Trump to lay out first 100 days in Gettysburg speech

Source: The Hill

Donald Trump will deliver a major speech Saturday morning to lay out his priorities for his first 100 days as president, aides confirmed Friday night.

The GOP nominee's speech in Gettysburg, Penn., home of the turning point battle in the Civil War and the site of Abraham Lincoln's famed address, will serve as the beginning of the campaign's closing argument just 16 days before Election Day.

Campaign aides were tight-lipped about specific details for his 100-day plan, instead noting that it will be a "very specific, detailed vision" for "economic and physical security."

One aide compared it to the GOP's 1994 "Contract with America," the Republican plan spearheaded by Newt Gingrich that helped the party win back the House.

that he keeps folding newspapers into Napoleon hat shapes and wearing them around campaign H.Q.

Conaway asked where does he keep getting those papers? Because no one around here reads papers.

Another staffer said the campaign had bought 50,000 copies of the Santa Barbara News-Press, and he keeps going down to the garage and getting a new one, after the old one gets confiscated.

Distressed staffers are trying to get rid of the bales of newspapers. They're especially dismayed by the way he sticks his tongue out of one side of his mouth, while he's wearing the hat.

When those 100,000 copies
of the Waxahachie Daily Light,
that the campaign ordered,
get shipped in,
the shit is really going to hit the fan.

But there's a no-refunds policy, so the delivery can't be cancelled.

Watch out for campaign panic, and mass desertions, when that shipment arrives.

Apparently Eric Trump's last round of fund-raising letters included them (watching my Tivoed Lawrence this AM so it's verbatim):

This is what my father is determined to do in his first 100 days in office - this is what we're fighting for. He will:

- appoint judges who will uphold our constitution
- immediately negotiate better trade deals
- change federal immigration rules and cancel numerous regulations, to provide more high-paying jobs to our people
- open up energy production to jumpstart our economy
- repeal the Obamacare disaster to provide relief to American families


Hard to wait for the election to be over.

Abrogating treaties, stopping all environmental regulations, cutting taxes, increasing the military and thereby causing a recession the likes of which we've never seen. Ending ACA with nothing but empty air to replace it at the same time the environment will become so much more toxic due to no regulations, more miners dying than ever,more people sicker than ever. Health savings accounts are only for the rich, won't help unemployed or under employed and guess it's just OK with him for them to die? Penalties for companies closing businesses here (don't believe one word of that, total lie) but nothing about people like him doing all new manufacturing there. He complains about our ailing infrastructure but it's his party that caused that, his party that cut VA, they caused the issues and it's just another lie that he will fix these. Saying he'll make college more affordable, no mention of how, like always and like always, it's just another lie. Can't listen anymore, so tired of his almost 100% lies and distortions.

The mean things Crooked Hillary and her accomplices have said about me have left me scarred and deformed. But, I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger.

In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the United States of America will be reorganized into the Trump Empire for a safe and secure society!

Speech given by a MESSY, MUDDLED racist, tired and CRAZY man (And I use the word "Man" loosely).

And he's not going to sue ANY of his accusers, because that would require something he doesn't want, and that's called DISCOVERY. Once again, he's talking loud and saying nothing. Empty rhetoric in that rambling "Gettysburg Speech," which was crazy. There's something for everybody: Racist rhetoric, there's tax-cuts for the richest 1%, there would be no regulations of companies which will mean there'd be more serious decimation of the environment and more, more talk of Mexico paying for the wall, and because he knows that he's losing "BIGLY," he once again said that the election was rigged against him and of course he wants to put Hillary in jail to chants of "Lock her up" in the background by his basket of racist & sexist and dumb deplorables

A ridiculous speech for him & his rancid deplorables.

There's roughly 2 more weeks left in the embarrassing, rolling freak show that has been a tRump candidacy

1. Throw Hillary Clinton in jail.
2. Send 250,000 troops to Iraq to take ISIS' oil.
3. Direct the same masonry company that built Trump Tower to start building a wall.
4. Throw Bill Clinton in jail.
5. Sue every woman whose pussy he grabbed for violating the NDA she signed.
6. Send 250,000 troops to Mexico to force them to pay for his wall.
7. Throw Chelsea Clinton in jail.
8. Begin the process of deporting all the illegal immigrants who aren't currently working for Donald Trump.
9. Confiscate the guns of all liberals because the Second Amendment says only the People have the right to bear arms, and he doesn't consider liberals to be people.
10. Throw Marc Mezvinsky in jail.
11. Close all fraudulent charities, "fraudulent" defined as any charity without his name on it, and throw their officers in jail.
12. Extend capital punishment to lesser crimes because there's no more room in the prisons.
13. Throw Chelsea and Marc's baby in prison.
14. Declare all Americans to be liberals so he can confiscate everyone's guns.
15. Announce his new children's club, the Trump Youth.
16. Announce the greatest women's slogan of all time, Children, Church, Kitchen.
17. Begin growing Charlie Chaplin mustache.
18. Hold major prime time address to detail the Final Solution to the Muslim Problem.
19. Orders Volkswagen, Samsung, Apple and all other countries currently importing goods to the US to close their overseas factories and manufacture in the US like all good American companies do.
20. Trump revolution ends on Day 3 as he and his advisors are lined up against the White House fence and executed in a hail of bullets fired by as much of the 101st Airborne Division as they could pack into all the C-5 cargo planes they could scrape together on six hours' notice. Hillary Clinton is asked to take the presidency; she graciously accepts and, as her first act, hand-writes an executive order repealing Trump's gun grab. Breitbart-dot-com immediately goes dark as it's readers realized they were lied to.
