What Trump Wants:
Immigration – Donald Trump wants to stop illegal immigration. He has promised he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico to stop new immigrants from crossing the border and deport illegal immigrants already here. He also wants to suspend visas until the borders can be secured. (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/immigration/)
Tax Policy – Donald Trump wants to repeal estate taxes and lower the top tier individual tax rate from 39.6% to 33%. He would lower business taxes and repeal some taxes on high-income households that took effect in 2013. His plan would increase the after-tax income of the top of 1% of households by between 10.2% and 16% according to the Tax Foundation. (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/tax-plan/)
Foreign Relations - 1.7 billion dollars was given to Iran by the US government was the "worst deal we could have made.” The Obama Administration agreed to repay Iran 1.7 billion dollars, including $1.3 billion dollars in interest, for an outstanding debt of $400 million dollars. The debt was the result of military goods Iran bought in 1979 but the United States never delivered due to the Islamic Revolution. The agreement came at a time when Iran and the United States negotiated a nuclear arms deal and Iran agreed to release three American hostages. The Obama Administration argued that the debt owed could have been worse as it was being reviewed by the Hague Tribunal. Donald Trump has argued that the United States should have never paid the debt because Iran will use the money against us and the only reason we paid was to finalize the nuclear deal and release the hostages. He has said if he were President, he would have negotiated a much better deal. (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/foreign-policy-and-defeating-isis/)
Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons - The United States and its allies are trying to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, thermonuclear material, and weapons applicable nuclear technology to nations that are not recognized as Nuclear Weapons States. Today there are generally nine countries recognized to own nuclear weapons. The Obama Administration, as with previous administrations, is working to prevent other countries from gaining nuclear weapon capabilities. Donald Trump has suggested that the United States should not be burdened with protecting many of its allies but instead maybe they should be given nuclear weapon technology so they can protect themselves.
After Second Debate:
Campaign Goals
- "Make America Great Again"- create a stronger border, increase trade, ensure law and order, and increase safety of our inner cities
- "I think the thing that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 emails that you deleted, and the box of missing files that the FBI revealed from its investigation this week."
- Obama care is a disaster. Costs are higher than they ever were before and it is only getting worse. in 2017 it will implode. Obama care is too expensive for our country, it is bad insurance. We have to repeal and replace it with something that is less expensive and effective. we need to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines in order to create competition
- When we allow competition, and implement block grants in states, we can affordably take care of people.
- Unfortunately, there is Islamophobia in our country. But we cannot deny that there is a problem-radical Islamic terrorists exist and if we cannot solve the problem. Hillary will not use that name.
- My Muslim ban is called "extreme vetting." Obama and Hillary want people to enter our country without vetting them.
- When I become president, the many criminal illegal aliens that have entered our country are going back to their countries. these people bring over drugs and cause crime.
- Russia's nuclear program has grown, but ours has fallen behind. the government should not have allowed this.
- we can fight ISIS with Russia. I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia and do not conduct business there.
- We need to lower taxes and cut taxes for the middle class. Not to mention get rid of the carried interest provision. Hillary Clinton is going to raise taxes
- We have the biggest increase in murder in our country in 45 years.
- Justice Scalia was a great judge. I want to appoint judges in that mold. I want people who will respect the constitution and the second amendment.
- Energy is under a siege by the Obama administration . The EPA is killing these energy companies.
- I am all for alternate sources of energy, but more than wind and solar, clean coal is an option.
