Trump's Gettysburg Address - Civil War Foreshadowing?

Trump's 'Gettysburg address' makes closing argument for choosing him and unveils 'first 100 days' agenda as he promises 'the kind of change that only arrives once in a lifetime'

- 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
