Trump’s Closing Arguments: Why You Should Vote For Me

Republican presidential nominee Donald J Trump made his closing arguments for being elected President of the United States on USA Today.

Opposition to Obamacare has been a significant feature of Trump’s campaign. He has repeatedly expressed his resolve to repeal the law if he is voted to power.

Next, Trump referred to existing trade deals. He said he will renegotiate the NAFTA and China deals, which he says have “killed American jobs and crushed American incomes...and deindustrialized the United States.”

Trump then expressed his goal to drain the “swamp of corruption” in Washington. He said political insiders have been repeatedly allowed to break the law and not held accountable, and also that government officials have repeatedly pushed special interests higher over national interests.

However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation gave Clinton the clean chit in the early hours of 7 November (IST). The agency stood by its earlier decision that no criminality is involved in the case. Trump’s op-ed had, however, been published before FBI’s revelation.

Trump then wrote about bringing in a new beginning for America by cutting “our ties with the failed politicians of the past.” Significantly, he brought up his “Contract with the American Voter”, his 100-day action plan to clean up corruption and bring change to Washington.

Trump unveiled his “contract” to the American public in Gettysburg in the third week of October.

Trump’s official website says that if he gets elected, his “administration will pursue six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC.”

Back to the op-ed. Trump then compared his tough stance on immigration to Clinton’s liberal position.

He vowed to take the US “government back from the special interests”, closing his argument with his campaign tagline, “Make America Great Again.”
