Please welcome the cofounder of PayPal, and first investor in Facebook, entrepreneur Peter Thiel. [APPLAUSE] Good evening. I'm Peter Thiel. I'm not a politician, but neither is Donald Trump. [APPLAUSE] He is a builder, and it's time to rebuild America. [APPLAUSE] Americans get paid less today than 10 years ago, but healthcare and college tuition costs more every year. Meanwhile Wall Street bankers inflate bubbles in everything, from government bonds to Hillary Clinton speaking fees. [APPLAUSE] I don't pretend to agree with every plank in our party's platform, but fake culture awards only distract us from our economic decline, and nobody in this race is being honest about it except Donald Trump. [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] When Donald Trump asked us to make America great again, he's not suggesting a return to the past. He's running to lead us back to that bright future. Tonight, urge all of my fellow Americans to stand up and vote for Donald Trump. [APPLAUSE] Thank you.
