What are Trumps specific plans/ideas?

[Remodeling Maidiac]

His illegal immigration position is obvious but where does he stand on the issues a 2016 president would face? As fun as it is to hear him talk shit on current issues we need to hear him talk specifics about the issues that he would face were he elected. Verbal jousting only goes so far and given the fact that he has changed positions many times over the past couple decades I'd like to know where he stands now.
Taunting our enemies with a verbal sling is not a foreign policy.
Claiming everyone loves him is not how you get bipartisan support in Congress if you're president.

Better yet is he in this to win or just feed his ego?

 

[Votto]

You need more to vote for him?

Your fired.

Give him time. Usually this early in presidential races when candidates have just entered the race, nobody has specifics yet. Plus Obama is not through with his goal of wrecking the U.S. into oblivian. We have a ways to go to the first debates.

 

[Votto]

Actually Obamacare came from the GOP.

And yes, that is their plan

 

[danielpalos]

I would like to know how the Capital right is going to earn multi-billion dollar bonuses for the People merely to let Capital do the heavy lifting regarding any Tax burdens.

He wants to try something new. Obviously, the old song and dance hasn't worked in over a half century. And, he can't be any worse that what we've had for the past 50 plus years. I'm willing to give him a shot at it. What do we have to lose? We're already near rock bottom.

 

[MisterBeale]

He believes in a single payer system.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Sonny.....are you going to put your support behind Donald Trump?

 

[MisterBeale]

Last known position stands. I don't think he has changed much.
Trump on the Issues


Trump on Abortion

• Donald Trump is pro life.

• Although Trump opposes abortion he respects the rights of women to make their own choices.

• The only abortion procedure Trump feels should be banned is partial birth abortion.

Trump on Afghanistan

• Donald Trump thinks we should withdraw from Afghanistan as soon as possible.

• He said that giving a withdrawal date was “a stupid mistake”,

• He believes now that the Taliban knows when the U.S. will withdraw, they will merely wait for us to go and re-take the country.

Trump on the Budget

• Donald Trump thinks that if something isn’t done soon, we’ll have a crash worse than that of 1929.

• In 1999, he proposed taxing the rich with a one-time 14.25% tax to erase the national debt, which he still thinks is a good idea.

• He said that such a plan would save billions annually in interest payments.

• Eliminating debt would boost the economy 35% and income taxes could be lowered.

Trump on Business & Labor

• Trump believes the biggest danger to both business and labor is China.

• He believes that we are rebuilding China instead of taking care of our own country.

• Trumps thinks that If we’d alter our trade policies, we could pay off the debt and start creating more jobs right here.

Trump on Capital Punishment

• Donald Trump says that anyone who takes a life should forfeit their own.

• He said criminals have declared war on decent people and lethal injection is too comfortable.

• 100% of the people executed will never commit another crime.

• He thinks that capital punishment also serves as a deterrent for some.

• Trumps believes that judges should be held accountable for their sentencing. Pedophiles, drunk drivers, murderers and other criminals are often are set free to prey again because of light sentencing.

• He wants to stop the victim culture and recognize what criminals are—bad people who prey on good people and they should be punished as harshly as possible.

Trump on China

• Trump says we give way too many advantages to China and they're laughing at how easy it is to take advantage of the U.S.

• He thinks that we should tax all imports from China 25%. That would encourage buying American and balance out the trade deficit.

• Human rights are important - if the Chinese are oppressed, then there shouldn't be much of a market for US goods. We are betraying our principles by allowing them to violate basic rights of their people.

• We should not keep our markets open to countries that oppress their people or steal from us.

• He said that the US makes better products but China manipulates their currency so people almost have to buy Chinese products to stay in business.

• China makes it nearly impossible to do business there but wants our technology and for Americans to buy their products.

Trump on Civil Liberties

• Trump believes diversity is good and has made this country what it is.

• Crimes against people for their race, sexual orientation, religion, etc should be prosecuted as hate crimes with more punitive penalties than random crimes.

• He thinks that big government is the worst threat to civil liberties. Government scrutiny of private individuals is a real threat and curtails liberties. Government should keep to public works and safety and limit itself to that.

Trump on the Deficit

• Donald Trump believes that the deficit would be greatly reduced if government would stay out of things in which it doesn’t do well, which is a very long list.

• He would take the government out of providing public conveniences such as farm subsidies, food safety, energy regulations and transportation and limit it to defending the constitution and our shores. This will save billions, even trillions.

Trump on the Economy

• Trump believes raising taxes is foolish seeing that the US is the highest taxed nation in the world.

• He thinks the economy would improve if we would charge the countries we protect.

Trump on Education

• Donald Trump thinks our education system is in trouble.

• He would teach citizenship and stop 'dumbing down' the curriculum.

• He would make schools safe and be tough on troublemakers.

• Trump says diplomas are often little more than attendance certificates. Lower levels should cover the basics, teach study skills and prepare kids who want higher education.

• He says, forget self esteem, challenge kids and allow small failures. Failing incentivizes kids to do better when handled properly. People fail in life but if properly prepared they will get back up and try again. Schools these days encourage them to give up and nurse their hurt feelings.

• Trump thinks that schools should compete, school choice encourages competition.

• He would do away with the Department of Education and let local and state governments run their schools as they see fit—this would also encourage competition and people would move to the best school districts, growing the economy while providing better education.

Trump on Energy

• Trump thinks we should use our natural resources to solve our energy problems while helping the economy.

• He believes that the US has so much oil in our ocean and we should get it.

• He thinks that we don't use much of our natural gas but we should.

Trump on Foreign Affairs

• Donald Trump wants the US to quit appeasing dictators.

• He knows that foreign policy is not as easy as drawing up a general plan, be thinks we should be deal-makers instead of chess players.

• Deal-makers can put our interests first, know when to back off, when to be tough and never settle for less than America deserves.

• Trump believes that if countries want our help they should have something to give in return other than vague promises of 'working toward democracy'. They need us more than we need them; we should use our leverage to benefit everyone but especially ourselves.

Trump on Gun Control

• Donald Trump generally opposes gun control.

• He thinks that every law abiding citizen should have a gun if they want to.

• Trump believes that assault weapons should be banned, “who needs them except criminals and police?”

• He wants a longer waiting period for hand guns, rifles and shotguns. We should be able to tell within 72 hours if a person has a record or mental issues that would prohibit ownership.

Trump on Health Care

• He has advocated a single payer system in the past but believes the new health care law is unconstitutional and so costly that it will bankrupt the country.

Trump on Immigration

• He believes that we can’t absorb all the illegals and thinks that they’re destroying our economy.

Trump on Iran

• Donald Trump believes that our soldiers have no business in the Middle East.

Trump on Iraq

• Trump believes we should withdraw from Iraq and the Middle East.

• He would not be in Iraq unless our own interests are directly threatened.

• Trump would not offer humanitarian intervention.

Trump on Israel

• Donald Trump maintains that Israel is our best friend.

• He thinks we should do everything we can to protect Israel

• He believes that Israel should be the cornerstone of our policy in the region.

Trump on National Security

• He thinks that the public should be educated to reduce panic if an attack occurs.

Trump on North Korea

• Trump believes that we should stop North Korean nukes by force if necessary.

Trump on Poverty

• Trump believes that teen moms should not receive assistance unless they meet tough requirements. Living in group homes might reduce further pregnancies by lending moral support.

• He said that there are many people that work out of churches, temples or on their own who want to care for the poor and disadvantaged—let them, and restrict public assistance.

• He thinks that states, cities and counties should partner with faith-based charitable organizations and others. He believes that communities should work together instead of depending on public assistance.

We tried that with Obama. Fuck that

And we have plenty to lose

 

[BluesLegend]

Holy shit man what the fuck are the specific plans from all these professional politician clowns, more of the same failed policies, borrowing, spending, and failure?

If this were a job interview and an examination of their resumes, success, failures, none of these career politicians would make it. Trump on the other hand, yeah not even a contest.

STOP assuming a career politician with a track record of epic failure and stupid decisions is a better candidate for fucks sake.

 

[Derideo_Te]

In order to be a leader, especially a political leader, you need to have a vision for the future. St Reagan with his morning in America, JFK with a man on the moon, that kind of thing.

Trump doesn't have a vision.

Next leaders need to be able to communicate their vision. Trump doesn't communicate, he just yells at people.

Having communicated their vision leaders need to inspire and motivate others to achieve their vision. Trump believes that firing people motivates others. All that does is turn people into sycophants if they want to keep their jobs.

So on the 3 most critical aspects of being a leader Trump comes up short on all of them.

As for the rest of his policies that is irrelevant if he cannot lead. Then he just becomes a puppet and he does what others tell him to do as we saw with Bush jr.

This nation deserves better IMO.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"His illegal immigration position is obvious..."

Obvious that's it's ignorant, hateful, and wrong.

 

[Camp]

His plan to defeat ISIS is pretty scary. First he will bomb all the oil fields held in Iraq, and we can assume Syria. Then he will secure those fields with US troops to protect them while private companies repair the destroyed oil fields. ISIS will be defeated because they have no money. In other words. His plan to defeat ISIS will require putting hundreds of thousands of US troops on the ground to fight ISIS. Pretty cool plan ain't it.

 

[Sonny Clark]

Sonny.....are you going to put your support behind Donald Trump?

I'm not sure yet, way too early in the game. But, if I had to make a choice today, considering all the others, from both parties, yes, I would vote for him. What do we have to lose? Can it get any worse than what we've seen over the past half century? At least he's NOT a professional politician. I'd never ever vote for a professional politician, never. I'll either do as I usually do, and write-in a candidate, or I'll vote for Trump.

Trump is jester. A distraction and low-brow entertainment. He'll drop his drawers on the national stage and skulk away. Whatever.
