President-Elect Donald Trump: The Thread

[Kyyle23]

2 days before the election, Trump called the electoral college "a disaster for democracy". Turns out he was correct, as always, as it appears Hillary will win the popular vote.

 

i think that tweet was from 2012

I'm voting Kanye in 2020. How can anyone say he's less qualified than SLOTUS Trump (Supreme Leader Of The United States)?

What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington

 

Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

 

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;

* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;

* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

 

On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

 

* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

* FOURTH, I will 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

* FIFTH, I will 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.

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure

 

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

 

* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

* SECOND, 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

* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

* FOURTH, 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

* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

 

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

 

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.

 

End The Offshoring Act. Establishes 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.

American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.

 

School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give 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.

Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully 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.

 

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.

 

End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.

 

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.

His demographic not voting is the exact reason that Trump got elected.

 

Every single demographic out there was down from Obama to Clinton. Whites, blacks, Hispanics... all down. Women, down as a whole, even the gap between the two elections widened by 1 percentage point. That's right, with the first woman President potentially on the ballot it essentially stayed the same. Obama won women by 20%, HRC by 21%. Even the

 

I know I got told during the election that Clinton had the base excited and was going to attract middle America, but the numbers show she was just an awful pick for President. If one group owes an answer to its base, it is the DNC who actively tried to figure out ways to put Clinton ahead of Sanders. I have said it before, and will say it again. Hillary Clinton was the Democrats answer to John McCain. She had been in line the longest and had the longest resume, so the party assumed it was her turn. Just like McCain, she did nothing to excite the general public, and got beaten. Only instead of losing to a candidate for history, she lost to the most hated candidate in history.

100% agree.

 

DNC should be looking in the mirror about how they lost to Donald Trump, but instead they wanna blame everyone else. Jill Stein. Like seriously? You are gonna blame Jill Stein for this. Embarrassing.

[RockRaines]

100% agree.

Trump stole the very states Sanders won against HRC. That alone should show them an error.

[GoSox05]

Sanders winning in a state like Wisconsin or Michigan should of sent warning signs through out the Clinton campaign.

 

I don't know if they ignored that or what, but it's a reason why they lost.

The 3rd party shaming is ridiculous. If you want to shame someone, look at the 46.9 percent of voters who stayed home.

[CanOfCorn]

Mr. Trump still lost the popular vote...if the GOP wants to continue controlling the House and Senate, they better step carefully. Because, even though he won the Electoral College, more than half the voters (even by a slim margin) didn't vote for him. So, it's still a tipping point. They can easily lose those voters.

You honestly can't make this stuff up...

 

Potential Trump Homeland Security Chief Believes Black Lives Matter–ISIS Alliance Is Imminent

[DrunkBomber]

She got more votes than Trump did so there's that.

Ya and she got bludgeoned in the electorate by Donald Trump despite having all of Washington DC, almost every media outlet, popular celebrities, billionaires all backing her. Dems got slaughtered down ballot too. Mark Kirk and Kelly Ayotte are two of the bigger GOP losers and they were 2 of the most vocal never Trumpers.

Having chatted with Kelly Ayotte one-on-one on multiple ocassions, she was a very good women and candidate. It is too bad she lost. She is the type of person who I think could have a big role in this country going forward (maybe not now, but a few years from now). I wouldn't be shocked if 8 or 12 years from now she was running for president.

They should shame the media and all of the dem voters who were willing to push Hillary Clinton as a nominee. All of the warning signs were there for Hillary but the democrats didnt want her to have to be held accountable for her corruption until it was too late and wikileaks exposed just how corrupt they were.

I agree. I didnt know much about her before this election but I thought she seemed decent enough as a politician. It just shows how angry the American people were.

Yeah, if anyone took a look at his policies you can see that wasnt the case. His closest advisors are career politicians.

And career wall street people.

All hypocrisy aside, I'd much rather Jamie Dimon than...like Rand Paul or something. Dimon wants whats best for banks - for certain - but also would respect FED and data that US gov provides. Kinda relieved TBH.

Kirk lost because of Trump. Had to take a seat away from Republicans just in case. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Nothing against Kirk, its just a numbers game and that is what our country is now.

Well yeah, I'd rather get my cavity drilled out than be castrated while fully awake.

 

Chase was one of the main reasons for the recession, and he's literally the poster child for why Corporations shouldnt overpay CEO's

Unfortunately we'll have to use that analogy a lot.

Except he works for Goldman, not Chase.
