Thank you for your time. Both bush and obama to some extent were prisoners of the situations they did not create. On the other hand they were theing participants in existing budget again. Author and Washington Post columnist Robert Singleton talks about his columns on business and economic issues, and the u. S. Economic performance under president obama. My opinion is not so high because he pursued policies that atentially were aimed buttressing his reputation and his legacy. It seemed to me it undermine the general confidence in the economy.

Its great to be in virginia a , state where i have so many great friends and wonderful employees. I have some Great Properties here with great employees. We have wonderful pauls they keep coming in. A brand new rasmussen poll has us leading by five points nationwide. [cheers] on november 8, we are going to win this state and we are going to win the white house. We are going to take on the big we are going to take it back. We are going to take on the big donors, and big business, and big media we are going to take on the rigged system that has shipped americas wealth to other countries. And they keep doing so. We are going to replace our failed and corrupt establishment with a government that serves you, your family, and your country. My economic agenda can be summed summed up with some very powerful words. Jobs, jobs, jobs. [cheers] we will cut taxes for all working and middleclass households in america. We will reduce regulations, which will put more money into the hands of our poorest workers and bring thousands of new companies to our shores. We will unleash American Energy, creating millions of new jobs and lowering energy costs. [cheers] we will repeal and replace obamacare. [cheers] president obama promised his plan would reduce premiums by 2500 a year. Instead, they surged 5,000 more. That is true. Our replacement plan includes expanded access to healthcare savings accounts, with support for those who need it. It includes allowing americans to buy Health Insurance across state lines in all 50 states, right. A dynamic and competitive new market. They will be competing for your business. Were also going to block grant a lot of those deals today you dont even know what they are going to be because they are going to get better and better with competition. Were also going to block grant medicaid so states can develop Innovative Solutions to make sure no citizen in poverty ever falls through the cracks. Never. Highrisk pools will also help to ensure that those with preexisting conditions will always get the quality coverage they need. On trade, we are going to end the international abuse, the foreign cheating, and the onesided rules that govern nafta what a deal that is. And the world trade organization. Right now, america eliminates its tariffs, but then other countries tax our goods with backdoor tariffs and close their markets. In other words, they tax us but we dont tax them. Not too good. You know how that is been working out. Its a one way out of this country for our jobs and our money. Our massive, chronic trade deficits are destroying the middle class and shifting money away from workers to large corporations who have no borders. Theres a reason hedge funds and wall street are giving tens of millions to my opponent. Hillary clinton is the voice for global special interests. I am running to be the voice of the forgotten men and women. [cheers] believe me they are forgotten. My opponent likes to say that for decades, she has been fighting for women. That she has been fighting for children. Why then are 70 million american women and children living in poverty, or on the brink of party and our country . Why has she provided no relief for the millions of americans in search of affordable, reliable Quality Childcare . For years she has been doing this and she is done nothing. You know the old saying, watch what i do, not what i say. At the trump organization, and in my campaign for president , women occupy some of the highest positions. I have employed thousands of women in my company. Women of different backgrounds. Women of many talents. And just last week, joined by my daughter, ivanka [cheers] i laid out my plan for childcare and eldercare. That plan has many great features, including taxfree childcare savings accounts. Lowincome parents are given tax credits they can put straight into those accounts, and then get a 500 per child match for those savings accounts deposits. Families can also deduct the cost of childcare from their taxes, a huge tax cut for the middle class. We have been talking a lot about improving education. My plan includes School Choice for every disadvantaged child in america. [cheers] of were going to get rid and and common core. [cheers] we are also going to bring down the cost of college. Universities get massive federal funds, and huge tax breaks for their endowments but then they dont spend those funds or those endowments on their students. I will work with congress to make sure these special federal benefits are not available unless universities begin to reduce tuition and student debt. It is too expensive. [cheers] this will get to the problem at and its right smack in the middle of the source. And reduce both the cost for students and the cost for taxpayers. Our students are drowning and were going to fix it. [cheers] women also value security. They want a commanderinchief that will defeat radical islamic terrorism [cheers] time. Going on too long. Now in 30 countries. Started off in a little area. They left the big vacuum, Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Now its in 30 countries, maybe more than that. We want to stop the massive inflow of refugees, protect our borders [cheers] and reduce the rising crime and violence in our cities. [cheers] we will build the wall, i promise we will build the wall. [cheers] in mexico will pay for the wall. [cheers] they will. As i Campaign Across this country, i hear so many stories and pleas from women especially, about drug addiction and opioid use. They are doing their best in their communities and for their families to provide a safe and nurturing environment. But even the bestlaid plans cannot always protect our youth, and increasingly, many adults, from the scourge of drugs. This is a scourge. We lose thousands of our fellow americans every year to opioid use. I will stop the drug inflow from our borders. Believe me. [cheers] these terrible drugs come over the border and make their way into our urban and rural communities, and into our suburbs. This must change. And the people that are there now, your socalled Leadership Group will never change it. That includes hillary, believe me. Every change starts with a conversation. Together, we will have this conversation. And we will make this change. 100 . The change will start immediately. Here in virginia we are going to end the war on American Energy and on our miners. Hillary clinton says she wants to put the miners out of work. [boos] they also to shut down shale and natural gas. The clinton regulatory agenda what they have done is incredible. The clinton regulatory agenda will drive up electricity prices for virginia families and will cost the u. S. Economy over 5 trillion. By the way, less than a week after taking office, tim kaine proposed a 4 billion tax hike on your state. 4 billion. Including on people earning as little as 17,000 a year. One week in office and proposed a 4 billion tax hike. Hes not very popular. He won his election by a close margin. I said maybe that is bad for me. We are just about tied in virginia and we have not started advertising. They are spending a fortune. She made the wrong pick. We are going to open up all sources of American Energy and bring jobs wealth, and cheaper , electricity to virginia. Another major part of our agenda is safety. I believe every family in america is entitled to live in safety and peace. [cheers] today, the nation just opened the Smithsonian National museum of africanamerican art. Its a beautiful place. I saw it the other day and it looked beautiful and we are all very proud of it. I can tell you that. We congratulate and honor those involved with the project, and recognize today the incredible contributions of the Africanamerican Community to this nation. [cheers] africanamericans have given so much to our nation and sacrificed so much for this nation. Many africanamericans are succeeding so greatly in our country, and i will make sure their success is protected and supported. At the same time [cheers] too many africanamericans have been left behind and trapped in poverty. I will fight to make sure every single africanamerican child in this country is fully included in the american dream. [cheers] that includes the new civil rights issue of our time, School Choice. Democrats have run the inner cities for half a century or more, and produced only more joblessness and poverty. The jobs are leaving, the schools are failing, and crime is rising. So to those africanamericans and hispanic voters, i say vote for donald trump. What do you have to lose . [cheers] i will fix it. I will fight harder for you than anyone has before. The policies of Hillary Clinton have brought only suffering in our inner cities just like her bad judgment overseas unleashed suffering everywhere she went. She has bad judgment. Of course, she got rich through it all. The clintons made another 60 million in gross income while she was secretary of state. Think of that. Worst of all, she put her Public Office up for sale and then bleached her emails, and destroyed her iphones with a hammer, to try to cover her tracks following a congressional subpoena. Figure that one out. Theres a reason the Hedge Fund Managers are donating to Hillary Clintons campaign and not mine. Everybody getting rich off the rigged system, and who wants really nothing but keeping it the same . They want to keep it just the same and they are throwing their money at Hillary Clinton. I wonder why. My campaign is powered by my own money, and by small dollar donations from everyday everybody and all of our patriotic citizens. 90 of our donors are small dollar donations. We are setting records for the republican party. Every dollar helps us deliver your county, your country, your area, virginia. It all essentiallys goes back to you. We will make it a better place where we keep jobs and bring new jobs in. [cheers] our campaign is about breaking up the special interest monopoly in washington, d. C. [cheers] were trying to disrupt the collusion between the wealthy donors, the large corporations, and the media executives. Theyre all part of the same political establishment. They go to the same restaurants, they attend the same conferences, they have the same friends and connections. They all support the same ideology of globalism that makes them rich while shipping your jobs, your factories, and your wealth to other countries. In particular lately to mexico. I am not running to be president of the world. I am running to be president of the United States. [cheers] i am for america and America First always. America first. [cheers] together, we will rebuild this country beyond of our dreams. We have such unbelievable the potential in this country. Ive gone all over the country. The crowd, everything. The people are so incredible. Our leading leaders are leading us down a deadly path. Whether its the military that is so depleted. They had depleted equipment. Everything is wrong. Vets are being so badly treated. How many veterans to be have today . [cheers] have Illegal Immigrants being treated better than our veterans in many cases. That is not going to happen. That is not going to happen anymore. Government will start working again. Fixing things is what i do. Just look at my projects in new york city where i turned rundown , spaces into new centers of business, activity and opportunity where others saw only problems, i saw only potential. We turned empty lots into homes, offices and living memories for thousands of workers and their families. Thats what i want to do for our country but on a very big scale. I want to go into the neglected neighborhoods the failing schools, the , forgotten stretches of this nation, and unlock their potential for all of our people. Ive made a living for years looking at unused spaces and imagining what they could be. Politicians look at blighted neighborhoods and offer only excuses. All they want is the vote. In the inner city in particular. Give us your vote and we will see you in four years. They do nothing. I look at those same neighborhoods and offer solutions. Everything broken today can be fixed. All we have to do is to an out the doubters, the cynics and the naysayers and there are plenty of them. We are a nation of strivers, dreamers, and believers and thats the spirit that will carry us to victory in november, and to great victories as a nation. Legal be respected again as a nation. [cheers] we will be respected as a nation. Its that same spirit of resilience i have seen visiting the floodravaged towns in louisiana, or meeting with the incredible but hardhit people in cities and towns like flint, michigan. What a shame. What they have done in flint. Spent hundreds of millions of dollars to destroy the water system. If they had left it alone, it wouldve been ok. Hundreds of millions of dollars and now they need hundreds of millions of dollars more. It used to be where the cars were made in flint. And you couldnt drink the water in mexico. Today, cars are made in mexico, and you cant drink the water in flint. No good, folks. Well turn it all around. But that means you need to show up and vote on november 8. You have to show up. You have to knock on doors. You have to pick up that phone. You have to campaign on the streets, spread the love we have. This is a Movement Like no one has seen in this country. Spread the love that we have in this room. To beat the system, you have to lift your voice, pound the pavement, and get out the vote. Get all your friends out to vote. [cheers] you have 44 days until the big vote. You have 44 days to make possible every dream you ever dreamed for yourself and for your country. You have one magnificent chance to deliver justice for every forgotten man, woman, and child in this nation. The arrogance of washington, d. C. Will soon come face to face with the righteous verdict of the american voter. Believe me, its enough. [cheers] this november we are going to show the whole world that america is back, bigger and better and stronger than ever before. [cheers] here is just some of what will happen starting in january of 2017. I am going to lower your taxes; hillary is going to raise your taxes substantially. I am going to eliminate every unnecessary regulation of which there are many. Hillary will keep it going worse than ever before. We are going to unleash American Energy. Minill be so good to our ers. We will get those miners back. Illegal immigration and yes, we will build the wall. [cheers] we will rebuild your depleted military. And again take care of our veterans. [cheers] and we are going to support and cherish our Police Officers and firefighters. [cheers] we will save our second amendment, which is under siege. Appointre going to justices to the Supreme Court of the United States who will uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. [cheers] we will rebuild our roads, bridges, tunnels, highways, airports, schools, and hospitals. We will rebuild the infrastructure of our country which is crumbling like never before. It will be rebuilt. American cars will travel the roads, american planes will soar the skies, and american ships will patrol the seas. American steel will send new skyscrapers into the clouds. [cheers] and i will keep saying it because i love to say it, we will put our great miners and steelworkers back to work. [cheers] donald trump american hands will rebuild this nation. American energy harvested from american sources will power our nation. American workers will be hired to do the job. [cheers] donald trump we will put new into the spine of our country. I will fight for every neglected part of this nation. I will fight to bring us all together as one people. Imagine what our country could accomplish if we started working together as one people under one god saluting one american flag. [cheers] donald trump it is time to break with the bitter families of the past and to embrace a new inclusive and prosperous american future. We dont have that now. Were a debtor nation. We owe 20 trillion, our debt has doubled since president obama assumed office. [booing[ donald trump doubled, all those hundreds of years and is 7. 5 years our debt has doubled up and our country is a mess. Our roads are bad our bridges are that our military is depleted. It is one thing if it doubles. You want to see everything in tip top shape. But it is not. It is a mess. Hillary clinton has a three word iaign pledge and it reads m with her. I have a different pledge mine reads im with you, the American People. Applause]d and donald trump to all of our people i say these words to you tonight im with you i will fight for yo
