LAST STAND
Trump makes his ‘c sing a gumen s’ Says he p ans sue g pe accuse s.
Donald Trump in historic Gettysburg, Pa., yesterday drew out his battle plan for the first 100 days of his presidency while taking shots at Hillary Clinton, the media and the 11 women who have accused him of sexual harassment.
Donald Trump couldn’t resist the urge to launch cancannonballs at familiar foes during his Gettysburg adaddress Saturday. He vowed to sue the women who accused him of sexual miscondduct, slammed the media, called Hillary Clinton a “criminal’’ and mamade more claims about a “rigrigged’’ electoral system whiwhich he said includes an armarmy of zombie voters — all iin a 15-minute airing of his grievances before beginning his prepared speech.
Speaking of his female accusers, he said, “All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign.’’
“Total fabrication,” he said, dismissing all their charges. “The events never happened. Never.”
Jessica Leeds, one of Trump’s 11 accusers, declared to The Post, “I’ve said all I’m going to say.’’
And later, in a Cleveland speech, he insisted he’s not worried that their accusations will cost him female voters.
“We’re gonna do so well with the women, it’s crazy,’’ he predicted. “Wait ’til those numbers come out on [Nov. 8].’’
He called attention to hot-pink “Women for Trump’’ placards that were handed out to attendees.
“I have to tell you, I love those pink . . . ‘ Women for Trump.’ Those are my favorite,’’ he said.
In his Gettysburg speech, Trump complained that “corrupt” media is promoting false tales to make him look “as bad and dangerous as possible.
“A simple phone call . . . gets them wall-to-wall coverage with virtually no fact-checking whatsoever,” he charged — and said, without citing evidence, that “it was probably the [Democratic National Committee] and the Clinton campaign that put forward these liars.’’
He took another swipe at his opponent, saying, “Hillary Clinton should have been precluded from running for the presidency of the United States, but the FBI and Justice Department covered up her crimes, including lying to the FBI and to Congress.
“Hillary is allowed to run despite having broken so many laws on so many different occasions,” he said.
To make his case that the election is being rigged, he cited a 2012 Pew Center report that said “24 million registrations are either invalid or significantly inaccurate.” He added, “There are 1.8 million dead people that are registered to vote.
“And some of them are voting. You wonder how that happens.’’
Trump said hidden-camera videos released this past week implicated Democratic campaign workers in violence that broke out at some of his rallies earlier this year.
“We just learned they were caused by paid DNC and Clinton campaign operatives,” he said.
Donald Trump delivered his “closing argument” to the presidential election in historic Gettysburg, Pa., on Saturday, invoking Abraham Lincoln as he vowed to unite a divided country and set it on course with a series of policies he intends to put in place during his first 100 days in office.
The populist wish list — a push to set a presidential, policy-driven tone for his campaign’s final 17 days — included tax cuts, term limits, school choice and regulatory reform in a speech he called “a contract between Donald J. Trump and the American voter.”
“Change has to come from outside our very broken system,” said Trump, who lags behind Hillary Clinton in most national polls and ended another bruising week during which he refused to say he would accept the election results.
Pledging to “drain the swamp” of Washington, DC, he said he would fight for a constitutional amendment to limit congressional terms and to trim the fat from the federal bureaucracy.
“For every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be elimi- nated,” he told a crowd of about 500 in a ballroom at the Eisenhower Hotel and Conference Center.
Trump also said he would bar White House and congressional employees from taking lobbying jobs for five years after leaving government service and would freeze federal hiring.
A seven-point list of economic promises included his stump lines on renegotiating NAFTA and labeling China a currency manipulator and a new pledge to pull billions of dollars for UN climate-change efforts.
“My economic plan will create at least 25 million jobs in one decade,” he said.
He touted tax relief, promising middle-class families with two children a 35 percent tax cut and vowing to reduce corporate taxes from 35 percent to 15 percent.
He also said he would thwart big media mergers, like the deal for AT&T to buy Time Warner, “because it’s too much concentration of power in the hands of too few” — and because the media is part of the “rigged system” aligned against his campaign.
“The media is trying to poison the mind of the American voter,” the tycoon charged. “Deals like this destroy democracy.”
To “restore security and the constitutional rule of law,” he said he would immediately repeal executive orders issued by President Obama, deport criminal undocumented immigrants and restrict immigration through “extreme vetting.”
“We want people who love our country or who can love our country,” he said. “There are ways of determining that.”
Trump said he was honored to speak on “hallowed ground” at the center 4¹/2 miles from where Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address in 1863.
“President Lincoln served in a time of division like we’ve never seen before,” he said. “It is my hope that we can look at his example to heal the divisions we are living through right now. We are a very divided nation.”
Clinton’s campaign was unimpressed.
“This speech gave us a troubling view as to what a Trump State of the Union would sound like — rambling, unfocused, full of conspiracy theories and attacks on the media, and lacking in any real answers for American families,” said spokeswoman Christina Reynolds.
