Restoring the American Dream. This is the refrain of Donald Trump’s electoral campaign in 2024. This was also the case in 2020… and in 2016. But now that he returns to the White House after beating Democrat Kamala Harris in presidential elections This Tuesday, the song promises to sound different.
In general, the political agenda of the Republican focused on returning a country drowned by very high inflation to the path of economic growth and relied on greater border protection to end illegal immigration.
To achieve this, the New York tycoon proposed a series of measures in his Agenda 47 For, as their motto says, Make America Great Again (Make America Great Again). Below, we review some of Donald Trump’s clearly expressed intentions…at least on paper.
Energy | “Let’s drill, baby”
One of Trump’s main promises is to increase oil and natural gas production place the United States as a world leader in this activity. To do this, his program proposes lifting restrictions on energy production and removing environmental regulations.
His entire policy can be summed up in a sentence that he himself uttered in Detroit the election campaign in relation to the extraction of these resources: “We are going to do hydraulic fracturing, hydraulic fracturing and drill and drill, baby. “
Economy | Reduce taxes
One of the major issues of Trump’s economic program is the reduction of taxes for businesses and individuals. More specifically, in his efforts to promote the doctrine of America firstthe Republican wants to go down corporate tax from 21% to 15% to companies that manufacture their products in the United States.
In view of this new mandate, Trump is not forgetting the middle class, to whom he also intends to grant more deductions. Especially for families with children. In fact, his argument is that if taxes remain low economic growth is stimulated and workers are empowered.
Donald Trump elected president of the United States.
However, the thing is that to compensate for this tax reduction, Trump plans to increase customs duties on imports, particularly on products from China, which he plans to increase.
To combat inflation, Trump aims to cut “excessive” government spending and reform Federal Reserve policies to avoid prolonged inflation.
Immigration | Mass deportations
Regarding immigration, the Republican has two major ambitions: “seal the border with Mexico” and carry out “the largest expulsion of illegal immigrants in the history of the country.” However, at no time has he detailed exactly how he intends to implement this plan.
What seems clear is that he wants to continue build the border wall and toughen laws to eliminate advantages granted to those who come from outside.
Abortion | Bragging about restrictions
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has placed the defense of abortion at the center of her campaign, an issue that ten states have put to a vote on Election Day. On the contrary, Trump a pro-life approach.
He repeatedly boasted that the judges he appointed to the Supreme Court had overturned the sentence. Deer vs. Wade and they opened the door to banning or restricting abortion in the states. To reach the White House, Trump promised to veto the nationwide ban if Congress approves it.
Weapons| More and more
Few people have defended the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which enshrines the right to own guns, as much as Trump. Furthermore, on several occasions it has been defined as “best friend” of the National Rifle Associationwhich becomes the political arm of the country’s arms industry.
Although his platform does not include any clear measures on gun control, it is to be expected that in the years to come, the Republican will fervently oppose any limits on gun ownership.
