Donald J. Trump Statement on Hurricane Matthew

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON HURRICANE MATTHEW

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the path of Hurricane Matthew, namely in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, and we encourage everyone to listen to their Governors and local emergency officials urging the evacuations of at-risk coastal communities. These warnings are very, very serious – if your home is in the path of the hurricane and you are being advised to leave, you need to do so right now. Nothing is more important than the safety of your family.

"I would also like to offer my thanks to the law enforcement, first responders and power crews making the necessary preparations for the storm and carrying out their plans to help our communities survive and recover in the aftermath.

"I also want to extend my personal condolences to those families in Haiti who lost loved ones as this storm tore through their island. The news reports that over a hundred people are feared dead saddens us all, and the United States should offer our assistance to help our island neighbors.

"Please stay safe." - Donald J. Trump

New Donald J. Trump 2016 TV Ad “Consumer Benefit”

NEW TV AD: “CONSUMER BENEFIT”
 
“What Does Electing Donald Trump President Mean For You?”

NEW YORK, NY – Today the Donald J. Trump for President campaign released a new television ad entitled “Consumer Benefit,” which highlights Mr. Trump’s comprehensive plan to lower childcare expenses, cut taxes and create jobs. The ad will air nationally and will be heavily rotated into battleground states.

“It’s no wonder the majority of small business owners like myself support Mr. Trump. He is the only candidate who has provided a substantial policy platform that creates jobs, cuts taxes and puts the economic well-being of Americans first. While his opponent has spent her career advocating for job-killing policies like Obamacare, Mr. Trump has been busy creating jobs and putting forth a clear vision for American success.” - Dr. Terry Neese, Founder of Terry Neese Personnel

Transcript for “Consumer Benefit”:
Audio    Sourcing
VO: What does electing Donald Trump president mean for you?
    
Donald Trump has a clear vision for how he will reduce the burden on working families, cut taxes, and create jobs. He remains the only candidate to have proposed both a tax plan and a comprehensive childcare plan.

Families making sixty thousand a year: You get a twenty percent tax rate reduction.
    
The top tax rate for someone earning $60,000 will go from 15 percent to 12 percent – a 20 percent tax rate reduction, enabling middle-class families to keep more of their hard-earned money.

Working moms: You get paid maternity leave    The Trump plan offers a crucial safety net for working mothers whose employers do not provide paid maternity leave. By recapturing fraud and improper payments in the unemployment insurance program, we can provide 6 weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit. This maternity leave will be paid straight out of the unemployment insurance fund and, again, this safety net will be completely paid for through savings within the program.

and an average $5,000 child care tax reduction.    The Trump childcare plan allows every parent or family in America – including adoptive parents, stay-at-home moms and foster parent guardians – to deduct their child care expenses from their income taxes.
Business owners: Your taxes get cut from thirty-five to fifteen percent so you can expand and create more jobs.
    
The Trump Plan will lower the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent, and eliminate the corporate alternative minimum tax. This rate is available to all businesses, both small and large, that want to retain the profits within the business.
Donald Trump. Prosperity for you.    
America: great again.    
 
DJT: I’m Donald Trump and I approve this message.
