Before I begin, I want to send a message to everyone who has been affected by Hurricane

Laura: Our hearts are with you.

The president will continue to support you every step of the way.

And just as Americans always do, the nation will come together to help you rebuild your

homes, businesses and communities -- stronger, and more resilient than ever before.

Four years ago, I introduced you to a builder, an entrepreneur, an outsider and the people's

nominee for president of the United States.

Tonight, I stand before you as the proud daughter of the people's president.

He is our commander-in-chief, champion of the American worker, defender of common sense

and our voice for the forgotten men and women of this country.

He is our president and my father, Donald J. Trump.

This evening, I want to tell you about the leader I know, and the moments that I wish

every American could see.

I want to tell you the story of the president who is fighting for you from dawn to midnight,

when the cameras have left, the microphones are off, and the decisions really count.

When Jared and I moved with our three children to Washington, we didn't exactly know what

we were in for.

But our kids loved it from the start.

My son Joseph promptly built grandpa a Lego replica of the White House.

The president still displays it on the mantel in the Oval Office and shows it to world leaders,

just so they know he has the greatest grandchildren on earth.

I agree.

Over the last 4 years we’ve learned a lot.

I've seen that in Washington, it's easy for politicians to survive if they silence their

convictions and skip the hard fights.

I couldn't believe that so many politicians actually prefer to complain about a problem,

rather than fix it.

I was shocked to see people leave major challenges unsolved, so they can blame the other side

and campaign on the same issue in the next election.

But Donald Trump did not come to Washington to win praise from the beltway elites.

Donald Trump came to Washington for one reason, and one reason alone: To Make America Great

Again!

My father has strong convictions.

He knows what he believes, and says what he thinks.

Whether you agree with him or not, you always know where he stands.

I recognize that my dad's communication style is not to everyone's taste.

And I know his tweets can feel a bit -- unfiltered.

But the results speak for themselves.

He is so unapologetic about his beliefs that he has caused me and countless Americans to

take a hard look at our own convictions, and ask ourselves, what do we stand for?

What kind of America do we want to leave for our children?

I am more certain than ever before that we want a future where our kids can believe in

American greatness.

We want a society where every child can live in a safe community and go to a great school

of their choice.

We want a culture where differences of opinions and debate are encouraged, not canceled; where

law enforcement is respected; where our country's rich diversity is celebrated; and where people

of all backgrounds, races, genders and creeds have the chance to achieve their God-given

potential.

This is the future that my father is working to build each day.

Building, after all, is what he is done his whole life.

He has admired and befriended construction workers on countless job sites.

But it has been a new and profound experience for him, and for me, to see these stoic machinists

and steelworkers come to him with tears in their eyes and thank him for being the only

person willing to go to the mat for them -- for their jobs, for their families and for their

futures.

To the hardworking men and women across America, and here tonight,

You are the reason my father fights with all his heart and all his might.

You are the reason he ran for president in the first place.

And you are the reason he's going to keep fighting for four more years.

I remember one evening in early February of 2018.

We were in the Oval Office, with my father's top economic advisors, and the president was

pushing to keep the promise he made to renegotiate the bad trade deals that had gutted millions

of middle-class jobs.

Most of his advisors argued that the economy was so strong following our historic tax and

regulatory cuts, that it didn't make sense to risk "rocking the boat."

After the meeting, as I walked with my father back to the Residence, he said, "You know,

the reason this has never been done before is because our leaders haven't had the guts.

When the economy is good, they settle for good, and when things are bad, they don't

have the will or ability, so they kick the can until it's someone else's problem."

He was right.

If my father didn't take on these fights, no one would.

In the months that followed, President Trump refused to settle for a good deal, he wanted

a great deal -- and ultimately, that's exactly what we got.

I remember each time he was updated on the progress of the new trade deal with Mexico

and Canada, he would say "Don't let down those dairy farmers I met in Wisconsin.

... I don't want them to like this deal, I want them to love it!"

Today, in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic, it's more clear than ever that our

president was absolutely correct to take on trade when he did -- and bring our jobs, factories,

and life-saving medicines back to the USA.

As our nation endures this grave trial, I pray for the families who are mourning the

loss of a loved one, for all those who are battling COVID-19, and for the first responders

and healthcare heroes who remain on the frontlines of this fight.

The grief, sorrow, and anxiety during this time is felt by all.

I've been with my father and seen the pain in his eyes when he receives updates on the

lives that have been stolen by this plague.

I have witnessed him make some of the most difficult decisions of his life.

I sat with him in the Oval Office as he stopped travel to Europe.

I watched him take the strongest, most inclusive economy in our lifetime; the lowest unemployment

in half a century, and the highest wage increase for working families in decades -- and close

it down to save American lives.

This is why our President rapidly mobilized the full force of government and the private

sector to produce ventilators within weeks -- to build the most robust testing system

in the world -- and to develop safe and effective treatments, and very soon a vaccine.

My father isn't deterred by defeatist thinkers.

The word "impossible" -- it only motivates him.

Donald Trump rejects the cynical notion that our greatest achievements are behind us -- he

believes that nothing is beyond our reach, and the best is yet to come.

I’ve seen all my life, how my dad believes in the potential of each individual.

Earlier this evening, we were all inspired by the incredible testimony of Alice Johnson

-- a great-grandmother who was sentenced to life in prison for a first-time, non-violent

drug offense.

I was with my father when he decided to commute Alice's life sentence.

Together, we watched Alice leave prison after nearly 22 years.

As she ran into the arms of her family, and they celebrated a joyful reunion, my father

was very quiet – I could see the emotion on his face.

After a long silence, he looked at me and said: "Imagine how many people there are just

like Alice."

From that point on, he became a voice for those unfairly silenced in our prison system.

President Trump rectified the disparities in the 1994 Biden crime bill that disproportionately

hurt African Americans.

Against all odds, he brought together Republicans and Democrats, and passed the most significant

Criminal Justice Reform of our generation -- and we're just getting started.

My father did not campaign on this issue.

He tackled this injustice because he has a deep compassion for those who have been treated

unfairly.

More than rhetoric and political prose, the ability to build consensus and achieve bipartisan

success will help heal our country's racial inequities and bring us forward -- together.

President Trump is advancing the American values of work and family.

Four years ago in Cleveland, I said that President Trump would deliver for working women.

Last year, over 70% of all new jobs were secured by women.

Four years ago, I told you my father would focus on making childcare affordable and accessible.

In President Trump's first term, we secured the largest-ever increase for childcare funding,

giving more than 800,000 low- income families great childcare at a cost they can afford.

As part of Republican tax cuts, in 2019 alone, our child tax credit put over $2,000 dollars

into the pockets of 40 million American families.

Democrat politicians recently introduced a plan to increase the child tax credit, yet

when I was fighting less than three years ago, at the president's direction, to get

Congress to double the child tax credit, not a single Democrat voted to pass the law -- we

got it done anyway!

Four years ago, I promised that President Trump would support mothers in the workforce.

In his first year in office, he signed into law the first-ever National Paid Leave Tax

Credit.

Today, 8 million more Americans have access to this benefit.

Four years ago, I said that Americans need an economy that permits people to rise again.

During President Trump's first three years in office, 72% of new jobs went to Americans

who had been OUT of the work force.

Four years ago, I told you I would fight alongside my father, and, four years later, here I am.

Many of the issues my father has championed are not historically Republican priorities

-- yet where Washington chooses sides, our president chooses common sense.

Where politicians choose party, our president chooses people.

Since the day he took the oath of office, I've watched my father take on the failed

policies of the past and do what no other leader has done before.

Recently, he took dramatically action to cut the cost of prescription drugs despite fielding

angry calls from the CEOs of every major pharmaceutical company.

Now, when we see an attack ad paid for by Big Pharma, my dad smiles and says to me,

"You know we're doing something right when they're hitting us so hard."

This spring, our President saw that American crops were going to waste because food supply

chains were disrupted by the virus.

He directed Secretary Perdue and me to find a way to get this nutritious food -- fresh

fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy -- to families most in need.

Within a matter of days, we launched the Farmers to Families Food Box Program, which has now

delivered over 100 million meals into the hands of American families.

To protect the most vulnerable among us, I've worked alongside the president as he signed

into law nine pieces of legislation to combat the evil of human trafficking.

've stood by my father's side at Dover Air Force Base as he has received our fallen heroes,

and each time it steeled his resolve to finally stop the endless foreign wars.

To change the paradigm in the Middle East, he took a fresh approach.

I heard foreign leaders beg him not to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, yet he

delivered on the promise also made -- and unfulfilled -- by past presidents, because

my father knew that it was the right thing to do.

Defying all expectations, just weeks ago, he re-wrote history by making a peace agreement

in the Middle East -- the biggest breakthrough in a quarter century.

For the first time in a long time, we have a president who has called out Washington's

hypocrisy and they hate him for it.

Dad, people attack you for being unconventional, but I love you for being real, and I respect

you for being effective.

Our President refuses to surrender his beliefs to score points with the political elite.

To my father, you are the elite.

You are the only people he cares about scoring points with.

If these problems were easy to solve, previous presidents would have done so.

But you don't achieve different results by doing things the same way.

Washington has not changed Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has changed Washington.

America doesn't need another empty vessel who will do whatever the media and the fringe

of his party demands.

Now more than ever, America needs four more years of a Warrior in the White House.

在开始之前，我想向 所有受飓风劳拉影响的人发送信息

：我们的心与你们同在。

总统将继续支持你的 每一步。

就像美国人一直做的那样，国家 将团结起来帮助你们重建

家园、企业和社区—— 比以往任何时候都更强大、更有弹性。

四年前，我向你介绍了一位建筑商、 一位企业家、一位局外人以及

美国总统的人民提名人。

今晚，我作为人民总统骄傲的女儿站在你们面前 。

他是我们的总司令、 美国工人的拥护者、常识的捍卫者，

也是我们为这个国家被遗忘的男女发声的人 。

他是我们的总统，也是我的父亲唐纳德· J·特朗普。

今晚，我想告诉你 我认识的这位领导人，以及我希望

每个美国人都能看到的时刻。

我想告诉你总统 从黎明到午夜为你而战的故事，

当相机离开， 麦克风关闭，决定真的很重要。

当 Jared 和我带着我们的三个孩子 搬到华盛顿时，我们并不完全知道

我们在做什么。

但我们的孩子从一开始就喜欢它。

我儿子约瑟夫迅速给爷爷搭建了一个白宫的乐高 复制品。

总统仍然将它展示 在椭圆形办公室的壁炉架上，并展示给世界领导人，

让他们知道他有地球上最伟大的孙子孙女 。

我同意。

在过去的 4 年里，我们学到了很多东西。

我在华盛顿看到， 如果政客们沉默自己的

信念并跳过艰苦的斗争，他们很容易生存。

我无法相信这么多政客 实际上更愿意抱怨一个问题，

而不是解决它。

我很震惊地看到人们没有解决重大挑战 ，因此他们可以

在下次选举中将同一问题归咎于另一方和竞选活动 。

但唐纳德特朗普来华盛顿并不是 为了赢得环城公路精英的赞誉。

唐纳德特朗普来到华盛顿有一个原因， 而且只有一个原因：让美国

再次伟大！

我父亲有坚定的信念。

他知道他相信什么，并说出他的 想法。

不管你是否同意他，你总是 知道他的立场。

我认识到我父亲的沟通方式 并不符合每个人的口味。

我知道他的推文会让人感觉有点——未经过滤。

但结果不言自明。

他对自己的信念毫无歉意，以至于 他让我和无数美国人

认真审视我们自己的信念，并 问自己，我们代表什么？

我们想为我们的孩子留下什么样的美国？

我比以往任何时候都更加确定，我们 想要一个我们的孩子可以相信

美国伟大的未来。

我们想要一个让每个孩子都能生活 在安全社区并进入他们选择的好学校

的社会。

我们想要一种 鼓励而不是取消意见分歧和辩论的文化； 在

尊重执法的地方； 庆祝我们国家 丰富的多样性的地方； 在这里

，不同背景、种族、性别和信仰的 人们都有机会发挥上帝赋予的

潜力。

这是我父亲每天都在 努力建设的未来。

毕竟，建筑是他一生都在做的事情 。

他在无数工作现场钦佩并结识了建筑 工人。

但 对他和对我来说，看到这些坚忍的机械师

和钢铁工人眼含泪水来到他面前 ，感谢他是

唯一愿意为他们服务的人，这对他和我来说都是一种全新而深刻的体验——因为 他们的工作，他们的家庭和他们的

未来。

对于全美国辛勤工作的男女， 今晚在这里，

你们是我父亲全心全意战斗的原因 。

你是他最初竞选总统 的原因。

而你是他继续 战斗四年的原因。

我记得 2018 年 2 月初的一个晚上 。

我们在椭圆形办公室，和我父亲的 高级经济顾问一起，总统

正在努力兑现他做出的承诺，重新谈判 那些摧毁了数百万中产阶级工作的糟糕贸易协议

.

他的大多数顾问认为，在 我们历史性的减税和

监管削减之后，经济如此强劲， 以至于冒险“摇摆不定”是没有意义的。

会议结束后，我和父亲一起 走回官邸，他说：“你知道

，以前从来没有这样做过， 是因为我们的领导没有胆量

。经济好的时候，他们就安于现状。” 好，不好的时候，他们

没有意志和能力，所以他们踢罐子， 直到这是别人的问题。”

他是对的。

如果我父亲不参加这些战斗， 没有人会。

在接下来的几个月里，特朗普总统 拒绝接受一笔好交易，他想要

一笔大交易——最终，这 正是我们得到的。

我记得每次他更新 与墨西哥和加拿大的新贸易协议的进展时

，他都会说“不要让 我在威斯康星州遇到的那些奶农失望

......我不希望他们喜欢这个协议 ，我 希望他们喜欢它！”

今天，在一场史无前例的全球 大流行中，比以往任何时候都更加清楚的是，我们的

总统 在他这样做的时候进行贸易是绝对正确的——并将我们的工作、工厂

和拯救生命的药物带回美国。

在我们的国家经受着这场严峻的考验之际，我 为那些为失去亲人而哀悼的家庭

、为所有 与 COVID-19 作斗争的

人以及仍然在这场战斗前线的急救人员和医疗保健英雄祈祷 。

这段时间的悲伤、悲伤和焦虑， 是所有人都能感受到的。

我一直和我父亲在一起， 当他收到关于这场瘟疫夺走生命的最新消息时，我看到了他眼中的痛苦

。

我目睹了他做出了一些 他一生中最艰难的决定。

当他停止去欧洲旅行时，我和他坐在椭圆形办公室 。

我看着他拿下我们有生以来最强大、最具包容性的 经济； 半个世纪以来最低的

失业率，以及 几十年来工薪家庭的最高工资增长——

关闭它以挽救美国人的生命。

这就是为什么我们的总统迅速动员 政府和私营部门的全部力量

在几周内生产呼吸机 ——以建立世界上最强大的检测

系统——并开发安全有效的 治疗方法，并很快开发出疫苗。

我父亲并没有被失败主义思想家吓倒。

“不可能”这个词——它只会激励 他。

唐纳德·特朗普拒绝那种愤世嫉俗的观点，即 我们最伟大的成就已经过去——他

相信没有什么是我们无法企 及的，最好的还在后头。

我一生都看到了，我父亲是如何相信 每个人的潜力的。

今晚早些时候，我们都 受到了爱丽丝约翰逊令人难以置信的证词的启发

——她是一位曾祖母，她首次因非暴力毒品犯罪而被判处 终身监禁

。

当我父亲决定为爱丽丝的无期徒刑减刑时，我和他 在一起。

我们一起看着爱丽丝在 将近 22 年后离开监狱。

当她跑进家人的怀抱中， 他们庆祝一个快乐的团聚时，我父亲

很安静——我能看到 他脸上的情绪。

沉默了许久，他看着我 说：“想象一下，

像爱丽丝一样的人有多少。”

从那时起，他成为 我们监狱系统中那些不公平地沉默的人的代言人。

特朗普总统纠正 了 1994 年拜登犯罪法案中对

非裔美国人造成严重伤害的差异。

千方百计，他召集了共和党人 和民主党人，并通过

了我们这一代最重要的刑事司法改革 ——我们才刚刚开始。

我父亲没有在这个问题上竞选。

他解决了这种不公正现象，因为他 对那些受到不公平对待的人

深表同情。

不仅仅是言辞和政治散文， 建立共识和取得两党

成功的能力将有助于治愈我们国家的种族 不平等，让我们一起前进。

特朗普总统正在推进美国 的工作和家庭价值观。

四年前在克利夫兰，我说 特朗普总统将为职业女性提供服务。

去年，超过 70% 的新工作 由女性获得。

四年前，我告诉过你，我父亲将 专注于让儿童保育变得负担得起且易于获得。

在特朗普总统的第一任期内，我们获得 了有史以来最大的儿童保育资金增长，

为超过 800,000 个低收入家庭 提供了他们负担得起的优质儿童保育服务。

作为共和党减税措施的一部分，仅在 2019 年， 我们的儿童税收抵免就

为 4000 万美国家庭提供了超过 2000 美元的收入。

民主党政客最近提出了 一项增加儿童税收抵免的计划，然而

当我不到三 年前在总统的指示下争取让

国会将儿童税收抵免增加一倍时，没有 一个民主党人投票通过这项法律——

无论如何我们都完成了！

四年前，我承诺 特朗普总统将支持职场妈妈。

在他上任的第一年，他 签署了有史以来第一个国家带薪休假税收

抵免的法律。

今天，又有 800 万美国人可以 享受这项福利。

四年前，我说过美国人需要 一个允许人们再次崛起的经济。

在特朗普总统上任的前 三年，72% 的新工作流向

了失业的美国人。

四年前，我告诉过你我会和父亲并肩作战 ，四年后，我在这里。

我父亲支持的许多问题 在历史上都不是共和党的优先事项

——但在华盛顿选择立场的地方，我们的 总统选择了常识。

政客选择政党，我们的总统 选择人民。

从他宣誓就职的那一天起， 我就目睹了我父亲接受过去失败的

政策，并做了其他 领导人从未做过的事情。

最近，尽管接到了各大制药公司首席执行官的愤怒电话，他还是采取了显着的行动来降低 处方药的成本

。

现在，当我们看到大型制药公司支付的攻击广告时 ，我父亲微笑着对我说：

“当他们如此猛烈地打击我们时，你知道我们正在做正确的事情 。”

今年春天，我们的总统看到美国的 农作物将被浪费，因为食品供应

链被病毒破坏了。

他指示珀杜部长和我想 办法将这种营养丰富的食物——新鲜

水果、蔬菜、肉类和奶制品——提供给最需要帮助的家庭 。

几天之内，我们启动了 农民家庭食品盒计划，该计划现已

向美国家庭提供了超过 1 亿份 餐食。

为了保护我们当中最脆弱的人，我 与总统一起工作，他签署

了九项立法，以打击 人口贩运的邪恶。

在多佛空军基地，我父亲一直站在我父亲的身边，迎接 我们阵亡的英雄

，每一次都坚定了他最终 停止无休止的对外战争的决心。

为了改变中东的范式， 他采取了新的方法。

我听到外国领导人恳求他不要 将美国大使馆搬到耶路撒冷，但他

兑现了前任总统也做出的承诺——但 没有兑现——因为

我父亲知道这是正确 的做法。

就在几周前，他出乎所有人的意料， 通过在中东达成和平协议改写了历史

——这是 25 年来最大的 突破。

很长一段时间以来，我们第一次 有一位总统指责华盛顿的

虚伪，他们因此恨他。

爸爸，人们因为你不守规矩而攻击你， 但我爱你的真实，我尊重

你的有效。

我们的总统拒绝放弃他的信仰 来赢得政治精英的分数。

对我父亲来说，你是精英。

你是他唯一关心得分的人 。

如果这些问题很容易解决，以前的 总统就会这样做。

但是以同样的方式做事并不会获得不同的结果 。

华盛顿并没有改变唐纳德·特朗普。

唐纳德特朗普改变了华盛顿。

美国不需要另一艘 空船来满足媒体和

政党边缘的要求。

现在，美国比以往任何时候都更需要 在白宫担任勇士四年。
