Republican presidential candidate promises to battle corruption, trim federal workforce

Donald Trump on Saturday pledged post-election lawsuits against every woman who has accused him of sexual assault or other inappropriate behaviour, and he charged Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party with orchestrating the allegations.

"Every one of these liars will be sued once the election is over," Trump said, adding, "I look so forward to doing that."

Trump's threat overshadowed his intended focus during a speech in Gettysburg, Pa., that was billed as a chance for the Republican nominee to lay out his agenda for his first 100 days in office.

Trump promised to institute a hiring freeze on federal workers and to label China as a currency manipulator, but he first seized on the chance to once again try to discredit his accusers.

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign,"

Emmys 'not rigged': TV Academy fires back at Donald Trump

Trump's threat overshadowed his intended focus during a speech in Gettysburg, Pa., that was billed as a chance for the Republican nominee to lay out his agenda for his first 100 days in office.

Trump promised to institute a hiring freeze on federal workers and to label China as a currency manipulator, but he first seized on the chance to once again try to discredit his accusers.

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," he said

Trump's ambitious to-do list for the first 100 days of a Trump administration comes as his path to the White House narrows before the Nov. 8 v

Beset by weeks of controversy, the Republican presidential nominee tried to shift attention back to his core priorities with the speech, which Trump's team had hyped heavily as his campaign struggles to regain ground lost to Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Trump opened his speech by telling supporters the U.S. political system is "totally rigged and broken."

"I've seen the system up close and personal for many years, in Washington and on Wall Street, and how the rules of the game against everyday Americans are rigged. The rules are rigged," he said.

Vows to weaken U.S. media 'power structure' 

He said he would work to quash deals that allow media ownership concentration, saying large media companies are "trying to tell voters what to think and what to do." 

Trump promised to foil a proposed deal for AT&T to buy Time Warner if he wins the election, arguing it was an example of a "power structure" rigged against both him and voters.

"As an example of the power structure I'm fighting, AT&T is buying Time Warner and thus CNN, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few," Trump said
