Billionaire and businessman Donald Trump, who had not previously been involved in politics, during the election campaign spoke a lot of excess. He scattered loud statements, not just in the epicenter scandalsrepeatedly changed my point of view on a number of issues. But this did not prevent him win a victory in the US presidential election.

Based on his speeches and promises, ForumDaily predicted what solutions can be expected from President Trump.

The first 100 days

During a speech in Gettysburg (Pennsylvania), Trump spoke about what he would do in first 100 days as president.

He said that he would impose restrictions on the lobbying activities of former White House employees and limit the terms of stay of congressmen and senators in parliament.

He is also going to cancel all payments to the UN climate change program. Trump plans to use these funds to restore infrastructure in the United States.

In addition, he intends to begin the deportation of 2 million migrants, whom he considers “criminals and illegal immigrants.”

Foreign policy

On the your official website Trump declared that he would fight ISIS. During public speeches, he repeatedly voiced compliments to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, even promised to consider the issue of the status of Crimea and, possibly, recognize it as the territory of Russia.

“We are spending billions of dollars on our so-called allies and yet we don’t even know exactly who these armed militants are that we support in Syria. Do we want to continue and open a new front, with Russia? I’m afraid that we should rather do something regarding Iran,” said Trump

Israel

Long before his political career, Donald Trump was an honored guest at the New York parades in honor of Israel’s Independence Day. Trump’s public hostility toward Muslims is also perceived by some as part of his pro-Israeli views.

However, during one of the debates, when asked directly which side he supported in the Arab-Israeli conflict, Trump avoided answering, calling himself a “neutral guy” in negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.

In addition, he stated that a peace treaty with the Palestinians is in Israel’s interests, and as the head of the White House, he will contribute in every way to the conclusion of this agreement.

At the same time, Donald Trump canceled his visit to Israel in 2015-2016, despite the fact that trips there have already become a kind of tradition for the leading candidates for the US presidency. Therefore, it is difficult to assess what Trump’s real steps will be towards Israel.

Taxes

Donald Trump plans to leave in the tax code total 4 rates: 0%, 10%, 20% and 25%. And also - abandon the property tax, the alternative minimum tax, and the tax on investment income.

He also plans to reduce taxes for all categories of the population: everyone will pay less - both the poor and the rich. Moreover, he wants to increase the number of citizens who are generally exempt from taxes. If now this group includes those who earn less than $ 12,6 thousand per year, then Trump wants to raise this line to $ 30 thousand of total family income. For single people, this amount will be $ 15 000.

“The Americans who love me most are poor and middle-income people,” he said Breitbart News Sunday.

According to the US Census Bureau, the average household income in 2015 was $ 55 775. Trump's tax plan will save them about $ 4 334, or 34%, compared to current legislation.

Medicine: Obamacare and abortion

«I will cancel as soon as I will become president“Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to repeal Obamacare, which requires all Americans to have health insurance. He proposes giving states the power to administer health care programs for the poor and establishing transparent pricing for drug companies.

In this case, 20 order of millions of US residents may lose their health insurance.

Trump's reform will not only increase the number of uninsured Americans from 24,9 million to 44,6 million in 2018 a year, but also increase Americans' spending on medical insurance, as well as lead to a federal budget deficit.

Trump - against abortion, and believes that abortion is possible only in the case of incest or rape.

Immigration and Deportation

To deport 2 immediately a million illegal migrants - this is the plan for the first 100 days of the Donald Trump presidency. He also wants to drastically reduce legal migration and revoke the automatic right to obtain US citizenship at birth.

Another point to which Trump promises to pay special attention is the observance of the law, which prohibits the hiring of obviously illegal residents of the United States. And for those who do not leave the country after the expiration of the visa, enter a criminal penalty.

Trump blamed illegal workers for the economic problems of America and took a tough stance on immigration, stating the need to deport 11 to millions of illegal immigrants.

Trump also wants to triple the number of agents patrolling the southern border of the United States and build a wall separating the States and Mexico.

Delivering a keynote speech to a crowd of thousands in Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, Trump laid out his plan to combat illegal immigrants in the US.

In particular, he said that there would be no more amnesty for illegal migrants.

Donald Trump offers:

• Create a "special deportation unit", which will deal with the expulsion from the country of arrested for crimes but not yet convicted immigrants.
• Cut off illegal immigrants all ways to obtain citizenship. Those who wish to remain in the United States on legal grounds must first return to their homeland.
• Introduce "meticulous security checks for immigrants" to ensure that they share American values.
• Protect the interests of African American and Hispanic workers - US citizens - by limiting immigration quotas.
• Apply tough measures against people with expired visas and subject them to deportation.

In his speech, Donald Trump expressed confidence that Mexico “by 100%” would pay for the construction of a wall on the border of the two countries.

Who is behind Trump

Trump's campaign changed key people several times, and those who left always left the team with a scandal.

The main man. Trump had several of them. First, the headquarters was led by Corey Lewandowski, a little-known conservative political technologist from New England, who had previously organized an election campaign (and its loser) for the only time. Then Lewandowski allowed himself to push away a journalist who was trying to ask Trump a question, received a lawsuit for it - and the rival forces at headquarters happily ate him.

In the late spring and summer of 2016, Trump’s campaign was Paul Manafort, a veteran political strategist who helped President Gerald Ford in 1970, and noted collaboration with a number of dubious foreign figures ranging from Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. The last one killed him: in July, several American media outlets, rummaging through Manafort’s Ukrainian past, found that Yanukovych’s notebook indicated payments to an adviser in cash, and that he was not quite legitimately lobbying the interests of the Party of Regions in the United States.

Manafort was replaced by Steve Bannon - the man whom Bloomberg called the organizer of a “big conservative plot”, and the head of the provocative right-wing online publication Breitbart, which is perhaps the only relatively large media that supported Trump at a very early stage. Bannon is also the creator of the non-profit organization “Institute for Government Accountability”. This organization, for example, has published a book, The Clinton's Cash, detailing and convincingly showing the dubious links between the Clinton Foundation and various governments and businessmen.

Trump family

Trump's wife, Slovenian-born model Melania Trump, has been in the media spotlight several times - for example, when she repeated verbatim parts of Michelle Obama's speech at the Republican National Convention; in addition, her half-naked photographs and the fact that for some time she may not have been in the United States legally (this is a particularly juicy detail, given Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric) were widely discussed.

However, as far as one can judge, she does not have much influence on her husband. But he has his daughter Ivanka - she is the only one in Trump’s circle who can somehow convince young and progressive people to vote for him. In her speech at the convention, Ivanka, who has her own successful clothing brand, spoke vividly about the fact that her father will fight for the rights of working women and generally has great respect for the opposite sex.

Apparently, Trump's son-in-law and Jared Kushner, the owner of The New York Observer, play an even more important role — it’s generally accepted that he organized regular palace coups at Trump’s headquarters, wrote several speeches to the candidate, organized his visit to Mexico, and also Much responsible for how the campaign was conducted in social media, that is, in fact, for the main information resource of Trump.
