Trump lays out proposals for first 100 days as President; to sue the accusers

Washington, Oct 23 (IANS) US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday put forward proposals for his first 100 days in office if elected President, calling his plan "a contract" between him and US voters.

Speaking at a rally in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the New York billionaire real estate developer pledged to clean house in Washington, D.C. with a "new government of, by and for the people", and accused his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of running against "change" and against "all of the American people", Xinhua news agency reported.

"Our campaign represents the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime," said the candidate famous for his bellicose style.

However, Trump did not put forward any new proposals in his 40-minute speech. Rather, he packaged his past plans into a number of legislative measures.

According to his 100-day plan, a Trump administration would curb illegal immigration, and impose Congressional term limits.

On the economy, Trump vowed to create over 25 million jobs in one decade, renegotiate US international trade deals and cancel billions in payments to the United Nations' climate change programmes to use the money to invest domestically.

"On November 8, Americans will be voting on this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our country, secure our communities and honesty to our government," said Trump.

Donald Trump vows to sue sexual misconduct accusers


US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump vowed on Saturday to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct in recent weeks.

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," Trump said during remarks in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. "Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over," CNN quoted Trump as saying.

He added that a "simple phone call" to major news outlets "gets them wall-to-wall coverage with virtually no fact-checking ever".

In the last two weeks, at least 10 women have come forward accusing Trump of inappropriately touching them. Their allegations came after a 2005 videotape surfaced of Trump bragging about being able to grope women and get away with it.

Trump went on to suggest on Saturday that his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's campaign was behind the women's allegations.

"It was probably the (Democratic National Committee) and Hillary's campaign who put forward these liars with their fabricated stories," he said. "But we'll probably find out later through litigation, which we're so looking forward to."

Earlier in October, he threatened to sue The New York Times when it published assault allegations against him, but nearly two weeks later, he has declined to follow through.

Donald's 'locker room talk' is 'a fact of life': Trump Jr


Washington, Oct 23 (IANS) Donald Trump Jr has said that conversations like the one his father had in 2005 where he boasted about forcing himself on women and grabbing their genitals are "a fact of life".

In appearance on Friday on KIRO radio 97.3's "Dori Monson Show", Trump Jr addressed his father's hot mic comments, saying, "Obviously he's not happy about that, but I think we probably all know guys who have had conversations with other guys that go a little bit in that direction, that's a fact of life."

"I think he's able to relate to ordinary Americans because in many cases he is still very much like that. He does do that. He hasn't spent his whole life sitting there polishing every statement he's ever made, every conversation he's ever had," CNN quoted the son of US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as saying.

Donald Trump apologised for his comments in a video statement shortly after they were leaked, and has since referred to them as "locker room talk".

Trump Jr went on to call his father's comment a "mistake".

"He doesn't run a focus group so he can tell you what he's thinking," he said. 

"He speaks from the heart, that one is obviously one that we don't want to -- that was a mistake, he recognises that. He realises it, but he's able to make a mistake because he hasn't spent his whole life just trying to be a politician."
