Our email newsletter offers a synopsis of the days event. Tonight, President Trump will accept the publican partys nomination. Be first nonpolitician to nominated since dwight eisenhower. His acceptance speech was on the final day of the rnc in cleveland. Togive a very warm welcome ivanka trump. [applause] ivanka good evening. Thank you. One year ago, i introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. Through hisay and he sheer force of will, sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider and he prepared he prevailed against 16 very talented competitors. Year, donald a trump has been the peoples champion. Peopleshe is the nominee. My fellowof millennials, i do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat. More than party affiliation, i vote aced on what i believe is right for my family and country. Sometimes, it is a tough choice. That is not the case this time. I am here to tell you that this is the moment and donald trump americaerson to make great again. Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades is only going to come from outside the system. And its only going to come from a man whos spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries got tough and they were tough, he did what any great leader does. He dug deeper, worked harder, got better, and became stronger. [applause] i have seen him fight for his family. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight for his company. And now, i am seeing him fight for our country. Its been the story of his life and more recently the spirit of his campaign. Its also a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all. When this party and better still this country knows what it is like to win again. [applause] if its possible to be famous and yet not really well known, that describes the father who raised me. In the same office in trump tower, where we now work together, i remember playing on the floor by my fathers desk, constructing miniature buildings with legos and erector sets, while he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us that theres nothing that we cannot accomplish, if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic. [applause] one of my fathers greatest talents is the ability to see potential in people, before they see it in themselves. It was like that for us to o growing up. He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort. And, like him, we each had a responsibility to work, not just for ourselves but for the betterment of the world around us. Over the years, on too many occasions to count, i saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper about people whom he had never met, who were facing some injustice or hardship. Hed write a note to his assistant, in a signature black felt tip pen, and request that the person be found and invited to trump tower to meet with him. He would talk to them and then draw upon his Extensive Network to find them a job or get them a break. And they would leave his office, as people so often do after having been with donald trump, feeling that life could be great again. [applause] throughout my entire life, i have witnessed his empathy and generosity towards other, especially those who are suffering. It is just his way of being in your corner when youre down. My father not only has the strength and ability necessary to be our next president , but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs. [applause] my father has a sense of fairness that touches every conviction hes hold. I worked along side of him for now more than a decade now at the Trump Organization and ive seen how he operates as a leader. Making important decisions that shape careers and that change lives. Ive learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side. When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies. Competence in the Building Trades is easy to spot and incompetence is impossible to hide. [applause] these sites are also incredible melting pots, gathering people from all walks of life and uniting them to work towards a single mission. There have always been men of all background and ethnicities on my fathers job sites. And long before it was common place, you also saw women. applause my father values [applause] my father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period. Words and promises, no matter visionary they sound will only get you so far. In our business, youre not a builder, unless youve got a building to show for it, or in my fathers case, city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve Great Success in a single industry. My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaire executives dont usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception. On every one of his projects, youll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians, hell ask them for their feedback, if they think something should be done differently, or could be done better. When donald trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort and excellence. [applause] this has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization. At my fathers company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. [applause] women represent 46 percent of the total u. S. Labor force, and 40 percent of american households have female primary breadwinners. In 2014, women made 83 cents for every dollar made by a man. Single women without children earn 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man, whereas married mothers made only 77 cents. As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage discrepancy in this country, motherhood is. As president , my father will change the labor laws that were put into place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce. And he will focus on making Quality Childcare affordable and accessible for all. As a mother myself, of three young children, i know how hard it is to work while raising a family. And i also know that im far more fortunate than most. American families need relief. Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm. Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career. [applause] he will fight for equal pay for equal work, and i will fight for this too, right along side of him. [applause] americans today need an economy that permits people to rise again. A Trump Presidency will turn the economy around and restore the Great American tradition of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of the generation that came before. In donald trump, you have a candidate who knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen. When my father says that he will build a tower, keep an eye on the skyline. Floor by floor a soaring structure will appear, usually recordsetting in its height and iconic in its design. Real people are hired to do real work. Vision becomes reality. When my father says that he will make America Great again, he will deliver. [applause] we have a chance this year, to reclaim our heritage as a country that dreams big and makes the impossible happen. Fortunately, donald trump is incapable of thinking small. When i was a child, my father always told me, ivanka if youre going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. As president , my father will take on the bold and worthy fights. He will be unafraid to set lofty goals and he will be relentless in his determination to achieve them. To people all over america, i say, when you have my father in your corner, you will never again have to worry about being let down. He will fight for you all the time, all the way, every time. [applause] maybe its the developer in him, but donald trump cannot stand to see empty main streets and boarded up factories. He cant bear the injustice of College Graduates who are crippled by student debt, and mothers who cant afford of the childcare required to return to work to better the lives of their families. Other politicians see these hardships, see the unfairness of it all, and they say i feel for you. Only my father will say, ill fight for you. [applause] the hard working men and women of this country identify with my father. He is tough and he is persevering. He is honest and he is real. Hes an optimist and hes a relentless believer in america and all of her potential. He loves his family and he loves his country with his heart and his soul. Politicians ask to be judged by their promises, not their results. I ask you to judge my father by his results. Judge his values by those hes instilled in his children. Judge his competency by the towers hes built, the companies hes founded, and the tens of thousands of jobs hes created. He is the single most qualified serve as chief executive of an 18 trillion economy. My father will call upon the best and brightest people from all spheres of industry and both side of the aisle. A new set of thinkers, to face our countries existing and future problems with fresh perspective and brave new solutions. Come january 17, all things will be possible again. We can hope and dream and think big again. No one has more faith in the American People than my father. He will be your greatest, your truest and your most loyal champion. applause this is the fighter, [applause] this is the fighter, the doer that you have chosen as your nominee, in ways no one expected, this moment in the life of our country has defined a mission and given it to an extraordinary man. He is ready to see it all the way through, to speak to every man and every woman, of every background, in every part of this great country. To earn your trust and to earn your vote. He earned that and much more from me a long time ago. Ive loved and respected him, my entire life. And i could not be more proud tonight, to present to you and to all of america, my father and our next president , donald j. Trump. [applause] pres. Trump 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. [applause] usa, usa, usa, usa usa]chanting pres. Trump who would have believed that when we started this journey on june 16, last year, we 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 it . 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. [applause] our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. The attacks on our police, and the terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of life. Any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. [applause] 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. The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon and i mean very soon come to an end. [applause] beginning on january 20th 2017, safety will be restored. The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. [applause] so if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefullycrafted 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. [applause] these are the facts decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administrations rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17 in americas fifty largest cities. Thats the largest increase in 25 years. In our nations capital, killings have risen by 50 . They are up nearly 60 in nearby baltimore. In the president s hometown of chicago, more than 2,000 people have been the victims of shootings this year alone. And almost 4,000 have been killed in the chicago area since he took office. [booing] 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. [booing] pres. Trump the number of new illegal immigrant families who have crossed the border so far this year already exceeds the entire total of 2015. They are being released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for the impact on Public Safety or resources. Chanting] pres. Trump one such bordercrosser was released and made his way to nebraska. There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named sarah root. She was 21 years old and was killed the day after graduating from college with a 4. 0 grade point average. Her killer was then released a second time, and he is now a fugitive from the law. Ive met sarahs beautiful family. But to this administration, their amazing daughter was just one more American Life that wasnt 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 four in 10 africanamerican children are living in poverty, while 58 of africanamerican youth are now not employed. 2 million more latinos are in poverty today than when the president took his oath of office 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 is 16 years ago. Our trade deficit in goods reached think of this our trade deficit is 800 billion dollars. Think of that. 800 billion last year alone. We will fix that. [applause] pres. Trump the budget is no better. President obama has almost doubled our National Debt to more than 19 trillion, and growing. Yet, what do we have to show for it . Our roads and bridges are falling apart, our airports are in 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 have 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 gunpoint. This was just prior to the signing of the iran deal, which gave back to iran 150 billion and gave us absolutely nothing. Boo 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 american 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 americas foreign policy. Boo lock her up lock her up lock her up led defeat her in november. [cheering] i am certain it is a decision he truly regrets. Her bad instincts and her bad judgment, something pointed out by Bernie Sanders are what caused the disasters unfolding today. Lets review the record. [laughter] in 2009, prehillary, isis was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Each of was peaceful. Iraq was seen a big production and violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Serial 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 engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that 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 and terrorism and weakness. Boo but Hillary Clintons legacy does not have to be americas 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. A change in leadership is required to produce a change in outcomes. [cheering] tonight, i will share with you for action for america. The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponents, is that our plan will put america first. [cheering] americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. [cheering] 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. [cheering]
