Trump's 'Gettysburg address' makes closing argument for choosing him and unveils first-100-days agenda as he promises 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime'

'First 100 days' agenda speech formalized his mainstay political pledges with promises of legislation and executive orders

Called it a 'Contract with the American Voter,' modeling it after the 1994 Republican 'Contract with America'

Trump touted 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime' and made his final substantive pitch to frame the campaign's last two weeks Told an audience of about 300 invited guests that he will 'drain the swamp' in Washington

Borrowed a line from Abraham Lincoln's 1863 speech, saying he would replace D.C. elites 'with a new government of, by and for the people.'

A Trump aide said the Civil War battlefield site is appropriate because 'Gettysburg was the moment when the war turned'

The candidate briefly visited the site of the famed Civil War battle after his speech

Donald Trump planted a flag on hallowed ground Saturday morning by laying out near the Gettysburg National Battlefield what he would do in his first 100 days as President of the United States. Touting 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime,' Trump told an audience of about 300 invited guests that he will 'drain the swamp' in Washington, replacing the current government 'with a new government of, by and for the people.'

So Trump starts off in the first 4 or 5 weeks winning 3 big battles without even firing a shot!!

If you don't think the Democrats will filibuster two and three then you're kidding yourself.
