Donald Trump RNC Speech: 16 Things He Actually Said


Donald Trump has dubbed himself the "law and order" candidate.


He has also made numerous promises and said some very bad things about Hillary Clinton.


Here is a rundown of the real estate mogul"s speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention:




1. He’s Humbled


Hes humbled

Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the Presidency of the United States.



2. PC… ya!


Pc ya

We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.



3. That’s Rich


Thats rich

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 every single thing she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.



4. Don’t Be With Her


Dont be with her

Now let us consider the state of affairs abroad. Not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they have lived through one international humiliation after another… This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness. But Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy.



5. I’m a Uniter!


Im a uniter

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 than frankly I have ever seen and anybody in this room has ever watched or seen. This administration has failed America’s inner cities.



6. FIRST!


First

A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes. Tonight, I will share with you my plan of action for America. The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponents, is that our plan will put America first.

Ivanka Trump Wins RNC With Speech, Should Be Actual Candidate

During her speech at the Republican National Convention, Ivanka Trump made the case for her father, GOP nominee Donald Trump.


She argued that he would work hard in the best interests of women and working class Americans when and if he is elected president.


Whereas Donald Trump"s RNC speech, which immediately followed, was dark and Draconian, Ivanka"s was uplifting and inspirational.


One of the Republican candidate"s most trusted advisers, Ivanka made a softer appeal for a man seen by many as a hard candidate.


"He will fight for equal pay for equal work and I will fight for this too, right alongside of him," Ivanka said, regarding women in the workplace.


"American families need relief," she added. "Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties they should be the norm." 


Running against Hillary Clinton, the first female presidential nominee, Trump wants to show that he, too, supports equality for women.


To wit, Ivanka touched on issues such as equal pay, affordable child care, and ensuring that motherhood is not an obstacle to careers:


"As President, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place during a time in which women were not a significant part of the workforce."


President Trump, his 34-year-old daughter said, "will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all."


Beyond that, "my father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is colorblind and gender-neutral."


"He hires the best person for the job, period."


Ivanka also sought to portray her fighter as a compassionate figure who stands for all, and who looks out for those suffering and hurting.


"Throughout my entire life, I have witnessed his empathy and generosity towards others, especially those who are suffering," she said.


"It"s just his way of being in your corner when you"re down."


"My father has not only the strength and ability necessary to be our next president, but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader this country needs."


As for the fact that he"s been so divisive as a candidate?


Just wait and see, she says: "Politicians ask to be judged by their promises, not their results. I ask you to judge my father by his results."


"Judge his competency by the towers he"s built, the companies he"s founded and the tens of thousands of jobs he"s created," she said.


"Judge his values by those he"s instilled in his children."

Selena Gomez is Worth HOW MUCH on Instagram?!?

Selena Gomez is not the most popular person on Twitter right now.


But the singer is the star behind the most-Liked photo in Instagram history … and you may be stunned to learn how this translates to the almighty dollar.



Earlier this week, D’Marie Analytics unveiled rankings of social media influencers, with Gomez sitting comfortably on top due to a combined follower count across platforms of 180,915,477 people.


Yes, over 180 million people sign on to the Internet on a frequent basis in order to see what Selena Gomez is doing and saying.


What does this mean for her ego? It probably means Selena should be feeling pretty good about herself these days.


What does it mean for her wallet? 


AdWeek reports that the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts from the pop singer are valued up to $ 550,000 a piece.


No, Gomez is not making that insane figure every time she shares a message or photo that includes some kind of brand or product.


But D’Marie Analytics CEO Frank Spadafora explains to AdWeek that the $ 550,000 price tag is the “ad equivalent” value per post.



“This valuation is based on D’Marie’s algorithm, which measures 56 metrics including followers, post frequency, engagement, quality of post, click-thru and potential to create sales conversions from her social content,” Spadafora says.


In other words: you know how companies shell out a couple million dollars every year for a 30-second Super Bowl ad?


They could pay far less money to Selena Gomez instead and still see their endorsements viewed by hundreds of millions of people.


How much the singer herself takes home is decided between her agents and each brand.


Scroll above to the first photo posted here, for example. Gomez was very clearly paid money to hold that particular type of popcorn.


In exchange, the popcorn company got its product to not only be seen by Gomez’s 180 million-plus followers… but for those followers to be influenced by the fact that one of their favorite celebrities is eating it.


Gomez has partnerships with brands such as Coca-Cola, but Spadafora says that she’s still crazy successful without overwhelming her social media accounts with ads.


She doesn’t shill for products nearly as often as Kim Kardashian.


“Personally, I think it’s because she’s being smart and she’s aware that over-saturating her social feeds with sponsored content could negatively impact the relationship she has with her audience,” Spadafora says.

It’s still worth remembering, however:


Any time you see a star holding a product on social media, he or she likely has a monetary reason for doing so.


We’re not passing judgment. It’s the same as starring in a commercial for that product on their end.


It’s just important for followers to know that Selena, Kim, Justin Bieber and other celebrities are often being paid to eat, drink or wear certain things online.


Keep that in mind.
