Trump's Gettysburg address
'First 100 days' agenda speech formalized his mainstay political pledges with promises of legislation and executive orders
Called it a 'Contract with the American Voter,' modeling it after
the 1994 Republican 'Contract with America'
Trump touted 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime' and made his final substantive pitch to frame the campaign's last two weeks
Told an audience of about 300 invited guests that he will 'drain the swamp' in Washington
Borrowed a line from Abraham Lincoln's 1863 speech, saying he would replace D.C. elites 'with a new government of, by and for the people.'
A Trump aide said the Civil War battlefield site is appropriate because 'Gettysburg was the moment when the war turned'
The candidate briefly visited the site of the famed Civil War battle after his speech
