That's nonsense and fake news and why Trump will win. People are getting tired of all the hyperbole, and have since long stopped listening.
Trump wants this:
1. Immigration Reform and Border Security
One of Donald Trump’s most significant policy proposals revolves around immigration reform, which includes the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has consistently advocated for stricter immigration policies, including increased funding for border security, enhanced deportation efforts, and changes to legal immigration processes. His administration would likely focus on reducing illegal immigration through enforcement measures and revising visa programs to prioritize skilled workers.
2. Economic Policy and Tax Reform
Trump has proposed a comprehensive economic policy aimed at stimulating growth through tax cuts and deregulation. His plan includes lowering corporate tax rates to encourage business investment and job creation, as well as simplifying the tax code for individuals. Additionally, he has emphasized the importance of renegotiating trade deals that he believes disadvantage American workers, such as NAFTA and agreements with China.
3. Energy Independence and Deregulation
A key aspect of Trump’s policy agenda is achieving energy independence for the United States. This involves promoting fossil fuel production, including oil, natural gas, and coal, while rolling back regulations that he argues hinder energy development. Trump supports expanding drilling on federal lands and offshore areas to boost domestic energy production and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.
4. Foreign Policy: America First Approach
Trump’s foreign policy is characterized by an “America First” approach, which prioritizes U.S. interests in international relations. This includes reassessing alliances and military commitments abroad, focusing on bilateral trade agreements rather than multilateral ones, and advocating for increased defense spending to strengthen the military. He has also expressed skepticism about international organizations like NATO unless member countries meet their financial obligations.
5. Health Care Reform
Trump aims to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. His proposed health care reforms include increasing competition in the insurance market by allowing insurance sales across state lines, providing tax deductions for health insurance premiums, and promoting Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The goal is to lower costs while improving access to healthcare services without government mandates.
