In USA Today op-ed, Donald Trump makes a last-minute appeal to voters
Over the past 17 months, Donald Trump has connected with Americans in such a way that "your hopes have become my hopes and your dreams have become my dreams," the Republican nominee wrote in an op-ed published Sunday night in USA Today.
In a last-minute pitch before Election Day, Trump wrote about his Contract with the American Voter, a "100-day action plan to clean up corruption and bring change to Washington." Trump claims that the contract will "offer a historic pro-growth plan to create 25 million good-paying jobs," and will "cut taxes on middle-class Americans by 35 percent" and "eliminate every needless job-killing regulation."
Real change begins with repealing and replacing "job-killing ObamaCare," Trump said, as well as "immediately" securing the border, "fixing our terrible trade deals," and giving "every parent the right to send their kids to the school of their choice." Washington is a "swamp of corruption," he added, where "political insiders" break the law "without consequence" and officials "put special interests above the national interest." The time has come to "cut our ties with the failed politicians of the past, and embrace a bright, new future for all of our people," Trump said. Read his entire op-ed at USA Today.
