VISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY.

FUTURE AND THE OTHER THAT IS
FOCUSED ON THE PAST.

BACKWARD.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING BACK.
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WE ALL HAVE
SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT
SEPARATES US AND WE CAN CHART A
NEW WAY FORWARD.
AND A VISION OF THAT INCLUDES
HAVING A PLAN, UNDERSTANDING THE
ASPIRATIONS, THE DREAMS, THE
HOPES, THE AMBITION OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHICH IS WHY I

ECONOMY, INVESTING IN SMALL
BUSINESSES, IN NEW FAMILIES, IN
WHAT WE CAN DO AROUND PROTECTING
SENIORS, WHAT WE CAN DO THAT IS
ABOUT GIVING HARD-WORKING FOLKS
A BREAK IN BRINGING DOWN THE
COST OF LIVING.

SUSTAINING AMERICA'S STANDING IN
THE WORLD AND ENSURING WE HAVE
THE RESPECT THAT WE SO RIGHTLY
DESERVE INCLUDING RESPECTING OUR
MILITARY AND ENSURING WE HAVE
THE MOST LETHAL FIGHTING FORCE
IN THE WORLD.
I WILL BE A PRESIDENT THAT WILL
PROTECT OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
AND FREEDOMS INCLUDING THE RIGHT
OF A WOMAN TO MAKE DECISIONS
ABOUT HER OWN BODY AND NOT HAVE
HER GOVERNMENT TELL HER WHAT TO
DO.
I'LL TELL YOU, I STARTED MY
CAREER AS A PROSECUTOR.
I WAS A D.A.
I WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL.
A UNITED STATES SENATOR.
AND NOW VICE PRESIDENT.
I'VE ONLY HAD ONE CLIENT.
THE PEOPLE HP .

PROSECUTOR I NEVER ASKED A
VICTIM OR A WITNESS ARE YOU A
REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRAT.
THE ONLY THING I EVER ASKED

20 YEARS TO BUILD BACK UP OUR
COUNTRY BY INVESTING RIGHT NOW

>> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, THANK
YOU.
PRESIDENT TRUMP?
>> SO IF YOU JUST STARTED BY
SAYING SHE'S GOING TO DO THIS,
SHE'S GOING TO DO THAT, SHE'S
GOING TO DO ALL THESE WONDERFUL
THINGS.
WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT?
SHE'S BEEN THERE FOR 3 1/2
YEARS.
THEY'VE HAD 3 1/2 YEARS TO FIX
THE BORDER.
THEY'VE HAD 3 1/2 YEARS TO
CREATE JOBS AND ALL THE THINGS
WE TALKED ABOUT.
WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT?
SHE SHOULD LEAVE RIGHT NOW, GO
DOWN TO THAT BEAUTIFUL WHITE
HOUSE, GO TO THE CAPITOL, GET
EVERYONE TOGETHER AND DO THE
THINGS YOU WANT TO DO.
BUT YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT.
AND YOU WON'T DO IT.
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN THINGS
THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T
BELIEVE IN.
YOU BELIEVE IN THINGS LIKE WE'RE
NOT GOING TO FRAC.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE FOSSIL
FUEL.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO -- THINGS
THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS
COUNTRY STRONG, WHETHER YOU LIKE
IT OR NOT.
GERMANY TRIED THAT AND WITHIN
ONE YEAR THEY WERE BACK TO
BUILDING NORMAL ENERGY PLANTS.
WE'RE NOT READY FOR IT.
WE CAN'T SACRIFICE OUR COUNTRY
FOR THE SAKE OF BAD VISION.
BUT I JUST ASK ONE SIMPLE
QUESTION.
WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT?
WE'RE A FAILING NATION.
WE'RE A NATION THAT'S IN SERIOUS
DECLINE.
WE'RE BEING LAUGHED AT ALL OVER
THE WORLD.
ALL OVER THE WORLD -- I KNOW THE
LEADERS VERY WELL.
THEY'RE COMING TO SEE ME.
THEY CALL ME.
WE'RE LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT
HAPPENED TO US AS A NATION.
WE'RE NOT A LEADER.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S
GOING ON.
WE HAVE WARS GOING ON IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
WE HAVE WARS GOING ON WITH
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE.
WE'RE GOING TO END UP IN A THIRD
WORLD WAR.
AND IT WILL BE A WAR LIKE NO
OTHER BECAUSE OF NUCLEAR
WEAPONS, THE POWER OF WEAPONRY.
I REBUILT OUR ENTIRE MILITARY.
SHE GAVE A LOT OF IT AWAY TO THE
TALIBAN.
SHE GAVE IT TO AFGHANISTAN.
WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO
OUR COUNTRY, AND MAYBE TOUGHEST
OF ALL IS ALLOWING MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY,
MANY OF THEM ARE CRIMINALS, AND
THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.
THE WORST PRESIDENT, THE WORST
VICE PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF
OUR COUNTRY.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU.
AND THAT IS OUR ABC NEWS
