Welp, there goes the American restaurant industry and all the service jobs with it...

Restaurant jobs put me through college and never once did I work with an illegal immigrant.

Pretty sure he's gonna spend the first 4 years learning the ropes.

Probably do a lot of crying when he finds that he can't just do what he wants without going through the proper channels.

NPR just reposted Trump's 100 day plan from October: http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/501451368/here-is-what-donald-trump-wants-to-do-in-his-first-100-days

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.​

term limits and trade deal canceling?

Oh it's better than that...term limits PLUS a 5 year ban on joining a lobbying firm! Not sure what you do for those 5 years...office job? Private practice?

Make America Great Again!

 

[Sonikku]

Just curious, but how do you propose balancing the budget, while at the same time repealing estate taxes? Please be specific. These details kind of matter at this point.

Gut public aid, make the concept of the pension a thing of the past, slash spending to education, infrastructure repairs, etc. End cost of living increases to Social Security. Pull spending out from under Obamacare and shift it to the military. The rest becomes self fulfilling prophecies.

 

[MrSquished]

wtf is wrong with pensions and infrastructure. That's what we need more of. we already spend over double of the world's total on military, far more than our next competitor China.

You are a fucking idiot that we need to shift more spending to the military. It's dumbfucks like you that make me sick about America.

 

[bshole]

The man certainly has a pair. The lobbyist industry is probably sweating bullets right now.

Save that list. The lobbyist industry will be absolutely fine. He will do less than NOTHING regarding that. I am not sure he even has the power and congress would certainly not vote to end the gravy train. I do love the some of the stuff on the list regarding lobbyists but I am certainly not fool enough to believe anything will ever be done about it other than to expand it. There is no way the monied class will ever permit such a thing. If need be they would probably go to court and get the Supremes to rule that such restrictions were unconstitutional.

 

[fskimospy]

Assuming Trump and Ryan/McConnell can see eye to eye, what will he accomplish before the mid-term election? Especially want to hear from those who voted for him...what would you like to see on the agenda?

My thoughts as to what he'll do:

- Appoint Supreme Court Justice
- New balanced budget initiative with moratorium on raising debt ceiling (thanks Paul and Newt)
- Defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood and start working repeal (replace?)
- Repeal Estate Taxes
- Cut foreign aid
- Reach agreements with Russia and Assad ending US support of Syrian rebels in exchange for limiting Iranian influence and collaboration against ISIS in Iraq
- Scrap TPP, start reworking NAFTA, and focus on bilateral trade agreements with UK, Russia and perhaps India and certain Latin American countries not named Mexico.
- Restrictive trade tariffs on Mexico, Japan and China
- Some sort of infrastructure program (funded by???)

He points out that Trump & the Repubs are the idiots. Well, not idiots in the top down class warfare of supply side economics.

Check out the real results of his wonderful tax plan-

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/analysis-donald-trumps-tax-plan/full

The bulk of the cuts go to the top 1% & will send deficits through the roof w/o drastic cuts in spending.

 

[glenn1]

You know what beats a 40ft wall? A 41ft rope.

That's what landmines are for.

But in all honesty the current approach is the most immoral thing the U.S. could do. We need to choose to either make it a completely open border or you do what other countries do and savagely enforce your borders like the Mexicans do. No more of this half-assed, "well maybe you can stay but only if you work for $3/hour and at constant risk of deportation." People who aren't citizens deserve the certainty of knowing either they will 100% be allowed to stay or 100% will be deported.

[lopri]

oops, sorry wrong thread.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I don't really see a purpose for having mandatory term limits tbh. Being a "career politician" doesn't mean you're corrupt. The one good aspect is that it forces change and requires voters to be a little less disinterested in the electoral process, but it's not a guarantee that a new incoming congressperson will always be up to par with a successful older one.

 

[lopri]

The problem with modern election is that the moment you are elected your next race begins, meaning you have to raise money. A lot of money. The rest follows naturally.

I am for moderate term limits, but I acknowledge that things get hairy quickly. (e.g. can you retire and come back?)

 

[agent00f]

Trump doesn't need to do shit since all he need to do to rile up the troops is mouth off about some minorities.

He's going to be spending any free time trying to figure out how to funnel money to himself/family like every other despot in that mold before him.

Americans are so fucking naive it's comical.

 

[momeNt]

Holy shit at this list. How come NPR didn't release this until AFTER the election?

This man is insane? This has extreme economic depression and probably world war 3 written all over it. China annexes the US inside of 12 years.
