1
Good evening.
2
Thank you.
3
One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy.
4
In his own way, and through his own sheer force of will,
5
he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider,
6
and he prevailed against a field of 16 very talented competitors.
7
For more than a year,
8
Donald Trump has been the People's Champion.
9
And tonight, he is the People's nominee.
10
Like many of my fellow millennials,
11
I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat.
12
More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and for my country.
13
Sometimes it's a tough choice.
14
That is not the case this time.
15
As the proud daughter of your nominee,
16
I am here to tell you that this is the moment,
17
and Donald Trump is the person,
18
to make America great again.
19
Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades,
20
is only going to come from outside the system.
21
And it's only going to come from a man who has
22
spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done.
23
My father is a fighter.
24
When the primaries got tough,
25
and they were tough, he did what any great leader does.
26
He dug deeper, worked harder,
27
got better, and became stronger.
28
I have seen him fight for his family.
29
I have seen him fight for his employees.
30
I have seen him fight for his company.
31
And now I am seeing him fight for our country.
32
It's been the story of his life and more recently the spirit of his campaign.
33
It's also a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all
34
when this party and better still this country knows what it is like to win again.
35
If it's possible to be famous and yet not really well known,
36
that describes the father who raised me.
37
In the same office in Trump Tower where we now work together,
38
I remember playing on the floor by my father's desk,
39
constructing miniature buildings with Legos and erector sets while he did the same with concrete,
40
steel and glass.
41
My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass.
42
He showed us how to be resilient,
43
how to deal with challenges,
44
and how to strive for excellence in all that we do.
45
He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic.
46
One of my father's greatest talents is his ability to see potential in people before they see it in themselves.
47
It was like that for us too growing up.
48
He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort and
49
that like him we each had a responsibility to work not just for ourselves
50
but for the betterment of the world around us.
51
Over the years on too many occasions to count I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper
52
about people whom he had never met who were facing some injustice or hardship.
53
He'd write a note to his assistant in a signature black felt-tip pen
54
and request that the person be found and invited to Trump Tower to meet with him.
55
He would talk to them and then draw upon his extensive network to find them a job or get them a break.
56
And they would leave his office as people
57
so often do after having been with Donald Trump feeling that life could be great again.
58
Throughout my entire life, I have witnessed his empathy and generosity towards others,
59
especially those who are suffering.
60
It is just his way of being in your corner when you're down.
61
My father not only has the strength and ability necessary to be our next president,
62
but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs.
63
My father has a sense of fairness that touches every conviction he has hold.
64
I've worked alongside of him for more than a decade now at the Trump Organization,
65
and I've seen how he operates as a leader,
66
making important decisions that shape careers and that change lives.
67
I've learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side.
68
When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies.
69
Competence in the building trades is easy to spot,
70
and incompetence is impossible to hide.
71
These sites are also incredible melting pots,
72
gathering people from all walks of life and uniting them to work towards a single mission.
73
There have always been men of all background
74
and ethnicities on my father's job sites and long before it was commonplace you also saw women.
75
My father values talents.
76
He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it.
77
He is colorblind and gender neutral.
78
He hires the best person for the job, period.
79
Words and promises, no matter how visionary they sound,
80
will only get you so far.
81
In our business, you're not a builder unless you've got a building to show for it.
82
Or in my father's case, city skylines.
83
Most people strive their entire lives to achieve great success in a single industry.
84
My father has succeeded in many,
85
on the highest level and on a global scale.
86
One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone.
87
Billionaire executives don't usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work.
88
My father is an exception.
89
On every one of his projects,
90
you'll see him talking to the super,
91
the painter, the engineers, the electricians.
92
He'll ask them for their feedback,
93
if they think something should be done differently or could be done better.
94
When Donald Trump is in charge,
95
all that counts is ability, effort and excellence.
96
This has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization.
97
At my father's company, there are more female than male executives.
98
Women are paid equally for the work that we do,
99
and when a woman becomes a mother,
100
she is supported, not shut out.
101
Women represent 46% of the total U.S labor force,
102
and 40% of American households have female primary breadwinners.
103
In 2014, women made 83 cents for every dollar earned by a man.
104
Single women without children earned 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man,
105
whereas married mothers made only 77 cents.
106
As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage discrepancy in this country.
107
Motherhood is.
108
As president, my father will change the labor laws
109
that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce.
110
And he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all.
111
As a mother myself of three young children,
112
I know how hard it is to work while raising a family.
113
And I also know that I'm far more fortunate than most.
114
American families need relief.
115
Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties,
116
they should be the norm.
117
Politicians talk about wage equality,
118
but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career.
119
He will fight for equal pay,
120
for equal work, and I will fight for this too,
121
right alongside of him.
122
Americans today need an economy that permits people to rise again.
123
A Trump presidency will turn the economy around
124
and restore the great American tradition of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of the generation
125
that came before.
126
In Donald Trump, you have a candidate who knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen.
127
When my father says that he will build a tower,
128
keep an eye on the skyline,
129
Floor by floor, a soaring structure will appear,
130
usually record-setting in its height and iconic in its design.
131
Real people are hired to do real work.
132
Vision becomes reality.
133
When my father says that he will make America great again, he will deliver.
134
forever.
135
We have a chance this year to reclaim our heritage as a country that dreams big and makes the impossible happen.
136
Fortunately, Donald Trump is incapable of thinking small.
137
When I was a child,
138
my father always told me,
139
Ivanka, if you're going to be thinking anyway,
140
you might as well think big.
141
As president, my father will take on the bold and worthy fights.
142
He will be unafraid to set lofty goals,
143
and he will be relentless in his determination to achieve them.
144
To people all over America,
145
I say, when you have my father in your corner,
146
you will never again have to worry about being let down.
147
He will fight for you,
148
all the time, all the way, every time.
149
Maybe it's the developer in him,
150
but Donald Trump cannot stand to see empty main streets and boarded up factories.
151
He can't bear the injustice of college graduates who are crippled by student debt
152
and mothers who can't afford the cost of the childcare required to return to work to better the lives of their families.
153
Other politicians see these hardships,
154
see the unfairness of it all,
155
and they say, I feel for you.
156
Only my father will say, I'll fight for you.
157
The hardworking men and women of this country identify with my father.
158
He is tough and he is persevering.
159
He is honest and he is real.
160
He's an optimist and he's a relentless believer in America and all of her potential.
161
He loves his family and he loves his country with his heart and his soul.
162
Politicians ask to be judged by their promises, not their results.
163
I ask you to judge my father by his results.
164
Judge his values by those he's instilled in his children.
165
Judge his competency by the towers he's built,
166
the companies he's founded, and the tens of thousands of jobs he's created.
167
He is the single most qualified person to serve as chief executive of an $18 trillion economy.
168
My father will call upon the best and brightest people from all spheres of industry and both sides of the aisle,
169
a new set of thinkers to face our country's existing and future problems with fresh perspective and brave new solutions.
170
Come January 17, all things will be possible again.
171
We can hope and dream and think big again.
172
No one has more faith in the American people than my father.
173
He will be your greatest,
174
your truest, and your most loyal champion.
175
This is the fighter, the doer that you have chosen as your nominee.
176
In ways no one expected,
177
this moment in the life of our country has defined a mission and given it to an extraordinary man.
178
He is ready to see it all the way through,
179
to speak to every man
180
and every woman of every background in every part of this great country to earn your trust and to earn your vote.
181
He earned that and much more from me a long time ago.
182
I have loved and respected him my entire life.
183
And I could not be more proud tonight to present to you and to all of America,
184
my father and our next president, Donald J.
185
Trump.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
