Make Gettysburg great again

The AP Language and Composition students recently completed an assignment that asked students to re-write the famous Gettysburg Address in a different style. Here we share the Donald Trump version, in honor of his inauguration.

About, like 80-85 years ago, some great people, great people, amazing, tremendous, created this beaaaauutiful nation.  Free nation.  They said, do you know what they said?  I know what they said.  They said all men are created equal.

Now we got brothers fighting brothers, friends fighting each other, you know?  This tremendous – great war, tremendous fighting, it is amazing!  How are we supposed to get through that?  Well, I’ll tell you how.  We can put those amazing men right here, right now, on this beaauuutiful ground, right here, right where they fought, ya?

But you know what?  We can’t make this ground special, we can’t make it holy.  It was those beautiful, amazing men.  Tremendous men.  They made it special, right?  You know, what we’re saying here, that’s gonna come and go, you know?  But nobody can forget them , they DIIIIIIIIIED (died).  And you know what we gotta do?  We gotta respect that.

A great, tremendous friend, amazing friend, once told me that we have to finish what they started, you know? But we gotta keep going.  HARDER.  You know?  We gotta, we gotta see to it.  That these great, tre-mazing men did not die for nothing.  We gotta make sure that we make America great again!  Thank you.
