Trump Convention Speech


My fellow Americans...

Our country stands a great crossroads, shall we continue to feed the old party system or, try something new?

When I began my campaign, I saw a country that can't keep going along. But, not just that, during this campaign I have talked with many Americans, some struggling to get by. I saw something else, I saw that millions of Americans have been ignored and left out for too long.

Our movement is about replacing the old political establishment with a new government, of, by and for the people. The establishment for too long has ripped off Americans by offering them only too choices. Republican or Democrat?

For a time I was a Democrat, and for a time I was a Republican. However, I saw that neither party had the guts and the vision to roll up their sleeves and fix our country. That is why we need a third choice, a third way.

The establishment will tell you that a vote for me is a wasted vote. But the only wasted vote is by not voting for who you believe in.

Do not listen when they say that you have only two options. The biggest con ever pulled is to convince people that can't vote for a different person. For the first time we have someone who is going to work like hell to win the White House. Me.

...

I have been to Detroit, to Chicago. These were once wonders of innovation and industry. At the turn of the last century they were beacons of American prosperity, the American dream. At the turn of this century however, our inner cities are dangerous hot spots of crime and poverty. The working class, the African American community, you name it have all been betrayed by a corrupt and incompetent Washington, who only looks out for their own interests.


As a billionaire, I am not beholden to special interests and lobbyists. The only people I am accountable are you, the American people. Together we can work to rebuild our country from the ground up.

No matter your background, and believe me I mean everyone, no matter your background we can all agree that we deserve better, and with your vote, we can build The America We Deserve.

Thank you and god bless America...

After the end of Trump's acceptance speech, the rest of his family, his wife and children as well as running mate Norman Schwarzkopf joined him for the balloon drop.

Donald Trump had never felt more alive in his life than at that moment, as New York, New York played and he was joined by those he loved and respected. Now, he was more determined than ever to complete the journey, to take back the White House.
