TRUMPS ANSWER TO MR.

KHAN

Mr. Trump was asked about Mr. Khans comments during the DNC, and he
replied that he wished him well.
Many in the media reported falsely that Trump had compared his
sacrifices to Mr. Khans son which is completely false and the transcripts
show that to be true. (See below).
Mr. Trump wants to end radical Islamic terror, so that our soldiers like Mr.
Khans son will be safe.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT


Trump Campaign Releases Full Transcript of Khizr Khan Answer Ahead of Mr. Trumps ABC
This Week Sunday Interview With George Stephanopoulos;
Trump Calls Captain Humayun Khan A Hero, Urges Vigilance In Defeating Radical Islamic
Terrorism And Criticizes Hillary Clintons Role In Destabilizing The Middle East
(New York) The Trump for President campaign today released the full transcript of Donald
J. Trumps response to a pre-taped ABC This Week question from George Stephanopoulos
referencing criticism from Khizr Khan.
As shown in the full transcript, Mr. Trump doesnt compare his sacrifices to anybody elses,
and in fact praises Mr. Khan and wishes him well.
Trump also released a statement Saturday praising Mr. Khans son, Captain Humayun
Khan, who was killed serving in Iraq:
Captain Humayun Khan was a hero to our country and we should honor all who have made
the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe. The real problem here are the radical Islamic
terrorists who killed him, and the efforts of these radicals to enter our country to do us further
harm. Given the state of the world today, we have to know everything about those looking to
enter our country, and given the state of chaos in some of these countries, that is impossible.
"Further, Hillary Clinton should be held accountable for her role in destabilizing the Middle
East. She voted to send the United States to war against Iraq, helped lead the disastrous
withdrawal of American troops years later that created the vacuum allowing the rise of ISIS,
and has never met a regime change she didnt like not to mention her invasion of Libya and
her abandonment of American personnel in Benghazi. The loss of these lives in Libya is
directly traceable to Clinton, but their families tesimonials were rejected by the media.
Clintons actions have been reckless and have directly led to the loss of American lives. And
her extreme immigration policies, as also laid out by American victims in Cleveland, will
cause the preventable deaths of countless more -- while putting all residents, from all places,
at greater risk of terrorism.

She is not qualified to serve as Commander in Chief.


Donald J. Trump

FULL ANSWER TRANSCRIPT:


STEPHANOPOULOS:
I don't know if you saw this speech, but there was a man named Khizr Khan speaking at the
Democratic Convention last night. His son, Captain Humayun Khan, was killed serving in
Iraq. And he had some very tough questions for you. He said you wouldn't have even let his
son in America.
TRUMP:
He doesn't know. He doesn't know that. I saw him. He was, you know, very emotional and
probably looked like a nice guy to me. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing
there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to
say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And it
looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that. And personally, I watched
him. I wish him the best of luck.
STEPHANOPOULOS:
What would you say to that father?
TRUMP:
Well, I'd say we've had a lot of problems with radical Islamic terrorism. That's what I'd say.
We have a lot of problems, where you look at San Bernardino. You look at Orlando. You look
at the World Trade Center. You look at so many different things.
You look at what happened to the priest over the weekend in Paris, where his throat was cut,
85-year-old, beloved Catholic priest. You look at what happened in Nice, France, a couple of
weeks ago. I'd say youve got to take a look at that, because something is going on. And it's
not good.
STEPHANOPOULOS:
He said you have sacrificed nothing and no one.
TRUMP:
Well, that sounds - who wrote that? Did Hillary's scriptwriters write it? Because everybody
that went out there, we also had John Allen who failed with ISIS. I mean, he was a general,
Allen, General Allen. He went out. And he was ranting and raving. And then I read a report.
He was in there for a number of months. And he failed with ISIS.
STEPHANOPOULOS:
You saw Hillary say last night, you don't know more than the generals.
TRUMP:
Well, I'll tell you, the generals aren't doing so well right now. Now, I have a feeling it may be
Obama's fault. But if you look at ISISGeneral McArthur and General Patton, they're

spinning in their graves. The generals certainly aren't doing very well right now. And General
Allen, after I saw he was on ranting and raving about me, who he never met, I checked up.
Guess what. They weren't so happy with him. He didn't beat ISIS. He didn't beat ISIS. He
didn't do even well with ISIS.
STEPHANOPOULOS:
How would you answer that father? What sacrifice have you made for your country?
TRUMP:
I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and
thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've done, I've had
tremendous success. I think I've done a lot.
STEPHANOPOULOS:
Those are sacrifices?
TRUMP:
Oh, sure. I think they're sacrifices. I think when I can employ thousands and thousands of
people, take care of their education, take care of so many things, even in military. I mean, I
was very responsible, along with a group of people, for getting the Vietnam Memorial built in
downtown Manhattan, which to this day people thank me for.

RUSSIA TALKING POINTS


The Obama-Clinton Foreign Policy Unleashed Russian Aggression

Hillary Clinton's Russia Reset was a spectacular failure. Russia does not
respect us, and our weakness has invited aggression. Hillarys Russia
reset failed just like her Asia Pivot, just like her war in Libya, just like her
handling of Iraq and Syria. One failure after another after another.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly spoken out against Russian aggression,
whether it is in Crimea or anywhere else, and said he would restore
respect for the United States.
Hillary Clintons policy with Russia was focused on enriching the Clinton
Foundation, not advancing the security of the United States.
Clinton approved the deal to allow American uranium reserves to be sold
to the Russians at the financial benefit of her Clinton Foundation donors.
As a reward for this action a Kremlin-backed investment bank paid Bill
Clinton $500,000 for a speech in Moscow, after which Putin personally
called and thanked Bill.
Hillary Clinton enabled foreign espionage by putting her email on a
private server to cover her shady financial dealings -- then she deleted
30,000 emails, over 50% of all her emails, to obstruct justice.
Now that the Hillary Camp has essentially conceded she deleted national
security emails, some, like Charles Krauthammer, have suggested this

could be considered criminal obstruction of justice by the former


Secretary of State.
Clinton Treated The State Department Like Her Own Personal Hedge
Fund

Clinton ran the State Department like a personal hedge fund.


Bill Clinton was paid $8 million in speaking fees from companies, groups,
and foreign governments that had business before the State Department
while Hillary was in charge.
Fifteen of these companies had donated between $5 and $15 million to
the Clinton Foundation.
Many of these actors benefitted from the actions of the State
Department.

DNC EMAIL HACK


The Democrat National Committees Email Leak

While the hack of the Democrat National Committee is worrisome to


many Americans concerned with our nations cyber security, what is
concerning to Democrats is the content of the emails.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz disregard for the voice of the voters is a sad
prospect for a party that supposedly promotes greater voter access.
While the Democrats grapple with the anointed pick of Hillary Clinton,
they are now forced to deal with a pro-TPP, pro-Wall Street, candidate
who has been under FBI criminal investigation.
Sanders voters rightfully are furious, and will be more than welcome to
join the Trump campaign to change this rigged system and Make
America Great Again

DNC TALKING POINTS


Hillary Clintons DNC Acceptance Speech

Hillary Clinton doubled down on her embrace of Obamas third term at a


time when 70% of the American people believe our country is going in
the wrong direction.
There were no mentions of radical Islamic terrorism, no mentions of
stopping bad trade deals like TPP, no mentions of securing our border,
and no mentions of getting government out of the way so our economy
can create jobs.

To tell you just how flawed and unpopular a candidate Hillary Clinton is,
even the New York Times headline said her new plan was to ask not for
voters trust, but for faith in her competence. Her competence. From a
Secretary of State who kept classified and top secret information on her
unsecure home server!
The reason Donald Trump is so well-positioned in this race is because
hes the only candidate who recognizes the desire of voters to break up
the rigged system in Washington.

Democrat National Conventions Disconnect From Reality

The Democrats have promoted a backwards agenda from start to finish


of this convention.
From having 61 speakers ignore ISIS on day one, to nominating the most
dishonest and corrupt candidate in American history on the last day. The
DNC has been a embarrassment to Americans.
The rigged primary that shut out the grassroots Sanders supporters gave
way to the rigged convention which shut out Sanders supporters from
voting, to silencing them from voicing displeasure with Clinton, to
eventually shutting them out of the arena.
Overall the reviews on the DNC and RNC have come in, and while the
Democrat Convention has been described as unruly, chaotic, and a
logistical nightmare. The Republican Convention has been lauded for its
professionalism, safety, showmanship and its ability to voice solutions to
the problems facing our nation.
