"America Soaring"

Transcript

NARRATOR: Skilled craftsmen and trades people, and factory workers have seen the jobs they love shipped thousands of miles away. It doesn't have to be this way. We can turn it around. It will be American steel, just like the American steel that built the Empire State Building, that will fortify America's crumbling bridges. It will be American steel that rebuilds our inner cities, it will be American steel that sends our skyscraper soaring. It will be American hands, American workers that will make this country great again. We're going to be working again. We're going to have great jobs again. We're going to make America great again for everyone. Greater than ever before. Rebuilding America Now PAC is responsible for the content of this message.

"Make America Great Again."

Donald J. Trump (b. 1946) is a well-known businessman and television personality. He has never held government office or served in the military. He will be the first such candidate to ever serve as President. Announcing his candidacy in June 2015, he said “Our country is in terrible trouble. We don’t have victories any more,” and he promised to “build a great, great wall on our Southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for it.” Trump has run an unconventional campaign, relying on frequent coverage on television and a personal use of social media.
