28 Things Donald Trump Promises to Do as President

Donald Trump is laying out delivered a long list of things he would do if elected president.

During an appearance in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he vows to act on them in the first 100 days in office.

“On November Eighth, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our country, secure our communities, and honesty to our government,” Trump says. “This is my pledge to you and if we follow these steps we will once more have a government of, by and for the people and importantly we will make America great again. Believe me.”

Here is the list of the “Contract with the American Voter” policies detailed by Trump:

  1. Propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress
  2. Institute a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health)
  3. Require for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.
  4. Institute a five year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service
  5. Create a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
  6. Institute a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
  7. Announce intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205.
  8. Announce withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
  9. Direct Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
  10. Direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately.
  11. Lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
  12. Lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.
  13. Cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure.
  14. Cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.
  15. Begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
  16. Cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities.
  17. Begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.
  18. Suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
  19. Work with Congress on a Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act.An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
  20. Work with Congress on a End The Offshoring ActEstablishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
  21. Work with Congress on a American Energy & Infrastructure ActLeverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
  22. Work with Congress on a School Choice And Education Opportunity ActRedirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
  23. Work with Congress on a Repeal and Replace Obamacare ActFully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
  24. Work with Congress on a Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act.Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
  25. Work with Congress on an End Illegal Immigration ActFully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
  26. Work with Congress on a Restoring Community Safety Act.Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
  27. Work with Congress on a Restoring National Security Act.Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
  28. Work with Congress on a Clean up Corruption in Washington Act.Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

Ron Paul would make a great Sec. of State or head of the Treasury. Eliminate #4 altogether (too NAZI-ish). Eliminate #8 because they’ve failed to achieve the own mandate for each of the 39 years they’ve been in existence. For every other position, open a phone book and choose randomly ala The Jerk.

So the cocksuckers who work at the Minneapolis Red Star newspaper (AKA Star & Tribune) – what they reported was how Trump threatened to sue the women accusers. They made not one mention of these 28 points. The ‘game’ is rigged – and it continues – even when they are called out.

That’s what the takeaway was from MSM in general – suing the women. He started his speech by describing the rigging in all its forms, and it was in this context he mentioned the claims he says are false. It didn’t seem out of line to me. I thought it was a great speech. If he can accomplish half of his goals he and we should be happy.

Fucking campaign just got interesting. You listen to the late night infomercials and eventually they start talking turkey when you hear “but wait, there’s more”.

Term limits on congress is tantamount to a revolution and a shot across the bow of fucking Reid and McConnell. Fuck those bastards. Do-nothing motherfuckers. 16 years they couldn’t come up with a fucking immigration bill. They sat on their thumbs until American voters stopped begging and started demanding a wall. They could have signed a bill long ago, legalized the (fewer) fuckers here and imposed jail time for people coming in after that time but nooooooo, they didn’t have a mandate to do shit but collect campaign contributions and corporate freebies. Fuck them, we shoulda sent a pizza delivery guy, he’d get it done in a half hour. Fuck them biggly.

If he’s serious, I’m coming out as a flaming Trumpeteer. Trump needs to take a flamethrower to congress.

Come to me, I take you all to fuckin’ hell.

I don’t believe I’ve commented on anything I want to hear from Hilly, she’s part of the gang of four (Reid, McCain, Bush Deuce and Obama) that have been stringing Hispanics along with promises.

Propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress

At this point, we’d probably be better off if the Congressmen were picked by random lottery from the eligible population.

I suspect a couple of those things are illegal. Prohibiting people from working as lobbyists would seem such.

Better to prohibit any govt employee or official from dealing with former govt employees or lobbyists (or any lobbyists, for that matter) who were associated with the govt previously.

That would be outstanding if it were really true. Could be they are juicing the popular vote to get voters hyped up so when Harpy steals the election all hell busts loose.
Could a president do these things by himself bypassing Congress? Some MAYBE but not all. It would be a great thing if just half of the list were accomplished. Never working in DC, he has a simplistic view of dealing with the BS we call government. Then on the other hand Oreo has proven you can just dummy up a EO and badda bing….instant legislation.

I would add an amendment that requires an automatic sunset/expiration clause of 20 years minimum on EVERY tax bill signed into law. Some method to allow the public a direct vote on EVERY tax bill, extension, renewal or repeal should be included. Elections take place in this country every two years so there is no reason this can’t be an option. This would allow every generation a voice in the taxes they pay instead of eternal taxation for things they never had a voice in.

I’d also include another amendment restore common law and phase out Admiralty law and the uniform commercial code. Every law going forward should be written in a way that anyone with a legitimate high school diploma can understand it and argue it’s merits while representing themselves. If you have to hire grand wizards (lawyers/judges) to interpret and apply the law for you then those laws are fundamentally unfair.

A cursory reading of that list indicates that 2,4,5,11,12,13,16,17,18,19,21,23,24,25,27 & 28 can be cured, solved, ended just by ending the fed and allowing nature to take its course. Ending the fed would likely have a dramatic on most of the other items.

19. Keep in mind that as long as we have central banking/fiat money REQUIRES more debt to generate growth. The only reason why everyone believes “growth” is necessary is because the fed constantly devalues the currency. End this practice and growth is not required. Fuck reforming taxes. Eliminate the central banker induced income tax and replace it with a national sales tax. The more you spend the more you pay. Eliminate all write-offs. You spend, you pay. This will incentivize people to become savers and put an end to the throw away society/economy.

21. Public-private partnerships almost always end up as complete cluster-fucks that screw the public and reward the private. If there is no private need/incentive to proceed then it can’t be important enough to put the taxpayers on the hook.

If tRump wins, his every effort should be put into restoring the constitution as much as possible and adding/repealing amendments as needed to prevent the erosion of constitutional law. This would include ending the fed.
