“I AM YOUR VOICE," Donald Trump reportedly will say upon taking the stage tonight at the RNC. | Getty 9 boldest lines from Trump's prime-time speech The Republican nominee will scorch Clinton while presenting a gentler tone to America's downtrodden.

Donald Trump will present Hillary Clinton as a dangerous Pinocchio and himself as the compassionate voice and protector of America when he accepts the Republican Party’s nomination for president in a prime-time address Thursday evening.

Here are nine highlights of what the real estate mogul plans to say when he takes the stage at the Republican National Convention, according to a copy of the full text of his prepared remarks viewed by POLITICO:


1. Clinton is a puppet controlled by donors

“Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total control over everything she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.”

2. In fact, Obama regrets naming her secretary of state

“America is far less safe — and the world is far less stable — than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America’s foreign policy.

I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets. Her bad instincts and her bad judgment — something pointed out by Bernie Sanders — are what caused the disasters unfolding today.”

3. But Clinton’s legacy doesn’t have to be the legacy of America

“This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness.

“But Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy. The problems we face now — poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad — will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them. A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes.

“Tonight, I will share with you my plan of action for America.”

4. President Obama has divided this country, creating a more dangerous environment for all Americans

“In this race for the White House, I am the Law And Order candidate. The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment for everyone.

“This Administration has failed America’s inner cities. It’s failed them on education. It’s failed them on jobs. It’s failed them on crime. It’s failed them at every level.

“When I am President, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally, and protected equally.”

5. Trump is the voice of America

“I have visited the laid-off factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country,” Trump will say. “People who work hard but no longer have a voice.

“I AM YOUR VOICE.”

6. And he is the repair man to mend the nation’s wounds

“I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”

7. Trump is also the candidate of compassion

“We are going to be considerate and compassionate to everyone. But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens. My plan is the exact opposite of the radical and dangerous immigration policy of Hillary Clinton.”

8. And Trump is with you

“My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge. It reads: ‘I’m With Her.’ I choose to recite a different pledge.

“My pledge reads: ‘I’M WITH YOU – THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.’

“I am your voice.”

9. Tonight: truth; next week: spin, lies and myths

“It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.

“I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.

“So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths the Democrats are holding their convention next week.

“But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else.”
