I WILL MAKE INDIVIDUAL
DEALS WITH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES.
NO LONGER WILL WE ENTER INTO
TRANSACTIONS WITH
MANY COUNTRIES THAT ARE
THOUSANDS OF PAGES LONG AND
WHICH NO ONE FROM OUR COUNTRY
EVEN READS OR UNDERSTANDS.
WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE ALL
TRADE VIOLATIONS AGAINST ANY
COUNTRY THAT CHEATS.
[CHEERING]
THIS INCLUDES STOPPING CHINA'S
OUTRAGEOUS THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY, ALONG WITH THEIR
ILLEGAL PRODUCT DUMPING, AND
THEIR DEVASTATING CURRENCY
MANIPULATION.
THAT EVERHE GREATEST
CAME ABOUT, THEY ARE THE
GREATEST CURRENTLY MANIPULATORS
EVER. >> BOO!
OUR HORRIBLE TRADE AGREEMENTS
WITH CHINA AND MANY OTHERS, WILL
BE TOTALLY RENEGOTIATED. THAT
THAT INCLUDES RENEGOTIATING
NAFTA NAFTA TO GET A MUCH BETTER
DEAL FOR AMERICA AND WILL WALK
AWAY IF WE DON'T GET THAT KIND
OF A DEAL.
[CHEERING]
OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO START
BUILDING AND MAKING THINGS
AGAIN. [CHEERING]
NEXT COMES THE REFORM OF OUR TAX
LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ENERGY
RULES.
WHILE HILLARY CLINTON PLANS A
MASSIVE TAX I MEAN
INCREASE, I HAVE PROPOSED THE
LARGEST TAX REDUCTION OF ANY
CANDIDATE WHO HAS RUN FOR
PRESIDENT THIS YEAR, DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN. [CHEERING]
MIDDLE-INCOME AMERICANS WILL
EXPERIENCE
PROFOUND RELIEF, AND TAXES WILL
BE GREATLY SIMPLIFIED FOR EVERYONE.
I MEAN EVERYONE.
[CHEERING]
AMERICA IS ONE OF THE
HIGHEST-TAXED NATIONS IN THE
WORLD.
REDUCING TAXES WILL CAUSE NEW
COMPANIES AND NEW JOBS TO COME
ROARING BACK INTO OUR COUNTRY.
BELIEVE ME. IT WILL HAPPEN AND IT WILL
HAPPEN FAST. [CHEERING]
THEN WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH
THE ISSUE OF REGULATION, ONE OF
THE GREATEST JOB KILLERS OF THEM
ALL. EXCESSIVE REGULATION IS COSTING
OUR COUNTRY AS MUCH AS $2
TRILLION A YEAR, AND WE WILL END
AND IT VERY QUICKLY.
[CHEERING]
WE ARE GOING TO LIFT THE
RESTRICTIONS ON THE
PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN ENERGY.
[CHEERING]
THIS WILL PRODUCE MORE THAN $20
TRILLION IN JOB- CREATING
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT
FOUR DECADES.
MY OPPONENT, ON THE OTHER HAND,
WANTS TO PUT THE GREAT MINERS
AND STEEL WORKERS OF OUR COUNTRY
OUT OF WORK AND OUT OF BUSINESS.
WITHWILL NEVER HAPPEN
DONALD J TRUMP AS PRESIDENT.
OUR STEEL WORKERS AND OUR
STEELWORKERS AND ARE MINERS ARE
GOING BACK TO WORK AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
WITH THESE NEW ECONOMIC
POLICIES, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WILL START FLOWING INTO OUR
COUNTRY.
THIS NEW WEALTH WILL IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL
AMERICANS.
WE WILL BUILD THE ROADS,
HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES, TUNNELS,
AIRPORTS, AND THE RAILWAYS OF
OUR.
-- TOMORROW.
THIS, IN TURN, WILL CREATE
MILLIONS OF MORE JOBS.
WE WILL RESCUE KIDS FROM FAILING
SCHOOLS BY HELPING THEIR PARENTS
SEND THEM TO A SAFE SCHOOL OF
THEIR CHOICE.
[CHEERING]
MY OPPONENT WOULD RATHER PROTECT
EDUCATION BUREAUCRATS THAN SERVE
AMERICAN CHILDREN.
THAT IS WHAT SHE IS DOING AND
THAT IS WHAT SHE HAS DONE.
WE WILL REPEAL AND REPLACE
DISASTROUS OBAMACARE.
[CHEERING]
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR
OWN DOCTOR AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
AND WE WILL FIX TSA AT THE
AIRPORTS, WHICH IS A TOTAL
DISASTER.
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU.
WORK WITH ALL OF
OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE DROWNING IN
DEBT TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE JUST STARTING
OUT IN THEIR ADULT LIVES.
[CHEERING]
TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS.
WE WILL COMPLETELY REBUILD OUR
DEPLETED MILITARY.
[CHEERING]
AND THE COUNTRIES THAT WE
PROTECTING AT A MASSIVE COST TO
US WILL BE ASKED TO PAY THEIR
FAIR SHARE. [CHEERING]
WE WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR GREAT
VETERANS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER
BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE.
[CHEERING]
MY JUST-RELEASED 10 POINT PLAN
HAS RELEASED -- RECEIVED
TREMENDOUS BETTER SUPPORT.
WE WILL GUARANTEE THOSE WHO
SERVE THIS COUNTRY WILL BE ABLE
TO VISIT THE DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL
OF THEIR CHOICE WITHOUT WAITING
FIVE DAYS IN A LINE AND DYING.
[CHEERING]
MY OPPONENT DISMISSED THE VA
SCANDAL, ONE MORE SIGN OF HOW
OUT OF TOUCH SHE REALLY IS, WE
ARE GOING TO ASK EVERY
DEPARTMENT HEAD AND GOVERNMENT
TO PROVIDE A LIST OF WASTEFUL
SPENDING PROJECTS THAT WE CAN
ELIMINATE IN MY FIRST 100 DAYS.
[CHEERING]
THE POLITICIANS HAVE TALKED
ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS, BUT I'M
GOING TO DO IT.
[CHEERING]
>> YES YOU WILL!
YES YOU WILL!
>> WE ARE ALSO GOING TO APPOINT
JUSTICES TO THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT WHO WILL UPHOLD
OUR LAWS AND OUR CONSTITUTION.
[CHEERING]
THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR BELOVED
JUSTICE SCALIA WILL BE A PERSON
PRINCIPLES ANDS,
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHIES.
VERY IMPORTANT. [CHEERING]
THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUES DECIDED BY THIS
ELECTION.
MY OPPONENT WANTS TO ESSENTIALLY
ABOLISH THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
>> BOO!
I, ON THE OTHER HAND,
RECEIVED THE EARLY AND STRONG
ENDORSEMENT OF THE NATIONAL
RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
[CHEERING]
AND WILL PROTECT THE RIGHT OF
ALL AMERICANS TO KEEP THEIR
FAMILIES SAFE.
[CHEERING]
AT THIS MOMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY
BECAUSE, I WILL TELL YOU WHAT,
THE SUPPORT THEY HAVE GIVEN ME,
AND I'M NOT SURE I TOTALLY
HAS BEEN SO AMAZING.
AND HAS HAD SUCH A BIG AND --
HAS BEEN SUCH A BIG REASON I'M
HERE TONIGHT. [CHEERING]
SARTRE.
THEY HAVE MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE TO
OUR POLICIES. YOU FROMAWS PREVENT
SPEAKING YOUR MIND FROM YOUR OWN
PULPITS. AN AMENDMENT, PUSHED BY LYNDON
JOHNSON, MANY YEARS AGO,
THREATENS RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
WITH A LOSS OF THEIR TAX-EXEMPT
STATUS IF THEY OPENLY ADVOCATE
THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS.
THEIR VOICE HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY.
I WILL WORK HARD TO REPEAL THAT
LANGUAGE AND TO PROTECT FREE
SPEECH FOR ALL AMERICANS.
[CHEERING]
WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THESE GREAT
THINGS AND SO MUCH MORE.
ALL WE NEED TO DO IS START
BELIEVING IN OURSELVES AND IN
OUR COUNTRY AGAIN.
START BELIEVING.
[CHEERING]
TIME TO SHOW THE WHOLE
WORLD THAT AMERICA IS BACK,
BIGGER AND BETTER AND STRONGER
THAN EVER BEFORE.
[CHEERING]
IN THIS JOURNEY, I'M SO LUCKY TO
HAVE AT MY SIDE MY WIFE MELANIA
AND MY WONDERFUL CHILDREN DON,
IVANKA, ERIC, TIFFANY, AND
BARRON: YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY
GREATEST SOURCE OF PRIDE AND
JOY.
ANDBY THE WAY, MELANIA
IVANKA, DID THEY DO A JOB?
[CHEERING]
MY DAD, FRED TRUMP, WAS THE
SMARTEST AND HARDEST WORKING MAN
I EVER KNEW. I WONDER SOMETIMES
WHAT HE'D SAY IF HE WERE HERE TO
SEE THIS TONIGHT.
IT'S BECAUSE OF HIM THAT I
LEARNED, FROM MY YOUNGEST AGE,
TO RESPECT THE DIGNITY OF WORK
AND THE DIGNITY OF WORKING
PEOPLE.
[CHEERING]
HE WAS A
GUY MOST COMFORTABLE IN THE
COMPANY OF BRICKLAYERS,
CARPENTERS, AND ELECTRICIANS AND
I HAVE A LOT OF THAT IN ME ALSO.
I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE.
[CHEERING]
THEN THERE'S MY MOTHER, MARY.
SHE WAS STRONG, BUT ALSO WARM
AND FAIR-MINDED.
SHE WAS A TRULY GREAT MOTHER.
SHE WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST
HONEST AND CHARITABLE PEOPLE I
HAVE EVER KNOWN, AND A GREAT
, GREAT JUDGE OF CHARACTER.
SHE COULD PICK THEM OUT FROM
ANYWHERE. [CHEERING]
SISTERS, MARY ANNE AND
ELIZABETH, MY BROTHER ROBERT AND
MY LATE BROTHER FRED, I WILL
ALWAYS GIVE YOU MY LOVE.
YOU ARE MOST SPECIAL TO
ME.
[CHEERING]
I HAVE LOVED MY LIFE IN
BUSINESS.
BUT NOW, MY SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
MISSION IS TO GO TO WORK FOR OUR
, TO GO TO WORK FOR YOU.
IT IS TIME TO DELIVER A VICTORY
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE DON'T WIN ANYMORE, BUT WE ARE
GOING TO START WINNING AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
BUT TO DO THAT, WE MUST BREAK
FREE FROM THE PETTY POLITICS OF
THE PAST.
AMERICA IS A NATION OF
BELIEVERS, DREAMERS,
AND STRIVERS THAT IS BEING LED
BY A GROUP OF CENSORS, CRITICS,
AND CYNICS.
REMEMBER: ALL OF THE PEOPLE
TELLING YOU YOU CAN'T HAVE THE
COUNTRY YOU WANT, ARE THE SAME
PEOPLE, THAT WOULD NOT STAND, I
MEAN THEY SAID TRUMP DOES NOT
HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING HERE
TONIGHT, NOT A CHANCE, THE SAME
PEOPLE.
WE LOVE DEFEATING THOSE PEOPLE,
DON'T WE?
[CHEERING]
LOVE IT.
NO LONGER CAN WE RELY ON THOSE
SAME PEOPLE. IN THE MEDIA AND POLITICS WHO
, WILL SAY ANYTHING TO KEEP A
RIGGED SYSTEM IN PLACE.
INSTEAD, WE MUST CHOOSE TO
BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
HISTORY IS WATCHING US NOW. IT'S
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
IT'S WAITING TO SEE IF WE WILL
RISE TO THE OCCASION, AND IF WE
WILL SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD THAT
AMERICA IS STILL FREE AND
INDEPENDENT AND STRONG. MY
[CHEERING]
I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT
TONIGHT SO THAT I CAN BE YEAR
CHAMPION IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND I WILL BE A CHAMPION.
-- YOUR CHAMPION.
[CHEERING]
MY OPPONENT ASKS HER SUPPORTERS
TO RECITE A THREE-WORD LOYALTY
PLEDGE.
IT READS: "I'M WITH HER". I
I CHOOSE TO RECITE A DIFFERENT
PLEDGE.
MY PLEDGE READS: "I'M WITH YOU
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
[CHEERING]
I AM YOUR VOICE.
[CHEERING]
SO TO EVERY PARENT WHO DREAMS
FOR THEIR CHILD, AND EVERY CHILD
WHO DREAMS FOR THEIR FUTURE, I
SAY THESE WORDS TO YOU TONIGHT:
I'M WITH YOU, AND I WILL FIGHT
FOR YOU, AND I WILL WIN FOR YOU.
[CHEERING]
TO ALL AMERICANS TONIGHT, IN ALL
OUR CITIES AND TOWNS, I MAKE
THIS PROMISE: WE WILL MAKE
AMERICA STRONG AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUD
AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
[CHEERING]
AND WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN!
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!
