 [October 22, 2016]
(Reuters) - Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump will lay out on Saturday what he would do in the
first 100 days of his administration should he win the Nov. 8 election.
Trump’s outline - which he will deliver in a speech in the historic town
of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - will cover his plans for boosting
Americans' economic and physical security and contrast them with those
of Democrat Hillary Clinton, campaign aides told reporters on Friday.
Clinton published a book of her own policy ideas earlier this year.
Trump is trailing Clinton in most polls - although he has narrowed the
gap according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday - and has less
than three weeks to catch up.
Much of the campaign in recent weeks has focused on allegations that he
made improper advances to women over decades, something he denies.
It is also being dominated by Trump's accusation that the election is
"rigged" and that he may not accept the result.
Trump aides said Gettysburg, the site of a major Civil War battle and
Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s famous address, was a fitting
place for Trump to lay out a positive vision for the future of his
party, which has suffered a schism between his supporters and the
party's establishment.
Trump has planted some new policy details in recent speeches as he seeks
to shift attention away from the recent controversies.

In the past week, for example, he laid out ethics rules to shut the
“revolving door” between government and lobbying and proposed term
limits for members of Congress.
Trump's aides said he would unveil additional new policy details
Saturday. They would not elaborate.
