>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
FRIENDS, DELEGATES AND FELLOW 
AMERICANS, I HUMBLY AND 
GRATEFULLY ACCEPT YOUR 
NOMINATION FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF
THE UNITED STATES.
USA, USA, USA.
WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED THAT 
WHEN WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY ON 
JUNE 16th LAST YEAR, WE AND I 
SAY WE BECAUSE WE ARE A TEAM, 
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 THIS?
WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED THIS?
THE DEMOCRATS ON THE OTHER HAND 
RECEIVED 20% FEWER VOTES THAN 
THEY GOT FOUR YEARS AGO.
NOT SO GOOD.
TOGETHER WE WILL LEAD OUR PARTY 
BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND WE 
WILL LEAD OUR COUNTRY BACK TO 
SAFETY, PROSPERITY AND PEACE.
WE WILL BE A COUNTRY OF 
GENEROSITY AND WARMTH, BUT WE 
WILL ALSO BE A COUNTRY OF LAW 
AND ORDER.
OUR CONVENTION OCCURS AT A 
MOMENT OF CRISIS FOR OUR NATION.
THE ATTACKS ON OUR POLICE AND 
THE TERRORISM OF OUR CITIES 
THREATEN OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE.
ANY POLITICIAN WHO DOES NOT 
GRASP THIS DANGER IS NOT FIT TO 
LEAD OUR COUNTRY.
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 
THAT CRIME AND VIOLENCE THAT 
TODAY AFFLICTS OUR NATION WILL 
SOON AND I MEAN VERY SOON COME 
TO AN END.
BEGINNING ON JANUARY 20th OF 
2017, SAFETY WILL BE RESTORED.
THE MOST BASIC DUTY OF 
GOVERNMENT IS TO DEFEND THE 
LIVES OF ITS OWN CITIZENS.
ANY GOVERNMENT THAT FAILS TO DO 
SO IS A GOVERNMENT UNWORTHY TO 
LEAD.
IT IS FINALLY TIME FOR A 
STRAIGHT FORWARD ASSESSMENT OF 
THE STATE OF OUR NATION.
I WILL PRESENT THE FACTS PLAINLY
AND HONESTLY.
WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE SO 
POLITICALLY CORRECT ANYMORE.
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.
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 50 LARGEST 
CITIES.
THAT'S THE LARGEST INCREASE IN 
25 YEARS.
IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, 
KILLINGS HAVE RISEN BY 50%.
THEY'RE UP NEARLY 60% IN NEARBY 
BALTIMORE.
IN THE PRESIDENT'S HOMETOWN OF 
CHICAGO, MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE 
HAVE BEEN THE VICTIM OF 
SHOOTINGS THIS YEAR ALONE.
AND ALMOST 4,000 HAVE BEEN 
KILLED IN THE CHICAGO AREA SINCE
HE TOOK OFFICE.
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 FROM 2015.
THEY ARE BEING RELEASED BY THE 
TENS OF THOUSANDS INTO OUR 
COMMUNITIES WITH NO REGARD FOR 
THE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY OR 
RESOURCES.
ONE SUCH BORDER CROSSER WAS 
RELEASED AND MADE HIS WAY TO 
NEBRASKA.
THERE HE ENDED THE LIFE OF AN 
INNOCENT YOUNG GIRL NAMED SARA 
RUTE.
SHE WAS 21 YEARS OLD AND WAS 
KILLED THE DAY AFTER GRADUATING 
FROM COLLEGE WITH A 4.0 GRADE 
POINT AVERAGE, NUMBER ONE IN HER
CLASS.
HER KILLER WAS THEN RELEASED A 
SECOND TIME AND HE IS NOW A 
FUGITIVE FROM THE LAW.
I'VE MET SARA'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 ORDER AND 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 4 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 
PRESIDENT OBAMA TOOK HIS OATH OF
OFFICE LESS THAN 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'S 16 YEARS AGO.
OUR TRADE DEFICIT IN GOODS 
REACHED NEARLY -- THINK OF THIS,
THINK OF THIS.
OUR TRADE DEFICIT IS $800 
BILLION -- THINK OF THAT.
$800 BILLION LAST YEAR ALONE.
WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT.
THE BUDGET IS NO BETTER.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS ALMOST 
DOUBLED OUR NATIONAL DEBT TO 
MORE THAN $19 TRILLION AND 
GROWING.
AND YET WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW 
FOR IT?
OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES ARE 
FALLING APART.
OUR AIRPORTS ARE 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'VE 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 GUN POINT.
THIS WAS JUST PRIOR TO THE 
SIGNING OF THE IRAN DEAL, WHICH 
GAVE BACK TO IRAN $150 BILLION 
AND GAVE US ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
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.
IN LIBYA OUR CONSULATE, THE 
SYMBOL OF AMERICA 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.
LET'S DEFEAT HER IN NOVEMBER, 
OKAY.
I AM CERTAIN THAT IT WAS A 
DECISION THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA 
TRULY REGRETS.
HER BAD INSTINCTS AND HER BAD 
JUDGMENT, SOMETHING POINTED OUT 
BY BERNIE SANDERS, ARE WHAT 
CAUSED SO MANY OF THE DISASTERS 
UNFOLDING TODAY.
LET'S REVIEW THE RECORD.
IN 2009 PRE-HILLARY, ISIS WAS 
NOT EVEN ON THE MAP, LIBYA WAS 
STABLE, EGYPT WAS PEACEFUL, IRAQ
WAS SEEING A BIG, BIG REDUCTION 
IN VIOLENCE, IRAN WAS BEING 
CHOKED BY SANCTIONS, SYRIA 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 IN ENGULFED IN A CIVIL 
WAR AND A REFUGEE CRISIS 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, TERRORISM 
AND WEAKNESS.
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 IN THE FIRST 
PLACE.
A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP IS 
REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A CHANGE IN 
OUTCOMES.
TONIGHT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU MY
PLAN FOR ACTION FOR AMERICA, THE
MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE 
BETWEEN OUR PLAN AND THAT OF OUR
OPPONENT IS THAT OUR PLAN WILL 
PUT AMERICA FIRST.
AMERICANISM, NOT GLOBALISM, WILL
BE OUR CREDO 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.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL COME 
FIRST ONES AGAIN.
 -- ONCE AGAIN.
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.
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'S BECAUSE THESE INTERESTS 
HAVE RIGGED OUR POLITICAL AND 
ECONOMIC SYSTEM FOR THEIR 
EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT.
BELIEVE ME, IT'S FOR 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.
EVERY DAY I WAKE UP DETERMINED 
TO DELIVER A BETTER LIFE FOR THE
PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THIS NATION 
THAT HAVE 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'RE NOT 
GOING TO BE FORGOTTEN LONG.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD 
BUT NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE.
I AM YOUR VOICE.
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 
INJUSTICE.
HOW GREAT ARE OUR POLICE AND HOW
GREAT IS CLEVELAND!
THANK YOU.
I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR 
INJUSTICE, NO TOLERANCE FOR 
GOVERNMENT INCOMPETENCE, OF 
WHICH THERE IS SO MUCH.
NO SYMPATHY FOR LEADERS WHO FAIL
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 STILL WORSE 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.
AND WHEN A SECRETARY OF STATE 
ILLEGALLY STORES HER E-MAILS 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 
CONSEQUENCE, I KNOW THAT 
CORRUPTION HAS REACHED A LEVEL 
LIKE NEVER EVER BEFORE IN OUR 
COUNTRY.
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 EGREGIOUS CRIME AND GETTING
AWAY WITH IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN 
OTHERS WHO HAVE DONE FAR LESS 
HAVE PAID SO DEARLY.
WHEN THAT SAME SECRETARY OF 
STATE RAKES IN MILLIONS AND 
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TRADING 
ACCESS AND FAVORS TO SPECIAL 
INTERESTS AND FOREIGN POWERS, I 
KNOW THE TIME FOR ACTION HAS 
COME.
I HAVE JOINED THE POLITICAL 
ARENA SO THAT THE POWERFUL CAN 
NO LONGER BEAT UP ON PEOPLE WHO 
CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES.
NOBODY KNOWS THE SYSTEM BETTER 
THAN ME.
WHICH IS WHY I ALONE CAN FIX IT.
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.
NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
BUT HIS SUPPORTERS WILL JOIN OUR
MOVEMENT BECAUSE WE WILL FIX HIS
BIGGEST SINGLE ISSUE, TRADE 
DEALS THAT STRIP OUR COUNTRY OF 
ITS JOBS AND STRIP US OF OUR 
WEALTH AS A 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.
IN THIS CAUSE, I AM PROUD TO 
HAVE AT MY SIDE THE NEXT VICE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 
GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE OF INDIANA!
AND A GREAT GUY.
WE WILL BRING THE SAME ECONOMIC 
SUCCESS TO AMERICA THAT MIKE 
BROUGHT TO INDIANA, WHICH IS 
AMAZING.
HE'S A MAN OF CHARACTER AND 
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
HE IS THE 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 OUR 
COMMUNITIES.
AMERICA WAS SHOCKED TO ITS CORE 
WHEN OUR POLICE OFFICERS IN 
DALLAS WERE SO BRUTALLY 
EXECUTED.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DALLAS, WE'VE 
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.
ON SUNDAY MORE POLICE WERE 
GUNNED DOWN IN BATON ROUGE, 
LOUISIANA.
THREE WERE KILLED AND THREE WERE
VERY, VERY BADLY INJURED.
AN ATTACK ON LAW ENFORCEMENT IS 
AN ATTACK ON ALL AMERICANS.
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.
BELIEVE ME, BELIEVE ME.
I WILL WORK WITH AND APPOINT THE
BEST AND BRIGHTEST PROSECUTORS 
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS TO
GET THE JOB PROPERLY DONE.
IN THIS RACE FOR THE WHITE 
HOUSE, I AM THE LAW AND ORDER 
CANDIDATE.
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 SEEN.
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 BETTER 
FOR YOUNG AMERICANS IN 
BALTIMORE, IN CHICAGO, IN 
DETROIT, IN FERGUSON WHO HAVE 
REALLY IN EVERY WAY, FOLKS, THE 
SAME RIGHT TO LIVE OUT THEIR 
DREAMS AS ANY OTHER CHILD IN 
AMERICA.
ANY OTHER CHILD.
TO MAKE LIFE SAFE FOR ALL OF OUR
CITIZENS, WE MUST ALSO ADDRESS 
THE GROWING THREATS WE FACE FROM
OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.
WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THE 
BARBARIANS OF ISIS, AND WE'RE 
GOING TO DEFEAT THEM FAST.
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, AT A 
MILITARY RECRUITING CENTER IN 
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, AND 
MANY, 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.
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, 
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.
TO PROTECT US FROM TERRORISM, WE
NEED TO FOCUS ON THREE THINGS.
WE MUST HAVE THE BEST, 
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GATHERING OF
INTELLIGENCE ANYWHERE IN THE 
WORLD.
THE BEST.
WE MUST ABANDON THE FAILED 
POLICY OF NATION BUILDING AND 
REGIME CHANGE THAT HILLARY 
CLINTON PUSHED IN IRAQ, IN 
LIBYA, IN EGYPT AND IN 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.
THIS INCLUDES WORKING WITH OUR 
GREATEST ALLY IN THE REGION, THE
STATE OF ISRAEL.
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.
AS USUAL, THE UNITED STATES 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 
DIRECTION.
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.
MY OPPONENT HAS CALLED FOR A 
RADICAL 550% INCREASE IN 
SYRIAN -- THINK OF THIS, THINK 
OF THIS.
THIS IS NOT BELIEVABLE BUT THIS 
IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.
A 550% INCREASE IN SYRIAN 
REFUGEES ON TOP OF THE EXISTING 
MASSIVE REFUGEE FLOWS COMING IN 
TO OUR COUNTRY ALREADY UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT OBAMA.
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!
ANYONE WHO ENDORSES VIOLENCE, 
HATRED OR OPPRESSION IS NOT 
WELCOME IN OUR COUNTRY AND 
NEVER, EVER WILL BE.
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.
ON MONDAY WE HEARD FROM THREE 
PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN WERE 
KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
MARY ANN MENDOZA, SUBBINE DURDEN
AND MY FRIEND JAMEEL SHAW.
THEY'RE JUST THREE BRAVE 
REPRESENTATIVES OF MANY 
THOUSANDS WHO HAVE SUFFERED SO 
GRAVELY.
OF ALL MY TRAVELS IN THIS 
COUNTRY, NOTHING HAS AFFECTED ME
MORE, NOTHING EVEN CLOSE I HAVE 
TO TELL YOU, 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.
THESE FAMILIES HAVE NO SPECIAL 
INTERESTS TO REPRESENT THEM.
THERE ARE NO DEMONSTRATORS TO 
PROTECT THEM AND CERTAINLY NONE 
TO PROTEST ON THEIR BEHALF.
MY OPPONENT WILL NEVER MEET WITH
THEM OR SHARE IN THEIR PAIN, 
BELIEVE ME.
INSTEAD MY OPPONENT WANTS 
SANCTUARY CITIES.
BUT WHERE WAS THE SANCTUARY FOR 
KATE STEINLY?
WHERE WAS THE SANCTUARY FOR THE 
CHILDREN OF MARIAN AND SAABINE 
AND JAMILY?
WHERE WAS THE SANCTUARY FOR ALL 
OF THE -- OH, IT'S SO SAD TO 
EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE
WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO 
QUICKLY.
WHERE WAS THE SANCTUARY FOR ALL 
OF THE OTHER AMERICANS WHO HAVE 
BEEN SO BRUTALLY MURDERED AND 
WHO HAVE SUFFERED SO, SO 
HORRIBLY?
THESE WOUNDED AMERICAN FAMILIES 
HAVE BEEN ALONE, BUT THEY ARE 
NOT ALONE ANY LONGER.
TONIGHT THIS CANDIDATE AND THE 
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 AND THE SAME AWFUL 
FATE.
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!
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, LAWFUL 
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
LAWFUL.
BY ENDING CATCH AND RELEASE ON 
THE BORDER, WE WILL END THE 
CYCLE OF HUMAN SMUGGLING AND 
VIOLENCE.
ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS WILL GO
DOWN.
WE WILL STOP IT.
IT WON'T BE HAPPENING VERY MUCH 
ANYMORE, BELIEVE ME.
PEACE WILL BE RESTORED BY 
ENFORCING THE RULES FOR MILLIONS
WHO OVERSTAY THEIR VISAS.
OUR LAWS WILL FINALLY RECEIVE 
THE RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE.
TONIGHT I WANT EVERY AMERICAN 
WHOSE DEMANDS FOR IMMIGRATION 
SECURITY HAVE BEEN DENIED AND 
EVERY POLITICIAN WHO HAS DENIED 
THEM TO LISTEN VERY, VERY 
CLOSELY TO THE WORDS I AM ABOUT 
TO SAY.
ON JANUARY 20th OF 2017, THE DAY
I TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE, 
AMERICANS WILL FINALLY WAKE UP 
IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE LAWS OF 
THE UNITED STATES ARE ENFORCED.
WE ARE GOING TO BE CONSIDERATE 
AND COMPASSIONATE TO EVERYONE, 
BUT MY GREATEST COMPASSION WILL 
BE FOR OUR OWN STRUGGLING 
CITIZENS.
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.
HER PLAN WILL OVERWHELM YOUR 
SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS, FURTHER 
REDUCE YOUR JOBS AND WAGES AND 
MAKE IT HARDER FOR RECENT 
IMMIGRANTS TO ESCAPE THE 
TREMENDOUS CYCLE OF POVERTY THAT
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW 
AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE 
FOR THEM TO JOIN THE MIDDLE 
CLASS.
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.
I HAVE MADE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS 
IN BUSINESS MAKING DEALS.
NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE OUR 
COUNTRY RICH AGAIN.
USING THE GREATEST 
BUSINESSPEOPLE IN THE WORLD, 
WHICH OUR COUNTRY HAS, I AM 
GOING TO TURN OUR BAD TRADE 
AGREEMENTS INTO GREAT TRADE 
AGREEMENTS.
AMERICA HAS LOST NEARLY ONE 
THIRD OF ITS MANUFACTURING JOBS 
SENSE 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.
I AM GOING TO BRING 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 
CONSEQUENCE.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANYMORE.
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'S NOT GOING 
TO HAPPEN.
I PLEDGE TO NEVER SIGN ANY TRADE
AGREEMENT THAT HURTS OUR WORKERS
OR THAT DIMINISHES OUR FREEDOM 
AND OUR INDEPENDENCE.
WE WILL NEVER EVER SIGN BAD 
TRADE DEALS.
AMERICA FIRST.
AGAIN, AMERICA FIRST.
INSTEAD I WILL MAKE INDIVIDUAL 
DEALS WITH INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES.
NO LONGER WILL WE ENTER INTO 
THESE MASSIVE 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.
THIS INCLUDES STOPPING CHINA'S 
OUTRAGEOUS THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY, ALONG WITH THEIR 
ILLEGAL PRODUCT DUMPING AND 
THEIR DEVASTATING CURRENCY 
MANIPULATION.
THEY ARE THE GREATEST THAT EVER 
CAME ABOUT, THEY ARE THE 
GREATEST CURRENCY MANIPULATEORS 
EVER!
OUR HORRIBLE TRADE AGREEMENTS 
WITH CHINA AND MANY OTHERS WILL 
BE TOTALLY RENEGOTIATED.
THAT INCLUDES RENEGOTIATING 
NAFTA TO GET A MUCH BETTER DEAL 
FOR AMERICA AND WILL WALK AWAY 
IF WE DON'T GET THAT KIND OF A 
DEAL!
OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO START 
BUILDING AND MAKING THINGS 
AGAIN.
NEXT COMES THE REFORM OF OUR TAX
LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ENERGY 
RULES.
WHILE HILLARY CLINTON PLANS A 
MASSIVE, AND I MEAN MASSIVE TAX 
INCREASE, I HAVE PROPOSED THE 
LARGEST TAX REDUCTION OF ANY 
CANDIDATE WHO HAS RUN FOR 
PRESIDENT THIS YEAR, DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN.
MIDDLE INCOME AMERICANS AND 
BUSINESSES WILL EXPERIENCE 
PROFOUND RELIEF AND TAXES WILL 
BE GREATLY SIMPLIFIED FOR 
EVERYONE.
I MEAN EVERYONE.
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.
THEN WE'RE 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
IT VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
WE ARE GOING TO LIFT THE 
RESTRICTIONS ON THE PRODUCTION 
OF AMERICAN ENERGY.
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 THE GREAT STEEL WORKERS OF 
OUR COUNTRY OUT OF WORK AND OUT 
OF BUSINESS.
THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH 
DONALD J. TRUMP AS PRESIDENT.
OUR STEEL WORKERS AND OUR MINERS
ARE GOING BACK TO WORK AGAIN.
WITH THESE NEW ECONOMIC 
POLICIES, TRILLIONS AND 
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 
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.
MY OPPONENT WOULD RATHER PROTECT
BUREAUCRATS THAN SERVE AMERICAN 
CHILDREN, AND THAT'S WHAT SHE'S 
DOING AND THAT'S WHAT SHE'S 
DONE.
WE WILL REPEAL AND REPLACE 
DISASTROUS OBAMA CARE!
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR 
OWN DOCTOR AGAIN.
AND WE WILL FIX TSA AT THE 
AIRPORTS, WHICH IS A TOTAL 
DISASTER.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO 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.
TREMENDOUS PROBLEM.
WE WILL COMPLETELY REBUILD OUR 
DEPLETED MILITARY.
AND THE COUNTRIES THAT WE ARE 
PROTECTING AT A MASSIVE COST TO 
US, WILL BE ASKED TO PAY THEIR 
FAIR SHARE!
WE WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR GREAT 
VETERANS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER 
BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE.
MY JUST RELEASED TEN-POINT PLAN 
HAS RECEIVED TREMENDOUS VETERAN 
SUPPORT.
WE WILL GUARANTEE THOSE WHO 
SERVED THIS COUNTRY WILL BE BE A
MY OPPONENT DISMISSED THE V.A. 
SCANDAL.
ONE MORE SIGN OF HOW OUT OF 
TOUCH SHE REALLY IS.
WE ARE GOING TO DEPARTMENT HEAD 
IN GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE A LIST 
OF WASTEFUL SPENDING, A PROJECT 
THAT WE CAN ELIMINATE IN MY 
FIRST 100 DAYS.
THE POLITICIANS HAVE TALKED 
ABOUT THIS FOR YEAR, BUT I'M 
GOING TO DO IT.
WE ARE GOING TO APPOINT JUSTICES
OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME 
COURT WHO WILL UPHOLD OUR LAWS 
AND OUR CONSTITUTION!
THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR BELOVED 
JUSTICE SCALIA WILL BE A PERSON 
OF SIMILAR VIEWS, PRINCIPLES AND
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHIES, VERY 
IMPORTANT.
THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST 
IMPORTANT ISSUES DECIDED BY THIS
ELECTION.
MY OPPONENT WANTS TO ESSENTIALLY
ABOLISH THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
I, ON THE OTHER HAND, RECEIVED 
EARLY AND STRONG ENDORSEMENT OF 
THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
AND WILL PROTECT THE RIGHT OF 
ALL AMERICANS TO KEEP THEIR 
FAMILIES SAFE.
AT THIS MOMENT I WOULD LIKE TO 
THANK THE EVANGELICAL AND 
RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY BECAUSE I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT, THE SUPPORT THAT 
THEY'VE GIVEN ME, AND I'M NOT 
SURE I TOTALLY DESERVE IT, HAS 
BEEN SO AMAZING AND HAS HAD SUCH
A BIG REASON FOR ME BEING HERE 
TONIGHT.
TRUE.
SO TRUE.
THEY HAVE MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE TO 
OUR POLITICS, YET OUR LAWS 
PREVENT YOU FROM SPEAKING YOUR 
MINDS 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 AM GOING TO WORK VERY HARD TO 
REPEAL THAT LANGUAGE AND TO 
PROTECT FREE SPEECH FOR ALL 
AMERICANS.
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.
IT IS TIME TO SHOW THE WHOLE 
WORLD THAT AMERICA IS BECOME, 
BIGGER AND BETTER AND STRONGER 
THAN EVER BEFORE!
IN THIS JOURNEY I'M SO LUCKY TO 
HAVE AT MY SIDE MY WIFE, 
MELANIA, AND MY WONDERFUL 
CHILDREN.
DON, IVANKA, ERIC, TIFFANY AND 
BARON, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY 
GREATEST SOURCE OF PRIDE AND 
JOY.
AND, BY THE WAY, MELANIA AND 
IVANKA, DID THEY DO A JOB.
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 AND 
TO SEE ME 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.
HE WAS A GUY MOST COMFORTABLE IN
THE COMPANY OF BRICKLAYERS AND 
CARPENTERS AND ELECTRICIANS AND 
I HAVE A LOT OF THAT IN ME ALSO.
I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE.
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 
THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN, AND A 
GREAT, GREAT JUDGE OF CHARACTER.
SHE COULD PICK 'EM OUT FROM 
ANYWHERE.
TO MY SISTERS, MARIAN AND 
ELIZABETH, MY BROTHER, ROB ROBE 
AND MY LATE BROTHER, FRED, I 
WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU MY LOVE.
YOU ARE MOST SPECIAL TO ME.
I HAVE HAD A TRULY GREAT LIFE IN
BUSINESS, BUT NOW MY SOLE AND 
EXCLUSIVE MISSION IS TO GO TO 
WORK FOR OUR COUNTRY, TO GO TO 
WORK FOR YOU.
IT'S TIME TO DELIVER A VICTORY 
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE DON'T WIN ANYMORE, BUT WE ARE
GOING TO START WINNING AGAIN!
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 WOULDN'T STAND -- I 
MEAN, THEY SAID TRUMP DOESN'T 
HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING HERE 
TONIGHT, NOT A CHANCE.
THE SAME PEOPLE.
OH, WE LOVE DEFEATING THOSE 
PEOPLE, DON'T WE?
DON'T WE LOVE DEFEATING THOSE 
PEOPLE.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
NO LONGER CAN WE RELY ON THOSE 
SAME PEOPLE, IN THE MEDIA AND 
POLITICS, WHO WILL SAY ANYTHING 
TO KEEP OUR RIGGED SYSTEM IN 
PLACE.
INSTEAD, WE MUST CHOOSE TO 
BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
HISTORY IS WATCHING US NOW.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
BUT HISTORY IS WATCHING.
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.
I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT 
TONIGHT SO THAT I CAN BE YOUR 
CHAMPION IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND
I WILL BE YOUR CHAMPION.
MY OPPONENT ASKS HER SUPPORTERS 
TO RECITE A THREE-WORD LOYALTY 
PLEDGE.
IT READS "I'M WITH HER."
I CHOOSE TO RECITE A DIFFERENT 
PLEDGE.
MY PLEDGE READS, "I'M WITH YOU, 
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE."
I AM YOUR VOICE.
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 AM WITH YOU, I WILL FIGHT FOR 
YOU, AND I WILL WIN FOR YOU.
TO ALL AMERICANS TONIGHT IN ALL 
OF OUR CITIES AND IN ALL OF OUR 
TOWNS, I MAKE THIS PROMISE -- WE
WILL MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUD 
AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
AND WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT 
AGAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!
I LOVE YOU!
