President Donald J. Trump Declares War on Cartels
As Joe Biden prepares to make his first-ever trip to the southern border that he deliberately erased, President Trump announced that when he is president again, it will be the official policy of the United States to take down the drug cartels just as we took down ISIS.
“The drug cartels are waging war on America—and it’s now time for America to wage war on the cartels,” President Trump said. “The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration have the blood of countless millions on their hands. Millions and millions of families and people are being destroyed. When I am back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again.”
President Donald J. Trump’s Plan to Destroy the Drug Cartels
“The drug cartels are waging war on America—and it’s now time for America to wage war on the cartels.” – Donald J. Trump
President Trump laid out an aggressive plan to dismantle the criminal trafficking networks that are destroying lives and communities on both sides of the border.
TRUMP ACTION PLAN TO DESTROY THE DRUG CARTELS:
- Restore all Trump border policies and fully secure border
- Deploy all necessary military assets, including the U.S. Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels, to ensure they cannot use our region’s waters to traffic illicit drugs to the U.S.
- Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces, cyber warfare, and other covert and overt actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations
- Designate the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations
- Cut off the cartels’ access to the global financial system
- Get full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the cartels, or else fully expose the bribes and corruption that protect these criminal networks
- Ask Congress to ensure drug smugglers and traffickers can receive the Death Penalty
BIDEN’S DEADLY DESTRUCTION OF OUR BORDER: Joe Biden has spent the last two years dismantling the southern border. Biden’s Open Borders policies are killing innocent Americans, ravaging American communities, enriching the cartels, and destabilizing large parts of Mexico and Latin America.
- Since Joe Biden took office, an estimated 200,000+ Americans have died from drug overdoses.
- Hundreds of thousands of pounds of ultra-lethal fentanyl, heroin, meth, cocaine, and other illicit narcotics are pouring across our wide-open border and into American communities. Federal officials estimate that they only seize up to 10% of these drugs.
- Enough fentanyl was seized at the border last year to kill every single American.
- Biden inherited the strongest border in U.S. history, and turned it into the greatest border disaster in the history of the world.
- Biden stopped wall construction, gutted Remain in Mexico, ripped up asylum cooperation agreements, imposed catch-and-release across the entire southern border, slandered and attacked border agents, announced the cancelation of Title 42, and effectively abolished interior enforcement.
- Drug cartels and human smugglers have seen their revenue skyrocket by an estimated 2,500%, netting $13 billion this year. Trafficking illegal alien migrants is now a major source of revenue for the drug cartels.
- Fueled in major part by Biden’s border disaster, the number of Americans killed due to fentanyl increased by 94% since 2019, and fentanyl poisoning has become the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.
BIDEN’S PRO-CARTEL BORDER POLICIES ARE ALSO DEVESTATING MEXICO:
- Reports of torture in Mexico have doubled, and reports of violence by criminal groups against authorities or large crowds rose 756% in the first half of 2022 compared to the previous year.
- In Mexico, over 100,000 civilians are missing or murdered at the hands of the cartels, with an average of 25 Mexican citizens disappearing every day.
- Cartels have destabilized Mexico by bribing officials at all levels of government, assassinating journalists and public servants, and mass murdering political candidates.
- Biden’s actions are pushing vulnerable migrant women and children into the arms of the most vicious, violent, and predatory criminal networks on earth.
- Arrests for human smuggling increased by 82% since 2014, and an estimated 60% of unaccompanied Latin American children who attempt to cross the border are captured by cartels and abused in child pornography or drug trafficking.
BOTTOM LINE: Biden has destroyed the border—President Trump will destroy the cartels.
TRANSCRIPT
Fentanyl, heroin, meth, and other lethal drugs are pouring across our wide-open border, stealing hundreds of thousands of beautiful American lives — and it’s happening like never before in our history. Children are being left without parents. Families are being ripped apart. Communities are being decimated. Our neighbors and fellow citizens are having their entire worlds destroyed — destroyed like nobody thought possible. Our country is being POISONED from within by the drugs and by all of the other crime that’s taking place.
The drug cartels are waging war on America—and it’s now time for America to wage war on the cartels. In this war, Joe Biden has sided AGAINST the United States, and WITH the cartels. They are making more money than they’ve ever made before, times ten. There’s never been anything like it. They’re major, major companies — they’re bigger than even some of our biggest companies. Biden’s Open Border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation.
When I am President, it will be the policy of the United States to take down the cartels just as we took down ISIS and the ISIS caliphate — and just as, unlike the situation we are in today, we had a very very strong border. The strongest border in fact in the history of our country. And drugs were at a low of 45 years. There’s been nothing like what we did just two years ago. We will show NO MERCY to the cartels.
- Every day, drug traffickers are using the waters of our region to ship their lethal poisons to America killing so many of our people and ruining families. In addition to restoring strong border security, I will deploy all necessary military assets, including the U.S. Navy, to impose the full naval embargo on the cartels. I did that before and it worked — what we did was incredible. We will guarantee that the waters of the western hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country.
- Furthermore, I will order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces, cyber warfare, and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations.
- I will designate the major cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. We will sever their access to global financial systems.
- I will also work to forge an unprecedented partnership with neighboring governments in our region. Just like I did in Mexico. And remember, in Mexico alone, an estimated 100,000 civilians have been tragically murdered or gone missing at the hands of these cartels. The Mexican government — run by a very fine man, the President — is really working hard, but it’s not working out. These cartels are vicious, and they’re violent, and they have Mexico, for now, stymied. Well, we have to help Mexico and we have to stymied the cartels. Either we will get the full cooperation of other governments to stop this menace—or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign. And it is indeed brutal.
- Finally, as I have said before, I will ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the Death Penalty.
The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration have the blood of countless millions on their hands. Millions and millions of families and people are being destroyed. When I am back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again. We did it once, and we did it better than anybody else. There’s never been a better border than we had just two years ago. It was strong, it was powerful, and it was respected all over the world. And now we’re laughed at all over the world. And we’re not going to let that happen much longer. We have to take over, we have to be tough, we have to be smart, we have to be fair. But if we don’t do something immediately, our country is gone.
Ending Veteran Homelessness in America
On Day One, President Donald J. Trump will sign an Executive Order to cut off Joe Biden’s massive spigot of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens and redirect those savings to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American Veterans.
TRANSCRIPT
Under Crooked Joe Biden, the U.S. government has spent nearly $1 billion to house illegal aliens and foreign migrants in expensive luxury hotels courtesy of you, the American taxpayer, and they want to spend billions and billions more.
In many states we’re running out of hotel space because the rooms are all booked up with illegal aliens living in a very large way on the American taxpayer’s dime. Meanwhile, we have 33,000 Veterans in this country who are homeless, and living very poorly I might add, and it’s a shame. They’re living in filth and squalor on our streets. Nobody is doing a thing for them. We helped them a lot during my four years and it’s all been dropped. Everything we did for our Veterans has been dropped. It’s a disgrace.
Joe Biden puts illegal aliens before homeless Veterans and we cannot let this happen any longer. The American Veteran is one of our greats. These are great, great people. We have to take care of them.
When I am reelected, this national scandal will end. On Day One, I will sign an Executive Order to cut off Joe Biden’s massive spigot of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens and redirect a portion of those savings, a very large portion I might add, to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American Veterans. I will make it a personal mission to totally eradicate Veterans’ homelessness in America by the end of next term. You’ll see a big difference, just like you did at the VA, just like you did with frankly everything we touched. The border was the best border we’ve ever had. We were energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant. Our country was doing great. We had no inflation. We had the best economy in history. We’re going to take care of our Veterans.
If you have served this nation in uniform, the Trump administration will never betray you as Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats have done. They have truly betrayed you. Anybody voting for a Democrat is very foolish. Very, very foolish. We certainly will not be putting illegal alien lawbreakers up in ultimate luxury while American Veterans lay shivering on the sidewalks below. Unlike Biden, our loyalty will not be to illegal aliens who have violated our borders and come into our country illegally. They’ve trampled our sovereignty. It will be to the brave men and women who enlisted their lives to defend our borders and to protect our sovereignty.
We’re going to take care of our Veterans.
No Welfare for Illegal Aliens
President Donald J. Trump announces steps he will take on Day One to end welfare for illegal immigrations and shut down Joe Biden’s abuse of parole authority.
TRANSCRIPT
Crooked Joe Biden is running a non-stop conveyor belt importing illegal aliens from all over the world into our country and the Biden Department of Homeland Security is abusing its so-called parole authority to give them more governmental benefits than many law-abiding citizens, including our Vets. Our Vets are being taken advantage of. Our citizens are being taken advantage of. It’s very unfair. And it’s not going to stand.
Under this horrendous abuse of power, millions of illegals will be eligible for billions and billions of dollars in welfare benefits courtesy of you the American taxpayer. So not only is Crooked Joe surrendering your borders and your sovereignty, he is stealing your hard-earned money to redistribute it to people who have no business being in our country. They should be in their country. This is not sustainable by anybody, certainly not sustainable by us.
The United States is trillions of dollars in debt, yet the radical left Democrats are illegally dispensing public benefits to illegals while they try to massively raise your taxes. The radical left communists hate you, and they hate our Middle Class. Under Biden’s scheme, the benefits that will go to illegal aliens include food stamps, free healthcare, welfare checks, and a host of other programs the likes of which you would not even believe.
In addition, Biden is also giving illegal aliens work permits to take jobs away from American citizens.
And then if they have children, not only do the children get automatic citizenship, but they unlock a trove of additional government benefits flowing to illegal immigrant households. In the meantime, our Vets suffer and our citizens suffer. On Day One of my new Administration, we will shut down this travesty and defend the wealth of hardworking Middle-Class families.
I will stop the outrageous abuse of parole authority. I will reinstate my action making illegals ineligible for public housing. We will terminate all work permits for illegal aliens. And I will demand that Congress send me a bill blocking any future President from abusing his power to distribute welfare benefits in this manner. It’s all being paid for by the American taxpayer.
Like automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens, welfare is a gigantic magnet drawing people from all over the world. They want to come to the United States. They want to feast off the sweat and savings of the American taxpayer. It’s not fair. It’s not just. We’re not going to let it happen. I will end it all immediately.
The American Academy
President Donald J. Trump will endow the American Academy with the billions we will collect by taxing the large endowments of private universities plagued by antisemitism.
TRANSCRIPT
In recent weeks, Americans have been horrified to see students and faculty at Harvard and other once-respected universities expressing support for the savages and jihadists who attacked Israel. We spend more money on higher education than any other country, and yet they’re turning our students into Communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions — we can’t let this happen. It’s time to offer something dramatically different.
Under the plan I’m announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new institution called the American Academy.
Its mission will be to make a truly world-class education available to every American, free of charge, and do it without adding a single dime to the federal debt. This institution will gather an entire universe of the highest quality educational content, covering the full spectrum of human knowledge and skills, and make that material available to every American citizen online for free.
Whether you want lectures or an ancient history or an introduction to financial accounting, or training in a skilled trade, the goal will be to deliver it and get it done properly, using study groups, mentors, industry partnerships, and the latest breakthrough in computing. This will be a truly top-tier education option for the people.
It will be strictly non-political, and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed—none of that’s going to be allowed.
Most importantly, the American Academy will compete directly with the existing and very costly four-year university system by granting students degree credentials that the U.S. government and all federal contractors will henceforth recognize. The Academy will award the full and complete equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.
In addition to help the 40 million Americans who have some college education but no degree, the American Academy will grant credit for past coursework at legacy institutions and give you the chance to complete your education at the American Academy for free and much more quickly than is now possible or available.
This will be a revolution in higher education and will provide life-changing opportunities for tens of millions of our citizens.
President Trump’s Message to America’s Auto Workers
Bedminster, NJ — President Donald J. Trump released a video message to America’s auto workers.
“What’s happening to our auto workers is an absolute disgrace and an outrage beyond belief,” President Trump said. “Auto workers are getting totally ripped off by Crooked Joe Biden and also their horrendous leadership.”
TRANSCRIPT
What’s happening to our auto workers is an absolute disgrace and an outrage beyond belief. Auto workers are getting totally ripped off by Crooked Joe Biden and also their horrendous leadership. Because these people are allowing our country to do these electric vehicles that very few people want. And it’s a mandate so you’ll ultimately be forced to drive in a car that goes for an hour and then you have to have it recharged. I hope you don’t want to go very far away.
Biden has imposed the outlandish requirement that 67% of all new vehicles must be electric in less than ten years. That means Michigan and places that make cars you can forget about it, you better get your union working because you can forget about. Those cars are all going to be made in China.
According to the UAW president himself, one auto company CEO used the word brutality over 40 times in a single conversation to describe Joe Biden. I call him Crooked Joe because he’s the most corrupt president in history. He’s also the most incompetent.
But Joe Biden’s cruel and foolish electric vehicle mandate. That’s how bad this policy is. Your union heads know it. But the union bosses don’t want to do anything about it because they’re not leaders. But you know who is voting for me? The people in the union.
The union heads and Crooked Joe keep using the phrase fair transition. There’s no fair transition. First of all, people don’t want the electric car. And the ones that want it should get it. But we want to have all forms of transportation and all forms of motorization, to describe this unnecessary forced transition to electric vehicles.
But there’s no such thing as a fair transition that destroys over 100,000 auto manufacturing jobs (it will be much more than that), wastes tens of billions of dollars that should be going to the workers, and makes new cars entirely unaffordable.
For the middle class, that’s a transition to hell. You’re going to hell and your bosses are leading you right down the tubes. You shouldn’t pay your fees. They get these big fees from all of their workers.
And it doesn’t matter how bad they are, they’ll endorse a Democrat, even though the Democrats selling you down the tubes.
Both the UAW bosses and the big three auto executives should be screaming at the top of their lungs – they should be ashamed of themselves — demanding that Joe Biden cancel his brutal electric vehicle mandate before it destroys the entire U.S. auto sector.
If the union bosses and the CEOs refuse to fight back against Crooked Joe Biden, by forcing him to repeal this disastrous electric car scheme, then you will know they’re not pro-worker, they’re not on your side, they’ve got some deals going for themselves.
And I’m telling you, you shouldn’t pay those dues. You should not pay your dues because they’re selling you to hell. You’re going to be going to hell. You’re not going to have any jobs. All those cars are going to be made in China. Every one of them. You can forget it, Michigan. You can forget it, South Carolina. You can forget it, everybody. All of those cars are going to be made in China.
We sit on liquid gold, and we’re getting rid of combustion engines. And they sit on all of the other materials that you need for the batteries. They’re going to make all those cars. We’re not going to make any of them.
So to every auto worker, I stand in total solidarity with you in your fight against Joe Biden’s job-killing Green New Deal insanity. It’s insanity. When I am your president, I will deliver higher wages for auto workers. I will protect your jobs. I will end Joe Biden’s catastrophic electric vehicle mandate. And by the way, if you want an electric car, you’re going to get it. But you’re going to be able to get all other types of cars, types of vehicles that you want.
And on day one, you’re going to be back in business with me. And those factories are going to start opening up again. Remember when I got elected, I told you all about this in the campaign. And when I got elected, hardly a car company built outside of this country. I stopped it.
They didn’t go to Mexico anymore. I said if you go to Mexico, I’m putting a big tariff. You’ll make a car you’re going to have a 25% tariff if you send that car back into the United States. I stopped it. Well, right now they’re doing it again, worse than ever before. We lost 32% of our industry to Mexico prior to my getting there. And we lost almost nothing. Nothing. In fact, we were taking back our industry. But now it’s going again. I’ll straighten it out.
But you have to vote for Trump. You have to vote for Trump. You can’t listen to these union guys who get paid a lot of money and they get wined and dined in Washington. They know that electric cars are no good in terms of our workers.
So vote for Republicans but vote for Trump. Because if we don’t win this election, our country, not only in terms of auto workers, our country will go to hell.
President Trump’s Pledge to Homeschool Families
Bedminster, NJ — In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump promised to serve as a champion for America’s homeschool families.
“As President, it was my honor to support America’s homeschool families—and to protect the God-given right of every parent to be the steward of their children’s education,” President Trump said.
President Trump pledged to allow homeschool parents to use 529 education savings accounts to spend up to $10,000 a year per child, completely tax-free to spend on costs associated with homeschool education.
President Trump will also work to ensure that every homeschool family is entitled to full access to the benefits available to non-homeschooled students—including participating in athletic programs, clubs, after school activities, educational trips, and more.
TRANSCRIPT
As President, it was my honor to support America’s homeschool families—and to protect the God-given right of every parent to be the steward of their children’s education.
Since the China Virus, America has seen an estimated 30 PERCENT increase in homeschool enrollment.
When I am reelected, I will do everything I can to support parents who make the courageous choice of homeschool.
Under the Trump tax cuts, we allowed families to use 529 Education Savings Accounts to spend up to $10,000 a year tax free on tuition for grades K through 12. This was a tremendous win for School Choice — very important, school choice, remember that term —and yet, that benefit did not apply to homeschoolers.
So to support the growing homeschool movement, in my next term, I will immediately fight to allow homeschool parents the same incredible benefit–$10,000 a year per child, completely tax free to spend on costs associated with homeschool education.
I will also work to ensure that every homeschool family is entitled to full access to the benefits available to non-homeschooled students—including participating in athletic programs, clubs, after school activities, educational trips, and more.
To every homeschool family, I will be your champion.
Do not vote Democrat. They are looking to destroy you if you don’t mind my saying that. Joe Biden can’t put two sentences together and yet he is looking to destroy you. Do not vote Democrat. Do not vote for Crooked Joe.
President Trump’s Ten Principles For Great Schools Leading To Great Jobs
Bedminster, NJ — In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his ten principles for achieving great schools that lead to great jobs.
“Rather than indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material, which is what we’re doing now, our schools must be totally refocused to prepare our children to succeed in the world of work,” President Trump said.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TEN PRINCIPLES FOR GREAT SCHOOLS LEADING TO GREAT JOBS
President Trump believes that we owe our children great schools that lead to great jobs, which will lead to an even greater country than we’re living in right now. To that end, President Trump will work to ensure that a top priority of every school is to prepare students for jobs.
In connection with totally refocusing schools on succeeding in the world of work, President Trump pledges to close the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. and to send all education work and needs back to the States.
*****
TEN PRINCIPLES TO POWER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MOVEMENT FOR GREAT SCHOOLS LEADING TO GREAT JOBS
Restoring Parental Rights
President Trump will turn back the tide of left-wing indoctrination and once again respect the fundamental right of parents to control the education, healthcare, and moral formation of their children.
President Trump supports the right of parents to know what their children are being taught in the classroom, to be able to openly communicate any of their concerns with teachers and principals, to protect the privacy of their children, to be made aware of changing academic standards, to be updated on any acts of violence occurring at school, to inspect professional development materials, to be notified before an out-of-school guest speaks in class or at a school event, to review the budget and spending of their children’s school, to know if a school employee is working to address bullying or mental health concerns (including drug use or weapon use), to consent to all student surveys related to health, to have the right to opt out of school healthcare services, and to be immediately notified if a teacher or other school employee has worked to change their children’s name, pronouns, or understanding of his or her gender.
President Trump will immediately reverse Joe Biden’s barbaric “gender-affirming care” policies, and he will sign an executive order instructing every federal agency, including the Department of Education, to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition, at any age.
President Trump will declare any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare.
President Trump will also inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences—including potential civil rights violations for sex discrimination and the elimination of federal funding.
President Trump will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.
President Trump will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female—and they are determined at birth.
President Trump will also make clear that Title Nine prohibits men from participating in women’s sports.
Great Principals and Great Teachers
Great schools require great teachers—and great teachers demand great principals. To ensure children are receiving the education they deserve, President Trump will encourage parents and local school boards to hire and reward great principals and teachers—and to fire poorly performing ones.
To ensure that America’s students are receiving the best possible education, President Trump will support the direct election of school principals by the parents. If any principal is not performing to a high standard, parents should have the right to fire them and select someone who will.
A 2022 study from the University of North Carolina School of Education found that efforts to “recruit and retain high-performing principals are likely to have large payoffs.” A study by the National Association of Secondary School Principals showed that school leadership is “second only to classroom instruction as an influence on student learning”—or as another study from Stronge & Associates Educational Consulting put it, “There is no high-performing school without an effective principal… Principal leadership matters. And it matters substantially.”
Furthermore, according to the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research, “schools with the highest learning gains had principals who promoted a strong school climate.” Great principals empower great teachers—and great teachers empower great students.
To reward good teachers, President Trump will implement funding preferences and favorable treatment for states and school districts that abolish teacher tenure for grades K-12, adopt Merit Pay to reward good teachers, and give parents the right to vote for the principals who direct their children’s education.
Knowledge and Skills, Not CRT and Gender Indoctrination
President Trump will get Critical Race Theory, transgender ideology, and left-wing indoctrination OUT of our schools—and he will get reading, writing, and arithmetic back IN, so that America’s young people have the knowledge, skills, and training they need to get a great job and lead a successful career.
A study from American College Testing found that students proficient in core subjects—including math and reading—have higher “workplace employability skills that are critical to job success.”
Another study from the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that “those who don’t read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to leave school without a diploma than proficient readers.”
Under Joe Biden, too many of America’s schools have devolved into left-wing indoctrination centers where students are underperforming, mental health is worsening, in-school violence is spiraling out of control, and political activists in the classroom are teaching our children a one-sided and distorted view of American history.
As a result of Biden’s school closures, eighth-grade mathematics scores declined in every single state last year.
Biden’s school shutdowns more negatively affected female students, who underperformed male students in both fourth and eighth grades.
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, as of 2022, only 35% of fourth graders and 26% of eighth graders are proficient in mathematics.
Under Joe Biden, scores in reading have fallen by the largest margin in more than 30 years.
The Biden administration’s policy extending school closures worsened the mental health crisis among young people. Tragically, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows that emergency room visits for suspected suicide attempts spiked among girls ages 12 to 17 in 2021, an increase of 51% from 2019.
In 2021, nearly 1 in 5 high school students seriously considered suicide.
President Trump will cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children—and he will pursue civil rights investigations into any school that engages in race-based discrimination.
President Trump will get the left’s “equity” agenda out of our classrooms—and he will get Excellence back IN to our classrooms. On his first day back in office, President Trump will immediately revoke Joe Biden’s sinister executive order mandating that federal departments establish an “equity” enforcement squad to implement a Marxist takeover of the federal government—and he will urge Congress to create a restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by such “equity” policies.
Love of Country
Just as he did during his first term, President Trump will fight for patriotic education in America’s schools. Notwithstanding that America’s founding principles of liberty and equality have successfully guided the United States throughout the most difficult periods in its history—including the long struggle to abolish slavery, our victories over fascism and communism, the advancement of civil rights for all, and the expansion of material prosperity to more people of every background in a remarkably short period of time—decades of poor scholarship have vilified our Founders and the principles that they championed and have taught many of our young people to hate their own country.
But as America’s history has shown, the path to a restored and strengthened unity can be found through the rediscovery of a shared national identity rooted in our Founding principles and an appreciation of our wonderful American heroes. President Trump will ensure our children know the truth about the American Founding, learn the stories of our remarkable heroes, discover the glories of Western Civilization, and come to appreciate the United States as the freest, most prosperous, and most virtuous nation in the history of the world.
President Trump will reinstate the 1776 Commission, which he originally created but was disbanded by Joe Biden on his first day in office, to ensure America’s children learn the truth about their country’s history and the timeless principles of liberty and equality. Furthermore, the Commission will support President Trump’s pledge to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s Founding on July 4, 1776, with a yearlong celebration as well as the construction of the National Garden of American Heroes.
President Trump will veto any effort to weaponize or nationalize civics education. And he will create a credentialing body to certify teachers who embrace patriotic values and support the American Way of Life.
Freedom to Pray
President Trump will once again fiercely protect the First Amendment right to pray in public schools—and he will ensure that every American’s fundamental right to the Free Exercise of Religion does NOT end when you walk into a classroom.
When he is back in office, President Trump will again be a champion for the fundamental right to pray in school.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the White House updated federal guidance regarding protected prayer and religious expression in public schools, which had not been issued since 2003.
Just as he did during his first term, President Trump will ensure that to receive federal funds, local educational agencies must confirm that their policies do not prevent or interfere with constitutionally protected rights. President Trump’s guidance streamlined students’ ability to file a complaint if their rights were being violated and guaranteed that students could read religious texts or pray during recess and other non-instructional periods.
Safe, Secure, and Drug-Free
Greatness in the classroom requires safety in the classroom. To that end, President Trump will completely overhaul federal standards on school discipline to get out-of-control troublemakers OUT of the classroom and INTO reform schools and corrections facilities, for the good of themselves and their peers alike. This will include supporting immediate expulsion for any student who harms a teacher or another student.
President Trump will end the leftist takeover of school discipline and the juvenile system. He will order the Departments of Justice and Education to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors to get violent thugs out of our children’s classrooms so they can get the professional help they need. When troubled youth are out of control, the consequences must be “swift, certain, and strong.”
President Trump will support school districts that allow highly trained teachers to carry concealed weapons at school, which will greatly reduce the threat of school shootings.
To further harden our schools against harm from outside intruders, President Trump will support federal funding to hire veterans, retired police officers, and other trained gunowners as armed guards in our nation’s schools—a measure that will help deter unhinged maniacs and keep our nation’s children out of harm’s way.
As he previously announced, President Trump will direct the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to convene an independent outside panel to investigate whether transgender hormone treatments and ideology increase the risk of extreme depression, aggression, and violence. He will also look at whether common psychiatric drugs, as well as genetically engineered cannabis and other narcotics, are causing psychotic breaks.
President Trump will encourage local school districts to implement a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy regarding illegal drug use or possession in school with immediate suspension or expulsion.
Universal School Choice
President Trump supports universal school choice so that parents can send their children to the public, private, or religious school that best suits their needs, their goals, and their values.
President Trump commends Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, and West Virginia for leading the American school choice revolution—and he looks forward to working with other states, as well as the U.S. Congress, to provide for universal school choice for every American family.
Freedom in education increases school accountability. A Heritage Foundation report found that school choice creates a “feedback loop that does not exist in the more centralized, top-down systems like the district schools.”
School choice leads to higher graduation rates, higher parental satisfaction and involvement, lower costs, increased competition among schools, and higher reading and math test scores.
School safety has been a top-three reason cited by parents who exercised their right to school choice. In Milwaukee, school choice participants were half as likely to commit felonies and misdemeanors as those who attended public schools.
Project-Based Learning
America’s students are more successful, more engaged, and more prepared for real-world experience when their education involves hands-on projects that aim to approximate what real-world work situations will demand of them. President Trump will support project-based learning inside the classroom to help train students for fulfilling work outside the classroom.
Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education defines project-based learning as a way to “develop deep conceptual understanding of abstract concepts” by seeing how those concepts “actually operate in the real world”—because in order to be successful, “students need to do more than just read textbooks or listen in lecture halls.”
In a project-based learning setting, students work to solve problems that, in the words of Harvard’s Graduate School, “can only be solved if they deeply understand what is to be learned in the class.”
Elements of project-based learning include student engagement, more meaningful learning, exposure to professional career paths, and more active relationships with teachers.
The results of project-based learning have been overwhelmingly positive. A 2021 report from Lucas Education Research found that students in project-based learning environments vastly outperform other students.
Internships and Work Experiences
For many students, the path to a great job is a great internship or part-time work. For that reason, President Trump will implement funding preferences for schools that actively work to help students secure internships, part-time work, and summer jobs that will set them on the path to long and fulfilling careers.
According to XQ Institute, 67% of students don’t think high school is doing enough to prepare them for their careers—a view shared by 93% of teachers, parents, and other non-students. But evidence shows that a career-focused high school experience yields positive results.
The Society for Human Resource Management found the majority of employers agree that students need to begin their focus on their career in high school—including by competing for internships.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 95% of employers said candidate experience is a factor in hiring practices.
As one high school student transition coordinator put it, project- and work-based learning “motivates students to stay in school and improve their grades and attendance. It improves employability skills and makes students aware of nontraditional career opportunities.”
According to a report published by MDRC, “a long-term study of high school career academies, which combined technicalcareer education with an academic curriculum and provided some students with internships with local employers, found that these programs had large, positive impacts on students’ labor market outcomes eight years later.”
Cornerstone Schools in Detroit, MI, a charter school system established in the 1990s, provides a unique model for a career-centered education with opportunities like high school internships, mentorships, and learning experiences with major companies.
Another education model that prioritizes meaningful work experience is Cristo Rey, a Catholic school network that “delivers a career focused, college preparatory education in the Catholic tradition for students with limited economic resources, uniquely integrating rigorous academic curricula with four years of professional work experience and support to and through college.” As education policy analyst and former senior Manhattan Institute fellow Charles Upton Sahm observed of the Cristo Rey model’s work-study program, it “operates, in essence, like a small employment agency”—with firms contracting with Cristo Rey to staff entry-level jobs with each student working five days a month in addition to their schoolwork. The program, Sahm wrote, “helps students build impressive credentials and contacts” as well as develop their “confidence and self-worth.”
Jobs and Career Counseling
President Trump will implement funding preferences for schools with job and career counselors on-hand—because getting a great job best suited to your God-given talents should be a primary goal of education.
According to the National Career Development Association (NCDA), school counselors can play a vital role in “helping students identify their life’s purpose.” Having a purpose, NCDA finds, “can be highly motivating and encourage students to develop skills and persistence towards meaningful education, life, and career goals.”
The American School Counselor Association School found that high school and college “counselors improve their service to their students when they understand [career technical education (CTE)] offers numerous benefits, including rigorous programs of study, academic and CTE curriculum and productive relationships within the business community. These advantages serve as effective means that school counselors can use to help all students make informed career decisions.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF FIGHTING FOR AMERICAN PARENTS AND STUDENTS AT EVERY LEVEL
The Trump administration restored state and local control of education by faithfully implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act, which prohibits the U.S. Department of Education from “attempting to influence, incentivize, or coerce a state to adopt the Common Core State Standards or any other academic standards common to a significant number of states.”
President Trump signed into law the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, which provides more than 13 million students with high-quality vocational education and extends more than $1.3 billion each year to states for critical workforce development programs.
President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, expanding school choice, allowing parents to use up to $10,000 from a 529 education savings account to cover K-12 tuition costs at the public, private, or religious school of their choice.
President Trump repealed the Obama-Biden administration’s “Rethink School Discipline” policies.
The Trump White House issued a rule strengthening Title IX protections for survivors of sexual misconduct in schools, and that—for the first time in history—codified that sexual harassment is prohibited under Title IX.
President Trump signed the INSPIRE Act, which encouraged NASA to have more women and girls participate in STEM and seek careers in aerospace and allocated no less than $200 million each year in grants to prioritize women and minorities in STEM and computer science education.
The Trump administration prohibited the teaching of Critical Race Theory across agencies of the federal government.
In 2020, President Trump created the 1776 Commission to “better enable a rising generation to understand the history and principles of the founding of the United States in 1776, and, through this, form a more perfect Union.” And in January 2021, the Commission released the “1776 Report,” which calls for the nation to “renew the pride and gratitude we have for this incredible nation that we are blessed to call home” and concludes by noting that “[w]hen we appreciate America for what she truly is, we know that our Declaration is worth preserving, our Constitution worth defending, our fellow citizens worth loving, and our country worth fighting for.”
President Trump issued updated guidance making clear that the First Amendment right to Free Exercise of Religion does not end at the door to a public school.
President Trump made permanent a commitment of $255 million in annual funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and he increased funding for the Federal Pell Grant program by signing the FUTURE Act.
President Trump signed legislation that included more than $100 million for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HBCU land-grant institutions.
In 2018, President Trump fully forgave $322 million in disaster loans to four HBCUs, so they could fully focus on educating their students.
President Trump signed an executive order ensuring that public universities protect First Amendment rights or lose funding, addressing student debt by requiring colleges to share a portion of the financial risk, and increasing transparency by requiring universities to disclose information about the value of potential educational programs.
President Trump called on Congress to pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act to expand education options for 1 million students of all economic backgrounds.
TRANSCRIPT
The United States spends more money on education than any other country in the world. And yet, we get the worst outcomes. We are at the bottom of every list. In total, American society pours more than a trillion dollars a year into public education systems. But instead of being at the top of the list, we are literally right smack — guess what? — at the bottom.
Rather than indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material, which is what we’re doing now, our schools must be totally refocused to prepare our children to succeed in the world of work, and in life and the world of keeping our country strong, so they can grow up to be happy, prosperous, and independent citizens.
We owe our children great schools that lead to great jobs, and leads to an even greater country than we’re living in right now. Right now we’re living in a failing nation because of Joe Biden and these people running it. They’re Marxists. They’re communists. What they’re doing to our country is incredible, but we’ll take care of that for our children.
Here are ten key ideas that will power our movement for great schools.
First, we will respect the right of parents to control the education of their children.
Second, we will empower parents and local school boards to hire and reward great principals and teachers, and also to fire the poor ones. The ones whose performance is unsatisfactory they will be fired. Like on The Apprentice, you’re fired.
Third, we will ensure our classrooms are focused not on political indoctrination, but on teaching the knowledge and skills needed to succeed — reading, writing, math, science, arithmetic, and other truly useful subjects.
Fourth, we will teach students to love their country, not to hate their country like they’re taught right now.
Fifth, we will support bringing back prayer to our schools.
Sixth, we will achieve schools that are safe, secure, and drug free, with immediate expulsion for any student who harms a teacher or another student.
Seventh, we will give all parents the right to choose another school for their children if they want. It’s called school choice.
Eighth, we will ensure students have access to project-based learning experiences inside the classroom to help train them for meaningful work outside the classroom.
Ninth, we will strive to give all students access to internships and work experiences that can set them on a path to their first job. They are going to be very, very successful. I want them to be more successful than Trump. Let them go out and be more successful. I will be the happiest person in the world. But we want our children to have a great life and be successful.
And tenth, we will ensure that all schools provide excellent jobs and career counseling so that high school and college students can get a head start on jobs and careers best suited to their God-given talents.
This is how we will ensure a great education for every American child.
And one other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington D.C. and sending all education and education work and needs back to the States. We want them to run the education of our children, because they’ll do a much better job of it. You can’t do worse. We spend more money per pupil, by three times, than any other nation. And yet we’re absolutely at the bottom. We’re one of the worst. So you can’t do worse. We’re going to end education coming out of Washington D.C. We’re going to close it up — all those buildings all over the place and yet people that in many cases hate our children. We’re going to send it all back to the States.
America Must Have the #1 Lowest Cost Energy and Electricity on Earth
Bedminster, NJ — In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to bring Americans the lowest-cost energy and electricity on Earth.
“As President, I will set a national goal of ensuring that America has the No. 1 lowest cost of energy of any industrial country anywhere on Earth,” President Trump said. “We will not only match China we will be cheaper than China by a lot. And more energy will mean lower inflation that will mean more jobs.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN FOR THE UNITED STATES TO HAVE THE #1 LOWEST COST OF ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY WILL LOWER INFLATION, RESTORE AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, AND EVEN ENERGY DOMINANCE, AND ALLOW THE UNITED STATES TO BECOME THE MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER OF THE WORLD
President Trump will once again unleash American Energy.
On Day One, President Trump will rescind every one of Joe Biden’s industry-killing, jobs-killing, pro-China and anti-American electricity regulations.
To keep pace with the world economy that depends on fossil fuels for more than 80% of its energy, President Trump will DRILL, BABY, DRILL.
President Trump will end Biden’s delays in federal drilling permits and leases that are needed to unleash American oil and natural gas production. Joe Biden has increased the cost of oil and gas leases by 50% and reduced the available acreage for drilling by 80%.
President Trump will free up the vast stores of liquid gold on America’s public land for energy development.
President Trump will remove all red tape that is leaving oil and natural gas projects stranded, including speeding up approval of natural gas pipelines into the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York.
President Trump will fill up the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that Joe Biden wastefully drained to its lowest level in 40 years.
President Trump will once again exit the horrendously unfair Paris Climate Accords and oppose all of the radical left’s Green New Deal policies that are designed to shut down the development of America’s abundant energy resources, which exceedany country’s in the world, including Russia and Saudi Arabia.
President Trump will stop the wave of frivolous litigation from environmental extremists that hold up critical energy development projects for years, increase project costs, and discourage future development.
President Trump will immediately stop all Joe Biden policies that distort energy markets, limit consumer choice, and drive-up costs on consumers, including insane wind subsidies, and DoE and EPA regulations that prevent Americans from buying incandescent lightbulbs, gas stoves, quality dishwashers and shower heads, and much more.
President Trump will support nuclear energy production, which reached a record high during his administration, by modernizing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, working to keep existing power plants open, and investing in innovative small modular reactors.
The United States should source as much fuel as we can from U.S. mined materials and reduce our reliance on foreign fuel to run our domestic reactors.
We should ensure a clear and expedient pathway for advanced, micro and modular reactors to reach commercialization.
President Trump will provide tax relief from Biden’s suffocating tax hikes on America’s oil, gas, and coal producers.
President Trump will champion America’s great dams and hydroelectric power, which Biden has launched heartless attacks on, threatening to cut off electricity to millions of Americans in Washington.
On Day One, President Trump will also roll back every Biden administration mandate that is brutalizing the American auto industry and the American consumer with skyrocketing costs.
President Trump will end Biden’s assault on the internal combustion engine and cancel his harmful April 2023 emission regulations for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles, that are projected to kill 117,000 auto manufacturing jobs.
President Trump will also end Biden’s insane CAFE fuel economy standards that will cost the auto industry an estimated $200 billion and raise the average cost of vehicles by more than $1,000 according to the Biden administration’s own estimates, at a time when the average price of a new car is $49,500.
HAVING THE NO. 1 LOWEST-COST ENERGY AND ELECTRICITY IN THE WORLD WILL LOWER INFLATION, PROPEL THE AMERICAN ECONOMY FORWARD, AND CREATE MILLIONS OF HIGH WAGE JOBS:
Affordable electricity powers economic growth.
When electricity is inexpensive, it costs less to make products, resulting in money saved for American producers and more affordable products for American consumers. Researchers have found that there is almost a 90% correlationbetween the use of electricity in the U.S. and economic growth.
When electricity costs are high in America, companies move overseas to countries like China where it is cheaper, taking jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars with them.
American manufacturing relies on inexpensive electricity for everything from keeping power on in factories to making products to shipping those products to consumers.
America’s high-tech companies, which have led the world in innovation, rely on vast amounts of affordable electricity. Google, for example, consumes more electricity than half of the countries in the world.
With historic innovation in Artificial Intelligence, America’s software industry needs affordable electricity now more than ever. Inexpensive electricity could make the difference in the world-changing race between U.S. and China to develop the most sophisticated AI.
Across the globe, the high cost of electricity is killing jobs and destroying living standards.
In 2008, the economy of the European Union was larger than America’s economy. Today, after years of radical climate regulations that have made the EU’s cost of electricity the highest in the world, America’s economy is ONE-THIRD LARGER than the European Union and Britain’s combined.
In California and Massachusetts, democrat-run states with radical climate regulations, industrial electricity is already TWICE as expensive as the national average and THREE TIMES more expensive as China.
The average household in California uses only HALF as much energy as the national average, but still pays $1,700 per year for electricity, the second-highest rate in the U.S.
Restrictions of electricity in California have contributed to frequent blackouts and the highest poverty rate in the United States.
Wherever electricity prices are high, American manufacturing recedes, high-tech innovation moves elsewhere, jobs are lost, and consumers suffer from higher inflation.
The best way to lower inflation and keep and grow jobs in America is to make sure that American industry always has the most affordable, most abundant, and most reliable energy in the world.
JOE BIDEN’S KAMIKAZEE CLIMATE REGULATIONS ARE DRIVING UP INFLATION AND SURRENDERING OUR ECONOMY TO CHINA:
Instead of building on President Trump’s historic energy success, Joe Biden has surrendered to Communist China and the crazed climate crusaders.
Biden has fulfilled his campaign promise to attack America’s oil, natural gas, and coal producers.
On his first day in office, Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would have carried 830,000 barrels of oil per day to U.S. refineries and created thousands of high-paying jobs.
On his first day in office, Biden stopped all drilling leases in Alaska’s Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), one of America’s largest oil fields, and has refused to publish 5-year lease sale plans, as required by federal law.
On his first day in office, Biden signed Executive Order No. 13990, which tasked the federal government with measuring the “social cost of carbon” and impose a threshold which would cost as much as $561 billion in regulatory burdens according to a federal court.
On his first day in office, Joe Biden rejoined the horrendously unfair, pro-China Paris Climate Agreement.
After a federal judge blocked Biden’s efforts to end all oil and gas leases, Joe Biden increased the cost of oil and gas leases by 50% and reduced the available acreage for drilling by 80%.
In a shocking act of hypocrisy, Biden personally approved of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Pipeline.
Joe Biden’s proposed budgets have called for massive tax hikes on oil and gas, $35 billion in FY2022, $43.6 billion in FY2023, and $37 billion in FY2024.
In May 2022, Joe Biden announced the cancelation of three offshore lease sales in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, despite federal law that requires Biden to sell leases annually.
Biden’s EPA issued an ultimatum to counties in Texas and New Mexico to reduce oil and natural gas production through ozone restrictions in the Permian Basin, which accounts for 43 percent of U.S. oil production and almost 50 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
In June 2021, Biden promised foreign nations to reduce methane restrictions by 30% and saddled new rules and monitoring onto the oil and gas industry that will be passed on to consumers through higher prices.
Biden has even threatened fossil fuel producers with jail time for powering American cars and homes.
While Biden’s White House says that oil companies have a “patriotic duty” to produce more oil, it is gutting them at every turn.
From their all-time peak under President Trump of 19 million barrels per day (BPD), American oil refineries have fallen below 18 million barrels per day in 2022, their lowest level in eight years. More than 1 million BPD capacity has been lost in the last year under Biden.
Under Joe Biden, refiners are closing their doors, and more are expected to follow. 1.69 million BPD of capacity will be lost in 2023 alone.
Joe Biden’s war on energy has been a war on American consumers—with record high energy prices and skyrocketing inflation.
Fueled by Biden’s war on energy, consumer inflation hit a 41-year high in 2022.
Americans are paying an average of $2,500 more in energy costs under Biden.
Since Biden took office in January 2021 to July 2023, total energy costs have risen 39%, gasoline has risen 53%, home energy costs have risen 25%, electricity bills have risen 26%, and gas bills have risen 23%.
Under Biden, a gallon of gas hit a record $4 on average last year and is $3.80 at the beginning of September 2023, $1.41 a gallon (or 58%) higher under Biden than President Trump.
No matter how historically high energy prices have risen, Joe Biden has refused to take his administration’s boot off the necks of American energy companies.
To repair the energy disaster that he created, Joe Biden has begged dictators for more oil and recklessly drained our Country’s emergency energy stockpiles.
Joe Biden has gone hat-in-hand to Venezuela’s dictator Nicolás Maduro, Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, and likely Xi Jinping in China in the future asking for oil.
President Biden has depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) by 291.24 million barrels of oil (45.6%) from the level achieved under President Trump. Today, the SPR has the lowest reserves in 40 years.
The winner of Joe Biden’s war on energy is Communist China.
For the first time in history, under Joe Biden, China is refining more oil than the U.S.
While the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is already dangerously low, Joe Biden sold MORE THAN A MILLION BARRELS from the SPR to CHINA.
Because China possesses near monopolies on the minerals needed to make EV batteries, Biden’s insane emissions mandates will make the American auto industry dependent on China.
Biden’s clean energy czar John Podesta confirmed that Chinese companies will be “big players” in the Biden energy agenda.
Joe Biden’s new electricity emission rules will send American companies overseas to China, where electricity costs are the cheapest in the world.
In May 2023, Joe Biden’s EPA issued new emission rules that will strangle American electricity production, while blackouts and soaring electricity prices plague Americans across the country.
The EPA proposal would require power plants to use untested technologies, like hydrogen blending and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
According to two 2022 studies, the vast majority of CCS projects have underperformed or failed to date and hydrogen blending is plagued with safety and effectiveness concerns.
The rule is part of Biden’s push to install as much as 60,000 miles of carbon capture pipeline into the American countryside by 2050.
The rule would expose 45 million people in 15 states living in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid to increased risks of blackouts and cost an estimated $246 billion by 2055.
This rule comes after electricity prices under Biden have already soared since he took office. Last summer, industrial electricity costs in the U.S. were almost twice as high as they were in China.
In April 2023, Joe Biden’s radical left EPA proposed new emissions regulations that are so strict it is physically impossible for gas-powered cars to meet them. As a result, the regulations would require EV sales to increase from 6% to 67% of all U.S. auto sales by 2032.
Biden’s new emissions regulations are projected to eliminate AT LEAST 117,000 auto manufacturing jobs throughout the U.S.
America’s heartland, which produces more than two-fifths of U.S.-built vehicles and three-fifths of U.S.-built transmissions will be hit the hardest, with Michigan projected to lose an estimated 25,000 jobs, Indiana losing 16,000 jobs, and Ohio losing 14,000 jobs.
Automotive manufacturing would seriously suffer in the South as well, with Tennessee losing 7,000 jobs, South Carolina losing 5,600 jobs, and Alabama losing 5,200 jobs.
Job losses as a result of Biden’s insane EV mandates have already begun with GM announcing the termination of 14,000 jobs and five assembly plants, Ford announcing the firing of 3,000 jobs in its shift to EVs, and Stellantis (owner of Chrysler) announcing the firing of 3,500 employees as it moves to EVs.
Because EVs cost an average of TWICE as much as gas-powered vehicles, take longer to fully charge, and have shorter ranges, almost two-thirds of Americans prefer their next car purchase to be a gas-powered vehicle, nearly halfof all car dealerships would never sell an EV, and about half of current EV owners plan to switch back to a gas-powered car.
Communist China, not the U.S., produce the EV batteries needed for Biden’s insane mandate.
China controls 70 PERCENT of global EV battery production, while the U.S. controls less than 10 percent.
The vast majority of nickel, cobalt and lithium used in EV batteries is mined outside the U.S.
In 2022, Joe Biden stripped mining licenses from the U.S. mineral industry in the Midwest, preventing the domestic production of minerals used to make EVs, forcing the U.S. to rely on China for MORE THAN HALF of its EV battery supply needs.
EV’s rely on America’s aging electrical grid that has experienced blackouts in the summer. Accommodating for mandated increases in EVs will cost the U.S. tens of billions of dollars in modifications to the electrical grid.
Joe Biden’s betrayal of auto manufacturing threatens not only the 1 million auto manufacturing workers nationwide, but the 10 million workers whose jobs rely on cars and car parts, including energy industries, dealerships, mechanics, and car part suppliers.
Joe Biden’s mandates for electric vehicles and his May 2023 electricity emission rules are on a collision course. Biden is forcing the production of EVs but restricting the ability for Americans to power them efficiently. The result will be higher energy costs for vehicles that Americans do not want but will be coerced to buy.
Joe Biden is working with ESG climate activists in corporate America to strongarm the oil and gas industries out of business.
In May 2021, Biden issued an Executive Order that required federal agencies to define “climate-related financial risk to the financial stability of the… U.S. financial system” which led the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to require private companies to publicly disclose climate-related risks.
This ruling will force companies to share with investors their estimated impact on the environment, which will allow climate crusaders in investment firms to punish companies that do not conform to their radical environmental agenda.
The Biden administration has been completely complacent about nuclear power. There is no advocacy to support the advanced nuclear industry. The Biden administration has failed to champion a cheap reliable emissions free power source and instead has stood by and watched as the established nuclear industry dwindles and the advanced nuclear industry is blocked from a commercialization pathway.
Biden has filled the ranks of his administration with environmental zealots that have put ideology before the needs of American families for affordable, accessible, and reliable energy.
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE UNITED STATES ACHIEVED ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, AND SOON WOULD HAVE GAINED ENERGY DOMINANCE, WITH LOW-COST ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP FUELING THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN HISTORY WITH NO INFLATION:
For the first time in history, President Trump achieved AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and would have soon gained ENERGY DOMINANCE.
During the Trump presidency, America’s low electricity and energy costs were the envy of the world.
America had the cheapest and most reliable electricity of any major industrial economy in the world, allowing American manufacturing to add six times more jobs in Trump’s first two years than in President Obama’s last two years.
Because electricity under President Trump was so much cheaper than in Germany and Japan, American workers were crushing German and Japanese workers in the competition for industry.
Under President Trump, electricity prices even kept pace with China. America was the only major industrial economy that could compete with China in the production of cheap and abundant electricity.
For the first time in nearly 70 years, President Trump made the United States a net energy exporter.
The United States was the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world, producing over 12 million barrelsof oil a day in 2019.
Natural gas production reached a record-high of 34.9 quads in 2019, following record high production in 2018 and in 2017.
The United States was a net natural gas exporter for three consecutive years and had an export capacity of nearly 10 billion cubic feet per day.
Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump’s unleashing of American energy allowed the U.S. to stand up to dictators without any concern for their energy markets.
When President Trump left office, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) containing more than 638 million barrels of oil.
President Trump withdrew from the unfair, one-sided Paris Climate Agreement.
President Trump canceled ridiculous Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan and replaced it with the new Affordable Clean Energy rule.
President Trump approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines and expedited approval of the NuStar’s New Burgos pipeline to export American gasoline to Mexico.
President Trump issued the Presidential Permit for the A2A railroad between Canada and Alaska, providing energy resources to emerging markets.
President Trump fought against suffocating regulations to unleash America’s vast natural resources.
The Trump administration opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska, one of the Nation’s largest oil fields, to oil and gas leasing.
President Trump repealed Obama’s Federal Coal Leasing Moratorium, which prohibits coal leasing on Federal lands.
President Trump overhauled permitting rules to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and speed approval for mines.
President Trump updated the New Source Review permitting program, which had punished companies for upgrading or repairing coal power plants.
President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fixed its steam electric and coal ash rules.
President Trump signed legislation repealing the harmful Stream Protection Rule.
The Trump administration reduced the time to approve drilling permits on public lands by half, increasing permit applications to drill on public lands by 300 percent.
Under President Trump, American families paid less on their energy bill.
The average American family saved $2,500 a year in lower electric bills and lower prices at the gas pump.
The Trump administration streamlined energy efficiency regulations for American families and businesses, including preserving affordable lightbulbs, enhancing the utility of showerheads, and enabling greater time savings with dishwashers.
Under President Trump, gas prices hit a record low of $1.87 and average gas prices were under $3 every year during the Trump administration. Gas prices were $2.39 when President Trump left office.
President Trump’s energy revolution put the U.S. among the top three Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters in the world.
The Trump administration streamlined Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal permitting and allowed long-term LNG export authorizations to be extended through 2050.
President Trump granted more than 20 new long-term approvals for LNG exports to non-free trade agreement countries.
LNG exports increased five-fold since January 2017, reaching an all-time high in January 2020.
LNG exports reduced the American trade deficit by over $10 billion.
The development of natural gas and LNG infrastructure in the United States provided tens of thousands of jobs and has led to the investment of tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure.
In 2019, under President Trump’s leadership, U.S. nuclear energy production was the highest on record.
President Trump helped finance the construction of Units 3 and 4 at Plant Vogtle in Georgia, the first new nuclear reactors to begin construction in the United States in more than 30 years, which will create 800 permanent jobs, provide electricity to 1.6 million American homes, and avoid 10 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
President Trump’s Department of Energy supported the siting of a 12-module small modular reactor, the first of its kind in the U.S., at Idaho National Laboratory.
President Trump established the National Reactor Innovation Center, which allows private sector innovators to test their nuclear reactors concepts to assess their safety and effectiveness.
President Trump’s Department of Energy worked with the Department of Defense to build microreactors for use by the U.S. military.
President Trump stood up to Putin and Russian energy coercion across Europe through various lines of effort, including the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation, civil nuclear deals with Romania and Poland, and opposition to Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Under President Trump, without sacrificing any economic gains, American energy became cleaner than ever before.
The United States led the world in greenhouse gas emissions reductions, having cut energy-related CO2 emissions by 12 percent from 2005 to 2018 while the rest of the world increased emissions by 24 percent.
President Trump cut red tape holding back the construction of new energy infrastructure.
President Trump authorized ethanol producers to sell E15 year-round and allowed higher-ethanol gasoline to be distributed from existing pumps at filling stations.
President Trump ensured greater transparency and certainty in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
President Trump signed an Executive Order directing Federal agencies to work together to diminish the capability of foreign adversaries to target our critical electric infrastructure.
The Trump administration clarified Section 401 of the Clean Water Act so that it could only be used to ensure water quality, not push radical climate agendas.
TRANSCRIPT
If America is going to dominate the world in manufacturing once again as it did when I was running things — you remember when they used to say you can’t have manufacturing jobs in our country anymore. I said really? Why? And we created hundreds of thousands of them — we must be the most affordable energy and electricity place anywhere on the planet.
We have to have affordable energy. Right now we have energy that’s weak, substandard, and unaffordable. It’s made by the wind. The windmills rust. They rot. They kill the birds. It’s the most expensive energy there is. And we have other things that are also no good. It’s called the Green New Deal — I call it the Green New Hoax.
One of the reasons manufacturing jobs were flooding back into the United States when I was president, was that we dramatically reduced energy costs. Sadly, Crooked Joe Biden sacrificed his tremendous economic advantage on the altar of the Green New Deal. Perhaps because he was bribed by Communist China or because Communist China knows all of the money that they’ve paid him. We have a Manchurian Candidate. That’s what he is. He’s a Manchurian Candidate. They know everything about him. And he’ scared stiff. He won’t do a thing. I take in hundreds of billions of dollars from China. And Joe Biden’s afraid to even talk to them.
Biden’s War on American Energy has sent prices soaring and his latest actions will make it catastrophically worse. It’s going to be bad at a level that we’ve never seen. This will be so bad. Under Biden’s newly proposed power plant regulations, most natural gas and coal plants will be forced to shut down. By the way, they tried that in Germany, and now they’re going back and building coal plants all over the place. Because they’ve destroyed Germany. They have no energy. So Germany now is building a coal plant every two weeks. And China is building a coal plant every week. Every single week they’re putting up a new coal plant. And we’re playing games with the wind.
This is terrible what’s happening to our country. There is nothing to replace our energy at
this time, not even close. It’s very expensive. And it’s very weak. It doesn’t have the power to power up those big plants that you see.
At the same time as Biden is shutting down existing power plants, he also wants to force hundreds of millions of Americans into ultra-expensive electric vehicles. It costs twice as much as what you have. And what you have is better and it goes a lot longer. And it’s a lot easier to fill up. And we have liquid gold under our feet at a level that no other country has. But they’ll strain the grid to the breaking point — it already is at a breaking point. If you look at California, it’s got brownouts and blackouts every single day. People can’t turn on their air conditioners — and it’ll drive electricity prices into the stratosphere.
If Biden’s policies go forward, our electricity costs will be the highest on Earth — they’re already very close — with shortages, blackouts, and crippling inflation. U.S. manufacturing will be dead, absolutely dead, and China will be laughing all the way to the bank. They will end up controlling the world.
My plan is the exact opposite. As President, I will set a national goal of ensuring that America has the number one lowest cost of energy of any industrial country anywhere on Earth. I want to be number one.
We were energy independent just three years ago. And now we’re begging Venezuela for their oil. And yet we have many times more than any other country. There is no country — Saudi Arabia, Russia, nobody — no country has what we have. We will develop the liquid gold that is right under our feet, including American oil and natural gas and we will also embrace nuclear, clean coal, hydropower, which is fantastic, and every other form of affordable energy to get it done.
We will not only match China, we will be cheaper than China by a lot. And more energy will mean lower inflation that will mean more jobs.
I will cancel Biden’s ruinous power plant rule, terminate his electric vehicle mandate — if you want to buy an electric car, that’s fine, but you’re going to be able to buy every other form of car also — and unleash domestic energy production like never before. But just think of it: energy independence three years ago. Energy dominance was going to follow very shortly. We were going to pay off our debt. We were going to lower taxes for everybody. And they ended that, immediately ended it. First day they ended it.
I will fully modernize the electric grid to prepare it for the next 100 years, implement rapid
approvals for energy projects, and green light the construction of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of brand new beautiful power plants that actually work. This will pave the way for an enormous growth in American wealth.
In the future, every manufacturing plant, every data center, every semiconductor facility and assembly line will want to be built in America. They’re all going to want to be in America. Because we’re going to have the lowest cost of energy. It’s a big factor. This will be the place where the cost of energy is lower than anyplace else on Earth, where the economy is stronger than anyplace else on Earth, and where the workers are the best, brightest and most talented anywhere in the world.
I want to thank you very much. We cannot let this man who is diminished mentally and physically, but much worse mentally. We cannot let him tell us what to do with our country. He has no clue. He can’t put two sentences together.
Returning Production of Essential Medicines Back to America and Ending Biden’s Pharmaceutical Shortages
Bedminster, NJ — In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to end Joe Biden’s pharmaceutical shortages and return the manufacture of life-saving drugs to the United States.
“This is not just a public health crisis, it’s a national security crisis,” President Trump said. “As part of my plan to obtain total independence from China, we will phase in tariffs and import restrictions to bring back production of all essential medicines to the United States of America where they belong. I signed an executive order to begin this process in 2020 but Biden has shamefully failed to follow through.”
President Trump took historic action in 2020 to ensure essential medicines were produced in the United States but Joe Biden reversed the order in 2021. Now, there are severe shortages of over 295 medications—a record five-year high.
“This is a matter of tremendous urgency. American lives are on the line, and it will be one of my top priorities as President. It will also create countless new American jobs.”
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PLAN TO END JOE BIDEN’S SHORTAGE OF LIFE SAVING CANCER DRUGS AND OTHER ESSENTIAL PHARMACEUTICALS BY RETURNING THE MANUFACTURE OF CRITICAL MEDICINES TO THE UNITED STATES
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN WILL ENSURE A SAFE AND RELIABLE SUPPLY OF LIFE SAVING CANCER DRUGS AND OTHER CRITICAL MEDICINES MADE IN AMERICA
– President Trump will restore his Executive Order 13944, dated August 6, 2020, on Ensuring Essential Medicines, Medical Countermeasures, and Critical Inputs Are Made in the United States.
– This Essential Medicines EO sought to ensure sufficient and reliable, long-term domestic production of essential medications, minimizing potential shortages by reducing our dependence on foreign manufacturers.
– The EO required federal agencies to “Buy American” by facilitating the domestic production of medicines and medical devices that the FDA determined “essential” to public health. It did so by requiring federal agencies to buy medicines and medical devices that are entirely “produced in the United States.”
– The EO also required the U.S. Trade Representative to modify our international trade agreements so that drugs deemed “essential” to public health by the FDA can no longer be purchased by federal agencies from any of the 120 countries that has a trade agreement with the U.S. that authorizes the manufacture of such “essential” drugs for the U.S. market.
– President Trump’s August 2020 Essential Medicines EO reflected critical lessons learned from the national response to the COVID19 pandemic, including the extreme national vulnerability caused by the lack of an adequate domestic manufacturing capability for critical pharmaceuticals. This vulnerability was compounded by the severely UNDERFUNDED and DEPLETED Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) left by the Obama-Biden administration. As a result, between March 2020 and January 2021, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act over 100 times to rapidly replenish the SNS with medicines and medical equipment to fight the pandemic. As a part of this effort, large-scale and long-term government contracts were awarded to American manufacturers to produce life-saving essential medicines and medical equipment for public health emergencies. For example, Phlow Corporation in Richmond, Virginia, was awarded a $354 million contract—with an additional $458 million available for long-term stockpiling purposes—to manufacture over a dozen kinds of USA-made medicines and their precursor ingredients to treat patients hospitalized with the COVID19 virus.
– Restoring President Trump’s August 2020 Essential Medicines EO will kickstart the domestic production of lifesaving drugs.
– American doctors should never have to give a patient a drug from an unapproved facility in China or India. We can and must produce these essential medicines at home.
– A recent survey conducted by Washington University in St. Louis found that 30 percent of U.S. pharmaceutical companies utilize 50 percent or less of their facility capacity, meaning U.S. companies could already produce millions more doses of medication every year.
JOE BIDEN GUTTED PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ESSENTIAL MEDICINES EXECUTIVE ORDER TO “BUY AMERICAN”, ALLOWING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO BUY ESSENTIAL MEDICINES FROM UNSAFE FOREIGN COUNTRIES
– On April 20, 2021, Biden withdrew a proposal to put President Trump’s EO into effect by removing essential drugs and medical devices from coverage under the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA).
– By ripping up the proposal, the U.S. government can continue to buy foreign-made medicines and medical devices.
– With federal agencies still permitted under current law to purchase medicines “essential” to public health from any of America’s 120 trading partners, there is no incentive for federal agencies to buy from domestic companies. As a result, the United States will continue to be dependent on foreign countries for its most critical medical needs.
JOE BIDEN’S DRUG SHORTAGE CONSTITUTES AN URGENT PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
– Under Biden, shortages of essential medications have grown astronomically.
– Between 2021 and 2022, new drug shortages increased by 30 percent, with a record five-year high of 295 active drug shortages at the end of 2022.
– The U.S. is at a near-10 year high in drug shortages.
– There is currently a shortage of at least 14 cancer drugs in the U.S.
– A June 2023 survey by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) found that 93 percent of U.S. cancer centers have shortages of carboplatin and 70 percent have shortages of cisplatin, essential medicines that treat a wide array of cancers.
– A study published in 2020 in The British Medical Journal found that every month delayed in cancer treatment can raise the risk of death by around 10%.
JOE BIDEN’S DRUG SHORTAGE IS FUELED BY OVERRELIANCE ON FOREIGN-MADE MEDICINES AND, IN SOME CASE, POTENTIALLY UNSAFE MANUFACTURERS
– Instead of building a domestic manufacturing capability, Biden’s FDA is building up foreign manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and putting American lives at risk.
– India accounts for the majority of FDA-approved active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) facilities sending drugs into the United States as of 2021.
– China accounts for 445 FDA-approved API manufacturers.
– In 2021, China was the top exporter of pharmaceutical to the U.S. measured by weight, accounting for 190 million kilograms (418 million lbs.) or 23% of total pharma imports.
– Chinese imports to the U.S. now account for 95 percent of ibuprofen, 91 percent of hydrocortisone, 70 percent of acetaminophen, and 40 to 45 percent of penicillin.
– China and India account for 90 percent of all prescriptions written in the U.S.
– Chinese and Indian drug companies present a substantial risk to the health of Americans.
– In June 2023, the Biden FDA considered temporarily importing cancer drugs, cisplatin and carboplatin, from unapproved foreign companies because of domestic shortages.
– The shortages were exacerbated by Intas Pharmaceuticals, an Indian drug companies that shut down production after it shredded documents and dowsed trashcans in acid when the FDA began to investigate them.
– The Biden FDA allowed Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, an Indian drug company, to export into the U.S. even though it was under an import ban because of significant violations of current good manufacturing practices at its facility in Baddi.
TRANSCRIPT
Under crooked Joe Biden there has been a catastrophic increase in shortages of essential medicines. Last year, new drug shortages were up by 30% with 295 active drug shortages, just by the end of 2022 alone. It’s a mess.
There’s currently a shortage of at least 14 critical cancer drugs in the United States. They just can’t get it. And every month of delay, cancer treatment increases the risk of death by at least 10%. It’s unthinkable that this could be happening in the United States of America in 2023. It is truly unbelievable. We are becoming a third world country very rapidly between our open borders and our bad elections. We are third world.
But even more dangerously, the top producer of critical medicines that we rely on in the United States is a place called China. China produces 95% of all ibuprofen, 91% of hydrocortisone, 70% of all Tylenol, and nearly half of all penicillin. Can you imagine that?
This is not just a public health crisis, it’s a national security crisis. As part of my plan to obtain total independence from China, we will phase in tariffs and import restrictions to bring back production of all essential medicines to the United States of America where they belong. I signed an executive order to begin this process in 2020 but Biden has shamefully failed to follow through. He wants it ended. He wants to take care of China.
This is a matter of tremendous urgency. American lives are on the line, and it will be one of my top priorities as President. It will also create countless new American jobs.
President Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Human Traffickers
Bedminster, NJ — In an Agenda47 policy video, President Donald J. Trump pledged to end the scourge of human trafficking and defend the dignity of human life.
“I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately,” President Trump said.
As President, Donald J. Trump took historic action to combat human trafficking and will reinstate his successful policies once he returns to the White House.
“Under my leadership, we did more than any administration in history to combat human trafficking and to end modern day slavery,” President Trump said. “In one of my first acts in office, I signed an executive order targeting transnational criminal organizations that traffic and exploit innocent people. I signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking.”
Earlier this week, President Trump hosted a screening of the new film Sound of Freedom at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
Sound of Freedom grossed $41.7 million in the first week of its release and opened at No. 1 in Texas, Florida, and Arizona theaters. The feature has taken the nation by storm, beating out Disney’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in July 4th movie ticket sales despite appearing in far fewer theaters, securing the top position in the box office for the day. The film which is being distributed by Angel Studios, was produced by Mexican filmmaker Eduardo Verástegui and stars Jim Caviezel.
Verástegui who was previously appointed a member of President Trump’s Advisory Commission on Hispanic Prosperity and who has continuously advocated for a strong and vital bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Mexico, emphasized the importance of coming together as a society to address this pernicious evil and eradicate child trafficking.
The film is based on the true story of federal agent Tim Ballard’s mission to save children from child sex traffickers in Colombia.
On Thursday morning, Caviezel and Verástegui appeared on Fox & Friends to highlight the film’s success and President Trump’s impressive screening at Bedminster.
In the interview, Caviezel called President Trump “the new Moses” and said, “he’s got to be in there because he’s going to go after the traffickers.”
TRANSCRIPT
I was thrilled to host a screening at Bedminster of the important new film, Sound of Freedom about the power of faith in overcoming evil and in particular, the evil of child trafficking. Big problem. We had it down to the lowest number in many years, just four years ago, and now it’s gone through the roof. Even though the fake news media has tried to ignore it.
Sound of Freedom has been a national sensation and a colossal success at the box office, really big numbers, everyone should see it. This is a very important film and very important movie and it’s a very important documentary all wrapped up in one. It’s really about an issue that has to be discussed.
Under my leadership, we did more than any administration in history to combat human trafficking and to end modern day slavery. In one of my first acts in office, I signed an executive order targeting transnational criminal organizations that traffic and exploit innocent people. I signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking.
I signed legislation to crack down on foreign countries who are not meeting standards for eliminating trafficking, of which there are many. I also signed into law the abolish Human Trafficking Act, which strengthened programs supporting survivors and provided more resources for ending modern slavery.
We do have modern slavery, if you can believe it. Additionally, I created the first ever White House position focused solely on combating human trafficking and perhaps most importantly, we created the most secure border in US history by far, dealing a major blow to the cartels and traffickers. We built hundreds of miles of wall. We renovated hundreds of miles of wall. We never had anything like it, and then I got Mexico free of charge, to give us 28,000 soldiers to protect us from people coming into our country illegally.
When I’m back in the White House, I will immediately end the Biden border nightmare that traffickers are using to exploit vulnerable women and children. We will fully secure the border. I will wage war on the cartels just as I destroyed the ISIS caliphate, 100% gone, 100% destroyed. They’ll come back now because we have a weak administration.
I will use Title 42 to end the child trafficking crisis by returning all trafficked children to their families in their home countries and without delay, and I will urge Congress to ensure that anyone caught trafficking children across our border receives the death penalty immediately and that includes also for women, because women as you know are number one in trafficking. Children are actually number two.
I want to thank Eduardo, Jim, Tim Ballard, and everyone else involved in this film for their incredible efforts and their great genius. Together, we will end the scourge of human trafficking, and we will defend the dignity of human life.
Rescuing America’s Auto Industry from Joe Biden’s Disastrous Job-Killing Policies
Bedminster, NJ – In a new Agenda47 policy video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to save America’s auto industry from Joe Biden’s radical Green New Deal policies.
“Joe Biden is waging war on the U.S. auto-industry with a series of crippling mandates designed to force Americans into expensive electric cars, even as thousands of electric cars are piling up on car lots all unsold,” President Trump said. “This ridiculous Green New Deal crusade is causing car prices to skyrocket while setting the stage for the destruction of American auto production.”
“If Biden’s assault is not stopped, American auto-production will be totally DEAD. That’s why I am going to terminate these Green New Deal atrocities on Day One. In my first term, I fought for autoworkers like never before, canceling TPP, which was a disaster, ending the NAFTA nightmare, the NAFTA trade deal was the worst deal ever negotiated on trade, and renegotiating Obama’s horrendous Korea trade deal. Made it a great deal from a horrible deal.”
“I saved the American auto industry once, and now, I will save it again.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO SAVE THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL REVERSE EVERY AUTO-JOB KILLING POLICY OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
– On Day One, President Trump will roll back every Biden policy that is brutalizing American autoworkers.
– President Trump will end Biden’s assault on the internal combustion engine and cancel his harmful April 2023 emission regulations for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles, that are projected to kill 117,000 auto manufacturing jobs.
– President Trump will also end Biden’s insane CAFE fuel economy standards that will cost the auto industry an estimated $200 billion and raise the average cost of vehicles by more than $1,000 according to the Biden administration’s own estimates, at a time when the average price of a new car is $49,500.
– President Trump will secure the USMCA’s protections for American auto workers from globalist assault.
– In January of this year, international bureaucrats on the USMCA Panel—at the direction of Canada and Mexico and unopposed by Joe Biden—changed the terms of USMCA to reducethe amount of regional auto parts content in North American cars by up to 33%, directly benefiting China and other foreign producers.
– President Trump will communicate to Canada and Mexico that FULL compliance with the terms of the USMCA is not optional.
– President Trump will work to stop the flow of American tax dollars that are subsidizing Chinese electric vehicle battery companies through Joe Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
– President Trump will end Joe Biden’s war on American energy that is raising the price of gas.
– President Trump will once again achieve American energy independence, and energy dominance, and rapidly reduce the price of energy through more domestic production.
– President Trump will end Biden’s delays in federal drilling permits and leases that are needed to unleash American oil and natural gas production. Joe Biden has increased the cost of oil and gas leases by 50% and reduced the available acreage for drilling by 80%.
– President Trump will once again exit the horrendously unfair Paris Climate Accords and oppose all of the radical left’s efforts for a Green New Deal that are designed to shut down the development of America’s energy resources that exceed any country’s in the world, including Russia and Saudi Arabia.
– President Trump will create a special team of warrior lawyers to identify every unnecessary federal regulation hampering the American auto industry and immediately eliminate them.
– President Trump will restore the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) that Joe Biden wastefully drained to its lowest level in 40 years.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL ENACT A NATIONAL TARIFF POLICY TO PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS AND STOP THE EXPORT OF AMERICAN WEALTH AND JOBS
– Rather than raising taxes on American producers like Joe Biden is proposing, President Trump will impose tariffs on FOREIGN producers through a system of universal baseline tariffs on most imported goods.
– President Trump’s universal baseline tariffs will create millions of new jobs, increase real household income, boost GDP, increase domestic manufacturing output, and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in new government revenue.
– As tariffs on foreign countries go up, taxes on American workers, families, and businesses can come down.
– Raising tariffs on foreign producers while lowering taxes for domestic producers will help generate jobs and wealth in the United States.
– These tariffs will restore a level playing field for American businesses worldwide and slash the trade deficit.
– To further defend the American auto industry from foreign onslaught, President Trump will pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.
– Under this Act, if any foreign country imposes a tariff on American-made goods, such as cars or car parts, that is higher than the tariff imposed by the U.S. for the same goods, President Trump will have the authority to impose a reciprocal tariff of the same amount on that foreign country’s goods.
– To ensure fairness, the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act will empower President Trump to negotiate the reduction of tariffs on foreign automotive goods if foreign countries agree to reduce their tariffs on the same American products.
– The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act advances the views of 91 percent of conservatives and even 75 percent of Democrats, who support placing reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports to protect American workers.
– A national tariff policy will put AMERICA FIRST and continue President Trump’s successful first term trade policies that reduced America’s trade deficit, grew wages, and created 500,000 new manufacturing jobs.
– Unfair and unbalanced trade policies have hurt American businesses, including in the auto industry. The result has been a decrease in demand for U.S. domestic production, leading to a loss of manufacturing jobs and lower wages.
– Since the moment he took office, Joe Biden’s globalist trade policies have caused the annual trade deficit to skyrocket to $1 trillion, its highest point ever
– Real wages have sharply declined over 28 months under Biden’s weak trade policies that flood the American market with cheap foreign goods produced by cheap foreign labor.
– The $4 trillion in foreign imports in 2022 under Biden was the highest EVER.
JOE BIDEN’S GLOBAL WARMING FANATICISM IS CONDEMNING AMERICA’S AUTO INDUSTRY AND CAUSING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN WORKERS TO LOSE THEIR JOBS
– For 36 years in the Senate, Joe Biden sat idly by and did nothing as the U.S. auto industry was devasted by a flood of cheap foreign imports from Japan and Korea, destroying entire towns and cities in the American Heartland. Auto workers asked for protection and Washington ignored them.
– The United States ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), which measures increases in American manufacturing production, reached its lowest levels since the pandemic with blue-collar manufacturing workers losing their jobs.
– Job creation under Joe Biden is millions of jobs short of President Trump’s job creation levels pre-pandemic.
– Automobile manufacturing accounts for over $1 trillion (or nearly 6%) of total US GDP and approximately 11.4% of U.S. manufacturing output.
– The largest contributors to Biden’s nearly $1 trillion trade deficit are cars and car parts from Europe, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and Korea.
– In 2022, the U.S. automotive industry reported its worst sales year in more than a decade.
– As a result of Biden’s inflationary economy, new car prices increased 11.1% to an average of $49,500and used car prices shot up to 31.4% at the end of 2021.
– The U.S. has gone from once being the largest manufacturer of automobiles, to producing only half as many as China does.
– Biden’s environmental mandates will devastate the American auto industry.
– In April 2023, Joe Biden’s radical left EPA proposed new emissions regulations that are so strict it is physically impossible for gas-powered cars to meet them. As a result, the regulations would require electric vehicles (EV) sales to increase from 6% to 67% of all U.S. auto sales by 2032.
– Biden’s new emissions regulations are projected to eliminate AT LEAST 117,000 auto manufacturing jobs throughout the U.S.
– America’s heartland, which produces more than two-fifths of U.S.-built vehicles and three-fifths of U.S.-built transmissions will be hit the hardest, with Michigan projected to lose an estimated 25,000 jobs, Indiana losing 16,000 jobs, and Ohio losing 14,000 jobs.
– Automotive manufacturing would seriously suffer in the South as well, with Tennessee losing 7,000 jobs, South Carolina losing 5,600 jobs, and Alabama losing 5,200 jobs.
– Job losses as a result of Biden’s insane EV mandates have already begun with GM announcing the termination of 14,000 jobs and five assembly plants, Ford announcing the firing of 3,000 jobs in its shift to EVs, and Stellantis (owner of Chrysler) announcing the firing of 3,500 employees as it moves to EVs.
– Because EVs cost an average of TWICE as much as gas-powered vehicles, take longer to fully charge, and have shorter ranges, almost two-thirds of Americans prefer their next car purchase to be a gas-powered vehicle, nearly half of all car dealerships would never sell an EV, and about half of current EV owners plan to switch back to a gas-powered car.
– Because China possesses near monopolies on the minerals needed to make EV batteries, Biden’s insane emissions mandates will make the American auto industry dependent on China.
– In 2022, Joe Biden stripped mining licenses from the U.S. mineral industry in the Midwest, preventing the domestic production of minerals used to make EVs, forcing the U.S. to rely on China for MORE THAN HALF of its EV battery supply needs.
– EV’s rely on America’s aging electrical grid that has experienced blackouts in the summer. Accommodating for mandated increases in EVs will cost the U.S. tens of billions of dollars in modifications to the electrical grid.
– Joe Biden’s betrayal of auto manufacturing threatens not only the 1 million auto manufacturing workers nationwide, but the 10 million workers whose jobs rely on cars and car parts, including dealerships, mechanics, and car part suppliers.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAVED THE AUTO INDUSTRY ONCE BEFORE
– On his first day in office, President Trump stopped the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership backed by Joe Biden and Ron DeSantis that would have decimated U.S. automakers.
– President Trump ended the disastrous trade deal known as NAFTA and replaced it with the USMCA.
– The Biden-endorsed NAFTA cost approximately 305,000 American auto workers their jobs—nearly a third of the entire American auto manufacturing industry.
– The USMCA is projected to produce $34 billion in new automotive manufacturing investments in the U.S., $23 billion in new annual purchases of U.S.-made automotive parts, and 76,000 U.S. automotive jobs with strict requirements that ensure more cars are made in AMERICAN factories by AMERICAN workers.
– President Trump renegotiated Obama and Biden’s globalist Korea Trade Deal which would have cost the U.S. 80,000 jobs by flooding our market with foreign pickup trucks. Instead, President Trump secured the 25% “Chicken Tax” tariff on light trucks and DOUBLED the amount of U.S. automotive exports to Korea.
– President Trump’s tariffs on China protected the American auto industry, decreasing imports of Chinese auto parts by 50%, increasing American production, and keeping Ford, GM, Volvo, and other auto manufacturing plants in the U.S.
– President Trump ended Obama and Biden’s insane CAFE fuel economy standards, saving $200 billion in total costs, improving vehicle affordability, and reducing traffic fatalities by an estimated 3,300, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
– President Trump took executive action to address overdependence on Chinese minerals for electric vehicle production leading to a surge in the mining of rare earth minerals.
– While Obama and Biden LOST 500 auto and auto parts factories, President Trump ADDED over 200 new auto and auto parts plants in just four years.
– Ford and General Motors collectively invested over $2 billion in domestic auto-manufacturing in plants across Michigan, creating approximately well over 4,000 new auto-manufacturing jobs.
– In August 2017, Toyota and Mazda announced their plan to build a $1.6 billion assembly plant in Huntsville, Alabama, creating 4,000 jobs.
– In March 2019, Ford invested an additional $850 million in Flat Rock, creating 900 jobs.
– GM announced expansions as part of an over $1 billion investment in March 2020 for making the Chevrolet Traverse, the Buick Enclave, and the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 in its Lansing plants, creating approximately 1,200 jobs.
– About $750 million of the GM investment went to Wayne, Michigan, where 2,700 jobs are being added over the next several years.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden is waging war on the U.S. auto industry with a series of crippling mandates designed to force Americans into expensive electric cars, even as thousands of electric cars are piling up on car lots all unsold. This ridiculous Green New Deal crusade is causing car prices to skyrocket while setting the stage for the destruction of American auto production.
These extreme left-wing policies are a disaster for families and consumers and are one of the main reasons the average cost of a new car is now over $50,000 dollars—absolutely outrageous. And there’s never been such a price before. These exorbitant prices are despite the fact that Biden is spending BILLIONS and BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars subsidizing electric cars for rich people, while normal Americans can’t afford to use one, nor do they even want to.
Biden is killing American consumers and he’s also killing U.S. manufacturing. In an all-out attack on American-made pickup trucks, SUVs, and other automobiles, Biden DOUBLED CAFÉ standards—a move that is projected to cost automakers $200 billion dollars. By one estimate, Biden’s electric vehicle mandate will slaughter 117,000 U.S. auto-manufacturing jobs, with workers in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio among the hardest hit.
And I hope United Auto Workers is listening to this because I think you better endorse Trump because I am going to grow your business and they are destroying your business. They are absolutely destroying your business. How people can vote for you just because it’s an automatic Democrat vote. Look at how they have decimated the car industry over the years. Mexico has 32 percent of the business that we used to have. It’s ridiculous. But they didn’t do it while I was President, I can tell you that.
If Biden’s assault is not stopped, American auto-production will be totally DEAD. That’s why I am going to terminate these Green New Deal atrocities on Day One. In my first term, I fought for autoworkers like never before, canceling TPP, which was a disaster, ending the NAFTA nightmare, the NAFTA trade deal was the worst deal ever negotiated on trade, and renegotiating Obama’s horrendous Korea trade deal. Made it a great deal from a horrible deal.
I saved the American auto industry once, and now, I will save it again.
Every voter in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina needs to know if you want to have an auto-industry, you need to defeat Joe Biden—he’s a corrupt president—and reelect President Donald Trump.
Rebuilding America’s Depleted Military
Bedminster, NJ – In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to rebuild America’s depleted military, address the military recruitment crisis, and restore the proud culture and honor of America’s armed forces.
On Day One, President Trump will restore his successful America First foreign policy to bring peace and stability to Eastern Europe.
“In addition, I will ask Europe to reimburse us for the cost of rebuilding the stockpiles sent to Ukraine, which they should be doing now but Joe Biden is too weak and too disrespected to even ask,” President Trump said. “The fact is that we’ve spent almost $200 billion in helping Ukraine and Europe has spent just a tiny fraction of that amount.”
“Less than three years ago, I’d fully rebuilt the United States military and steered America into such a strong global position. That peace was breaking out all over the world, we had peace through strength,” President Trump said.
“Twenty-nine months later, the arsenals are empty, the stockpiles are bare, the Treasury is drained, the ranks are being hollowed out, our country has been totally humiliated, and we have a corrupt, compromised President crooked Joe Biden, who is dragging us into World War III.”
TRANSCRIPT
In a period of less than one week, Joe Biden accidentally admitted that we’re sending cluster bombs to Ukraine because the United States is running out of ammunition. I don’t know how that works, but that’s what he said. Then he called up reserve forces to ship them to Europe, proving that we are running out of troops. And that’s also a fact.
We have very few people signing up to join our military. These actions reveal just what an insanely dangerous situation Biden, and the demented war mongers have led us into. Less than three years ago, I’d fully rebuilt the United States military and steered America into such a strong global position. That peace was breaking out all over the world, we had peace through strength.
Twenty-nine months later, the arsenals are empty, the stockpiles are bare, the Treasury is drained, the ranks are being hollowed out, our country has been totally humiliated, and we have a corrupt, compromised President crooked Joe Biden, who is dragging us into World War III. And that’s what’s happening on behalf of a nation that paid his family, millions and millions of dollars in obvious bribes.
All you have to do is take a look at how much China, how much Ukraine have paid the Biden family. It’s a total disgrace and a very dangerous one. Under these circumstances, the notion that we would even consider admitting Ukraine into NATO at this time is completely unhinged. Joe Biden can’t even walk up a flight of stairs on Air Force One and he can’t put two sentences together. The last thing that this incompetent administration should be doing is risking war with a nuclear armed Russia or China or other countries. We have somebody that doesn’t have a clue representing us.
When I’m back in the White House, on Day One, we are returning to a foreign policy that puts America’s interests first. America’s chief interest in Eastern Europe is peace and stability. We want people to stop dying. This war should never have happened, but it is long past time to end the senseless death and destruction. The numbers are much worse than you’re reading about or hearing about or than they’re telling you.
Many more people are dying than you have any idea and certainly many more than they’re willing to say. Then, as I work to again rebuild America’s military strength and deterrence that Joe Biden so foolishly squandered, we need to take a long, hard look at defense procurement and our defense industrial base, because it’s been withered down to nothing. Given all the money we spend on the Pentagon, it’s unacceptable that we would ever run out of ammunition or be unable to quickly produce the weapons needed.
I will provide record funding for our military just as I did four great years, if you think about what we were able to do, four great years of rebuilding our military, and we rebuilt it bigger and better and stronger than ever before. And now look at what’s happened. And we have no ammunition as told stupidly by our president to the world so that everybody could know it. But I will also insist that we get more for every dollar spent, because we’re spending too much money foolishly and our prices are too high.
In addition, I will ask Europe to reimburse us for the cost of rebuilding the stockpiles sent to Ukraine, which they should be doing now but Joe Biden is too weak and too disrespected to even ask. The fact is that we’ve spent almost $200 billion in helping Ukraine and Europe has spent just a tiny fraction of that amount.
As Biden’s call up of reserve troops show, we also clearly need to address the embarrassing recruitment situation in the USA. Joe Biden’s woke policies and political purges have repulsed many great patriots from serving. They don’t want to serve in our military, frankly, they disrespect our president. That’s a big factor. I will restore the proud culture and honor traditions of America’s armed forces. And there will be no Marxism allowed, no communism allowed, and we’ll get rid of the fascists.
Protecting Students from the Radical Left and Marxist Maniacs Infecting Educational Institutions
Mar-a-Lago, FL— In an Agenda47 policy video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left and Marxist maniacs.
President Trump will protect American students, impose real standards on higher education, and hold colleges and universities accountable.
“For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding while academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth,” President Trump said. “The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that.”
President Trump has pledged to fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.
He will impose real standards on American colleges and universities, to include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, removing all DEI bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are getting their money’s worth.
Once back in the White House, President Trump will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination and will advance a measure to have schools that continue these illegal and unjust policies fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.
TRANSCRIPT
For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding while academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth. The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that.
Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It’s called accreditation for a reason.
The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.
We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all.
These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly, removing all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money’s worth.
Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.
A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-working taxpayers and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all.
We are going to have real education in America.
Protecting Americans by Taking on Big Pharma and Ending Global Freeloading
Bedminster, NJ— President Donald J. Trump released his new Agenda47 plan to take on Big Pharma and end global freeloading on American consumers.
“Crooked Joe Biden likes to pretend he stands up to Big Pharma—but in fact, I was the only President in modern times who EVER took on Big Pharma, and I took it head on,” President Trump said. “Biden canceled my tough-on-pharma policies the moment he had a chance.”
President Trump issued unprecedented reforms that lowered drug prices for the first time in 51 years, ended costly kickbacks, and finalized the Most Favored Nation Rule to ensure that pharmaceutical companies offer the same discounts to the United States as they do to other nations— resulting in an estimated $85 billion in savings over seven years.
On Day One, President Trump will sign an Executive Order to end global freeloading on American consumers once and for all.
“Under my policy, the United States government will tell Big Pharma that we will only pay the best price they offer to foreign nations, who have been taking advantage of us for so long— the United States is tired of getting ripped off.”
TRANSCRIPT
Crooked Joe Biden likes to pretend he stands up to Big Pharma—but in fact, I was the only President in modern times who EVER took on Big Pharma, and I took it head on. Biden canceled my tough-on-pharma policies the moment he had a chance.
As President, I signed a historic Executive Order declaring that the United States government would pay the same price for pharmaceuticals as other foreign countries—and no more. We didn’t want to pay any more. Can you imagine that? How simple would that be. This would have saved American patients billions and billions of dollars.
But shortly after taking office, Joe Biden rescinded my Executive Order, stabbing Patients and U.S. citizens and especially our Seniors right in the back.
For many years, Americans have been paying among the highest prices in the world for our prescription drugs, while other countries negotiate sweetheart deals off the backs of America, paying vastly lower prices for the very same drugs from the very same companies. This amounts to a gigantic subsidy of foreign socialist welfare systems courtesy of YOU and the American people.
On Day One of my new term, I will sign an Executive Order to end this global freeloading on American consumers for once and for all.
Under my policy, the United States government will tell Big Pharma that we will only pay the best price they offer to foreign nations, who have been taking advantage of us for so long— the United States is tired of getting ripped off.
We’ve been ripped off my everybody for so many decades. We are tired of it. Not going to happen. They should have never rescinded my original Executive Order. It just shows you the power of Big Pharma. But this will force Big Pharma to RAISE prices on foreign countries and REDUCE prices very substantially for American Patients. It will deliver huge savings for seniors, and for all American Patients.
Cementing Fair and Reciprocal Trade with the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act
Bedminster, NJ— In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to return jobs and wealth to the United States, launch an economic boom that will lift our middle class, and eliminate our dependence on China and other countries, known as the “Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.”
“Under the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, other countries will have two choices—they’ll get rid of their tariffs on us, or they will pay us hundreds of billions of dollars, and the United States will make an absolute FORTUNE,” President Trump said.
“If India, China, or any other country hits us with a 100 or 200 percent tariff on American-made goods, we will hit them with the same exact tariff. In other words, 100 percent is 100 percent. If they charge US, we charge THEM—an eye for an eye, a tariff for a tariff, same exact amount.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO ENSURE RECIPROCAL AND FAIR TRADE
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL WORK WITH CONGRESS TO PASS THE TRUMP RECIPROCAL TRADE ACT:
– As one of his top economic priorities, President Trump will stop the flow of American jobs overseas by passing the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.
– Under the landmark legislation, if any foreign country imposes a tariff on American-made goods that is higher than the tariff imposed by the U.S., President Trump will have the authority to impose a reciprocal tariff on that country’s goods.
– To ensure fairness, the Act will empower President Trump to negotiate the reduction of tariffs on foreign goods if foreign countries agree to reduce their tariffs on American goods.
– The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act will put AMERICA FIRST and continue President Trump’s unparalleled trade success that reduced America’s trade deficit, grew wages, and created more than half a million new manufacturing jobs.
– President Trump’s landmark legislation advances the views of 91 percent of conservatives and even 75 percent of Democrats, who support placing reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports to protect American workers.
THE TRUMP RECIPROCAL TRADE ACT WILL RESTORE FAIRNESS TO TRADE, BOOSTING AMERICAN INDUSTRY:
– The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act has a wealth of precedent in American history.
– America historically imposed tariffs on over 95 percent of all imports, with an average tariff of 37 percent on imports during America’s economic climb between 1816 and 1947.
– For decades, the U.S. government received over 80% of its revenue through tariffs on foreign goods, instead of taxes on Americans.
– However, U.S. tariffs are now among the lowest in the world, making America the most import-pressured country in the world.
– The current China tariff average is 341 percent higher than the United States, and the European Union tariff average is 50 percent higher than the U.S. The world average tariff rate is more than twice that of the U.S.
– For example, food items like cereals or other preparatory goods are tariffed at 32.9 percent by India, 19.5 percent by China, and only 3.1 percent by the U.S. India applies a tariff of 25.3 percent on transportation equipment, while the U.S. only tariffs those goods at 2.9 percent.
– When the U.S. set low tariffs on foreign goods, foreign countries generally did not reciprocate, allowing them to flood the American market with cheap goods while keeping high, protective tariffs on their own markets.
– These unfair and unbalanced trade policies have hurt American businesses which cannot compete against their tariff-protected foreign rivals. The result has been a decrease in demand for U.S. domestic production, leading to a loss of manufacturing jobs and lower wages.
– President Trump’s return to common sense, reciprocal trade protections under the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act will strengthen industry in the United States.
– Matching the tariff practices of our foreign rivals will help protect American jobs, end our reliance on foreign competitors, and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in government revenue from foreign companies.
JOE BIDEN’S “AMERICA LAST” TRADE POLICIES HAVE GUTTED AMERICAN JOBS AND INDUSTRY:
– While President Trump plans to tax foreign rivals, Joe Biden stands by and does nothing while our foreign rivals tax American industry.
– Since the moment he took office, Joe Biden’s globalist trade policies skyrocketed the deficit, sending jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars overseas.
– Last year, the U.S. trade deficit increased to nearly $1 trillion, its highest point ever.
– The agricultural deficit shot up to more than $2 billion last year and is projected to increase to a record $14.5 billion in 2023.
– Under Joe Biden, the trade deficit with China has risen almost 10 percent to $383 billion just last year.
– The results of Joe Biden’s increases in the U.S. trade deficit are lower wages and fewer jobs for American workers.
– Real wages have sharply declined over 28 months under Biden’s weak trade policies that flood the American market with cheap foreign goods produced by cheap foreign labor.
– The $4 trillion in foreign imports in 2022 under Biden was the highest EVER.
– President Trump’s policies shrank the trade deficit with China during his administration.
THE TRUMP RECIPROCAL TRADE ACT IS AN ADDITIONAL TOOL, ALONG WITH UNIVERSAL BASELINE TARIFFS, TO SHRINK THE TRADE DEFICIT AND BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS AND WEALTH:
– President Trump previously announced a plan to replace the Biden system of punishing domestic producers and rewarding outsourcers with a new system that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
– Rather than raising taxes on American producers, President Trump will impose tariffs on FOREIGN producers through a system of universal baseline tariffs on most imported goods.
– Higher tariffs will increase incrementally if other countries manipulate their currency or otherwise engage in unfair trading practices.
– As tariffs on foreign countries go up, taxes on American workers, families, and businesses can come down.
– Raising tariffs on foreign producers while lowering taxes for domestic producers will help keep jobs and wealth in the United States.
– Higher tariffs create millions of new jobs, increase real household income, boost GDP, increase domestic manufacturing output, and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in new government revenue.
– President Trump’s universal baseline tariffs will restore a level playing field for American businesses worldwide.
– President Trump will also REVOKE China’s Most Favored Nation trade status. It is long past time China stops getting preferential treatment as they undermine American national security interests around the world.
– Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. will once again become a manufacturing powerhouse and attain economic independence from China.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden has run up record trade deficits, also known as losses, higher than any president in history by far. These gaping wounds are costing our country countless jobs and trillions and trillions of dollars in wealth.
One of my top economic priorities will be to stem this bleeding and put American workers on a level playing field.
It’s about time. And I must say, I did it three years ago, and they were doing great, but that’s been blown out the window by the Biden Administration.
But to that end, I will pass landmark legislation that will be known as the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.
If India, China, or any other country hits us with a 100 or 200 percent tariff on American-made goods, we will hit them with the same exact tariff. In other words, 100 percent is 100 percent. If they charge US, we charge THEM—an eye for an eye, a tariff for a tariff, same exact amount.
One thing is going to happen: probably they drop the tariff, but if they don’t, that’s okay. We’ll take in plenty of money.
Under the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, other countries will have two choices—they’ll get rid of their tariffs on us, or they will pay us hundreds of billions of dollars, and the United States will make an absolute FORTUNE. There will be no more unilateral economic surrender like we’ve done for many many decades.
This will especially help our great farmers in Iowa and other Agricultural states, and it will help our manufactures all across the nation. We will be knocking down barriers to American farm products, American dairy products, steel—just about everything you can think of. From all around the world they take advantage of us, but no more.
We must have FAIRNESS and RECIPROCITY.
That’s the word—reciprocity. They do it to us; we do it to them.
This will be a key part of our strategy to return jobs and wealth to the United States and launch an economic boom that will lift up our middle class and eliminate our dependence on China and other countries. And it is something that has been waiting to happen for a long time.
We have been the whipping post for everyone else. We have been a country that was disrespected on trade, and frankly, disrespected on just about everything. No more.
The Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.
Using Impoundment to Cut Waste, Stop Inflation, and Crush the Deep State
Bedminster, NJ— Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to restore executive branch impoundment authority to cut waste, stop inflation, and crush the Deep State.
“For 200 years under our system of government, it was undisputed that the President had the Constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending through what is known as Impoundment,” President Trump said.
“Very simply, this meant that if Congress provided more funding than was needed to run the government, the President could refuse to waste the extra funds, and instead return the money to the general treasury and maybe even lower your taxes, although we did give you the biggest tax reduction in history, and the biggest regulation reduction in history, two things I am very proud of.”
President Trump’s plan will naturally lead the Executive and Legislative Branches to work together to negotiate and gain better control of federal spending.
“I will use the president’s long-recognized Impoundment Power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy for massive savings. This will be in the form of tax reductions for you. This will help quickly to stop inflation and slash the deficit.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO RESTORE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IMPOUNDMENT AUTHORITY TO CUT WASTE, STOP INFLATION, AND CRUSH THE DEEP STATE
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL RESTORE THE IMPOUNDMENT POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH:
– President Trump will restore the Impoundment Power, reestablishing the balance of power between the Legislative and the Executive branches.
– On Day One, President Trump will direct federal agencies to identify portions of their budgets where massive savings are possible through the Impoundment Power, while maintaining the same level of funding for defense, Social Security, and Medicare.
– President Trump will take action to challenge the constitutionality of limits placed on the Impoundment Power by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (CBA), the source of Congress’s usurpation of Executive Branch powers.
– President Trump will also work with Congress to overturn the limits of the CBA.
– In passing the CBA, Congress handcuffed the president from preventing wasteful spending.
– The CBA dramatically limited impoundment, the power of the president to choose not to unnecessarily spend taxpayer dollars, forcing the executive branch to spend every penny of congressionally appropriated funds.
– Under current law, the president can request rescissions of funds, but those requests must be approved by both houses of Congress. The president can only defer the use of funds in limited instances.
– Leading constitutional scholars agree that impoundment is an inherent power of the president.
– Congress has the “power of the purse,” so its appropriations necessarily set a ceiling on federal spending for a particular purpose, but it should not set the floor.
– Article II of the Constitution vests the president with the inherent authority to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” which has historically been understood to mean that the president can impound funds when doing so allows him to enforce the law more effectively and efficiently.
– In defense of the president’s impoundment power against attacks from Congress, Joseph Sneed, Deputy Attorney General under President Richard Nixon, explained that the use of executive impoundment “to promote fiscal stability is not usurpation; rather it is in the great tradition of checks and balances upon which our Constitution is based.”
– Restoring the Impoundment Power will naturally lead the Executive and Legislative Branches to have to work together to negotiate and gain better control of federal spending.
– Although Congress has the power to appropriate funds, inherent within the president’s power to execute the law is a measure of discretion on how funds are spent, because spending decisions often depend on how laws are executed in practice.
– The CBA placed crippling burdens on the use of impoundment authority and on the president’s negotiating leverage with Congress over how taxpayer dollars are spent, leaving Congress with virtually unchecked budget authority.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH’S USE OF ITS CONSTITUTIONAL IMPOUNDMENT POWER DATES BACK TO THE EARLIEST DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC:
– The Executive Branch Impoundment Power traces its roots to the Jefferson Administration and the earliest days of the American Republic.
– In 1803, after France refused the U.S. access to the Port of New Orleans, Congress appropriated funding for 15 gunboats. President Jefferson refused to spend the money after determining that the purchase of the gunboats would jeopardize negotiations with the French.
– In his third annual message to Congress explaining why he had not purchased the gunboats as authorized by Congress, President Jefferson declared that a “favorable and peaceable turn of affairs on the Mississippi rendered an immediate execution of that law unnecessary.” President Jefferson used his power as the Chief Executive to impound congressionally appropriated funds based on his foreign policy and national security judgment that the use of the funds would be unwise and unnecessary.
– For 170 years, from President Jefferson to President Nixon, the chief executive routinely used the Impoundment Power to further national interests.
– In the 19th century, presidents James Buchanan and Ulysses S. Grant used impoundment in the context of domestic policy to prevent the use of funds to build post offices in Illinois and construct river and harbor improvements.
– Democratic administrations, such as those of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, also exercised the Impoundment Power.
– Today, the Impoundment Power is regularly used by 43 governors across the U.S.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RESTORATION OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IMPOUNDMENT POWER WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN FIGHT AGAINST WASTEFUL SPENDING:
– Since the CBA, wasteful overspending has exploded out of control.
– Congress has run deficits in all but four years since 1974.
– In 1974, the national debt was $475 Billion and 31 percent of the GDP. Today, it is $30.8 trillion and 123 percent of the GDP.
– Since the CBA was enacted, the federal debt has never gone below its 1974 level.
– Improper payments, payments made incorrectly by the federal government, cost the U.S. $247 billion in 2022.
– The U.S. government has lost nearly $2.4 trillion in simple payment errors over the last two decades.
– For 50 years, Congress has used the CBA to force the passage of gigantic, wasteful spending packages.
– Since the CBA, Congress has adopted a budget resolution on time only 6 times, missing the deadline by an average of 40 days.
– Congress has almost never met the CBA deadline for its 12 annual appropriations bills, often resorting to omnibus spending bills to rush appropriations through.
TRANSCRIPT
Crooked Joe Biden, our disgraced president, has wasted trillions of taxpayer dollars in less than three years—causing uncontrolled inflation that is crushing working families.
Reining-in Biden’s wasteful and unnecessary spending is vital to stopping inflation and rescuing our economy from ruin. But the pain of the spending cuts must be borne by the special interests and Washington bureaucrats, NOT by American families and American seniors in particular.
For 200 years under our system of government, it was undisputed that the President had the Constitutional power to stop unnecessary spending through what is known as Impoundment.
Very simply, this meant that if Congress provided more funding than was needed to run the government, the President could refuse to waste the extra funds, and instead return the money to the general treasury and maybe even lower your taxes, although we did give you the biggest tax reduction in history, and the biggest regulation reduction in history, two things I am very proud of. And they still are there, although they are disappearing rapidly under Biden.
Thomas Jefferson famously used this power, as did many other presidents until it was wrongfully curtailed by the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 – not a very good act. This disaster of a law is clearly unconstitutional—a blatant violation of the separation of powers.
When I return to the White House, I will do everything I can to challenge the Impoundment Control Act in court, and if necessary, get Congress to overturn it. We will overturn it.
I will then use the president’s long-recognized Impoundment Power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy for massive savings. This will be in the form of tax reductions for you. This will help quickly to stop inflation and slash the deficit.
To prepare for this eventuality, on Day One, I will order every federal agency to begin identifying large chunks of their budgets that can be saved through efficiencies and waste reduction using Impoundment.
Of course, this will not include national defense and, unlike Ron DeSanctimonious, who doesn’t really know what is happening, I will not lay a finger on Medicare or Social Security. He wants to destroy Social Security and basically obliterate Medicare. These are benefits for our seniors. We are not going to touch it. There are many other things we can do. We are not going to let Ron DeSanctus do anything to hurt Medicare or Social Security.
On the contrary, some of the funds we save through Impoundment from other parts of the government can be used to strengthen Medicare and Social Security for years to come.
Reasserting the president’s historic Impoundment authority will also restore critical negotiating leverage with Congress to keep spending under control. Very simple. We are going to keep spending under control.
We had it done and then Covid came in and we had to do some things to help save our country. We did a great job. But we were starting to make lots of money. We were Energy Independent. We were going to be Energy Dominant. We were going to be taking in massive amounts of money from the liquid gold that we have under our feet. More than any other nation. And we were going to reduce taxes and pay off debt.
This is the ONLY way we will ever return a balanced budget: Impoundment.
Just as importantly, bringing back Impoundment will give us a crucial tool with which to obliterate the Deep State, Drain the Swamp, and starve the Warmongers –– these people that want wars all over the place; killing, killing, killing, they love killing — and the Globalists out of government.
We are going to get the Warmongers and the Globalists out of our government.
With Impoundment, we can simply choke off the money.
This policy is anti-inflation, anti-Swamp, anti-globalist—and it’s pro-growth, pro-taxpayer, pro-American, and pro-freedom.
Addressing The Rise of Chronic Childhood Illnesses
Mar-a-Lago, FL— In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to address the sharp rise in chronic illnesses and health problems, especially among children.
“Every year, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to treat these chronic problems rather than looking at what is causing them in the first place,” President Trump said. “Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma—they make a lot of money, Big Pharma—big corporations, and other special interests, and resultingly they not want to ask the tough questions about what is happening to our children’s health.”
“If Big Pharma defrauds American patients and taxpayers or puts profits above people, they must be investigated and held accountable.”
Once President Trump returns to the Oval Office, he will establish a special Presidential Commission charged with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses.
President Trump will order the commission to then publish recommendations for how every American child can have a safe and healthy childhood.
TRANSCRIPT
In recent decades, there has been an unexplained and alarming growth in the prevalence of chronic illnesses and health problems, especially in children. We’ve seen a stunning rise in autism, auto-immune disorders, obesity, infertility, serious allergies, and respiratory challenges.
It is time to ask: What is going on?
Is it the food that they eat? The environment that we live in? The over-prescription of certain medications? Is it the toxins and chemicals that are present in our homes?
Every year, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to treat these chronic problems rather than looking at what is causing them in the first place. Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma—they make a lot of money, Big Pharma—big corporations, and other special interests, and does not want to ask the tough questions about what is happening to our children’s health. If Big Pharma defrauds American patients and taxpayers or puts profits above people, they must be investigated and held accountable.
When I am back in the White House, I will establish a special Presidential Commission of independent minds who are not bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and I will charge them with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses. I understand Big Pharma, I believe better than anyone else. I know where they’re coming from. And then, I will ask them to publish recommendations for how every American child can have a safe and healthy childhood.
This is a conversation that is long overdue—and it’s a conversation that American families deserve. American families must have this conversation, and they must have a leader—a president—who can do something about this problem.
Ending the Scourge of Drug Addiction in America
Mar-a-Lago, FL— In a new Agenda47 video, President Trump announced his plan to eradicate the drug addiction crisis in America.
“We will not rest until we have ended the drug addiction crisis,” President Trump said. “For three decades before my election, drug overdose deaths increased every single year. Under my leadership, we took the drug and fentanyl crisis head on, and we achieved the first reduction in overdose deaths in more than thirty years.”
President Trump proudly signed the SUPPORT Act—the largest investment EVER in combatting the opioid epidemic.
Once President Trump returns to the White House, he will forge new public-private partnerships for companies willing to provide job opportunities and skills training for former addicts and will expand federal support for faith-based counseling, treatment, and recovery programs.
SAVING AMERICAN LIVES: President Trump has pledged that he will not rest until we end this crisis. President Trump will:
– Impose a full naval embargo on the drug cartels and deploy military assets to inflict maximum damage on cartel operations.
– Insist on the full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the trafficking and smuggling networks in our region.
– Ask Congress to ensure that drug dealers and human traffickers receive the death penalty.
– Direct U.S. federal law enforcement to take down the gangs and organized street crime that distribute these deadly narcotics on a local level.
– Permanently designate fentanyl as a federally controlled substance.
– Tell China that if they do not clamp down on the export of fentanyl’s chemical precursors, they will pay a steep price.
– Strengthen the pillars of work, faith, and family which give life meaning and hope for those struggling with addiction.
– Make it easier for those suffering from addiction to seek treatment without losing their jobs.
– Forge new public-private partnerships for companies willing to provide job opportunities and skills training to former addicts.
– Expand federal support for faith-based counseling, treatment, and recovery programs.
– Ensure that if a parent, child, spouse, or relative needs to take time to care for a family member fighting to overcome addiction, they can take advantage of a family leave program.
ADDRESSING THE DRUG OVERDOSE EPIDEMIC: President Trump’s new plan builds on the historic actions he took during his administration to combat the drug addiction crisis in America.
– President Trump’s efforts to combat the drug crisis led to the first reduction in drug overdose deaths in 30 years.
– Between 2017 and 2019, drug overdose deaths declined by 16.8% in Ohio, 18.7% in Pennsylvania, and 10.6% in West Virginia.
– Drug overdose deaths declined by 15% in New Hampshire between 2017 and 2020.
– Under Biden, overdose deaths in New Hampshire have risen by 12%.
– In 2017, President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency and began an all-of-government effort to combat it.
– President Trump signed the SUPPORT Act—the largest investment EVER in combatting the opioid epidemic.
– By October 2018, President Trump had secured $6 billion to fight the epidemic.
– The Trump administration awarded state and local communities a record $9 billion in federal grants to increase access to treatment and prevention services.
– President Trump provided a fivefold increase in funding to help communities prevent and treat addiction, issuing 8,000 grants to over 1,800 new state and local partners.
– President Trump launched the Initiative to Stop Opioid Abuse and Reduce Drug Supply and Demand to confront the many causes fueling the drug crisis.
– The Trump Administration partnered with the Truth Initiative and Ad Council to launch a media campaign to educate Americans about opioid abuse. The campaign reached 58% of young American adults.
– President Trump negotiated a deal with China to crack down on the production and export of fentanyl’s chemical precursors.
– Under Biden, cooperation between China and the U.S. on drug trafficking has nearly come to a halt.
– During the Trump administration, the Department of Justice prosecuted more fentanyl traffickers than ever before and dismantled 3,000 drug trafficking organizations.
– From 2017 to 2019 the Trump Administration oversaw a 34% decrease in total amount of opioids being prescribed across the country.
– The DEA’s National Take Back Days recovered a record 4.7 million pounds of unused prescription drugs.
BIDEN’S FAILURE TO STOP THE DRUG ADDICTION CRISIS: Biden’s reckless open-border policy has allowed deadly drugs to pour into our country, making it impossible to properly combat the drug overdose epidemic.
– President Trump’s hard-won progress on the drug overdose crisis has been squandered because Biden surrendered our southern border to the cartels.
– Hundreds of thousands of pounds of deadly drugs are now pouring across Biden’s wide-open border and claiming the lives of over 100,000 Americans every year.
– Over two-thirds of these deaths involve the ultra-lethal fentanyl, which is primarily smuggled into our country through Mexico.
– Biden has terminated nearly every one of Trump’s successful border policies, including the end of catch-and-release, Remain in Mexico, Title 42, and Trump-era asylum cooperation agreements. Under Biden, the construction of the wall was halted and interior enforcement has effectively been abolished.
– The amount of fentanyl seized at the border more than tripled from 2020 to 2022.
– In the first five months of this year alone, border patrol seized enough fentanyl to kill 100 million people.
– Federal agents estimate that they are only able to seize 5 to 10 percent of all drugs being smuggled through the border from Mexico.
– Drug cartels and human smugglers are profiting from Biden’s open border, earning $13 billion in revenue last year—a 2,500% increase compared to 2018.
– Fueled in large part by Biden’s border disaster, fentanyl deaths have increased 94% since 2019, and fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45.
Celebration Of 250 Years Of American Independence at the Iowa State Fairgrounds
Mar-a-Lago, FL— In a new video, President Donald J. Trump pledged to honor America’s founding in 1776 with “Salute to America 250,” a one-year celebration of 250 years of American independence with Iowa at the center of the action.
“Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence,” President Trump said. “That’s why as a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time.”
Once back in the White House, President Trump will work with America’s 50 governors to create the “Great American State Fair” in Iowa, host major sporting events with American high school athletes, and sign an executive order to construct a National Garden of American Heroes.
To showcase our great country, President Trump will invite leaders and citizens from around the world to visit the United States, and President Trump will ask America’s courageous religious communities to pray for our great nation.
CELEBRATING AMERICA WITH IOWA AT THE CENTER OF THE ACTION: President Trump pledges to honor America’s founding in 1776 with a full year of celebration. President Trump will:
– On Day One, convene a White House task force called “Salute to America 250,” responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure an entire year of festivities across the country from Memorial Day 2025 to July 4th, 2026.
– Work with all 50 governors to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all fifty states.
– “My hope is that the amazing people of IOWA will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa state fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.”
– Host major sporting contests for high school athletes to allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skill, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit.
– Sign an Executive Order on Day One to bring back the National Garden of American Heroes and commission artists for the first 100 statues to populate the new park.
– Invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of the 250th anniversary.
– Ask America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion.
– Ask Americans to come together and re-dedicate ourselves as one nation under God as we chart a course toward the next 250 years of American history.
OFFERING AN INSPIRING AND UNIFYING VISION OF A SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN FUTURE: This plan builds on President Trump’s longstanding commitment to honor our nation’s 250th anniversary and offers Americans from every state in the Union the chance to come together and share innovative visions for a successful American future:
– In his first address to a joint session of Congress in February 2017, President Trump noted, “in 9 years the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding – 250 years since the day we declared our Independence.”
– In his remarks, President Trump outlined an optimistic vision for America grounded in a renewal of the American Spirit and expressed hope that “the 250th year for America will see a world that is more peaceful, more just, and more free.”
– President Trump stated, “When we fulfill this vision—when we celebrate our 250 years of glorious freedom—we will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of American Greatness began.”
– President Trump has promised to finish what he started and is once again proposing a bold, forward-looking agenda to restore American greatness.
– President Trump believes that the Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.
HONORING AMERICA’S HISTORY: Throughout his time in office, President Trump has consistently celebrated the glory of American Independence.
– During his time in office, President Trump honored our country’s founding in special remarks to the American people on Independence Day.
– On July 4, 2019, President Trump delivered “Salute to America” remarks at the Lincoln Memorial where he said, “With a single sheet of parchment and 56 signatures, America began the greatest political journey in human history.”
– In his 2020 “Salute to America” Independence Day remarks, President Trump stated, “Two hundred and forty-four years ago in Philadelphia, the 56 signers of our Declaration of Independence pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to boldly proclaim this eternal truth: that we are all made equal by God.”
– The President added, “Thanks to the courage of those patriots of July 4th, 1776, the American Republic stands today as the greatest, most exceptional, and most virtuous nation in the history of the world.”
– In his remarks at Mount Rushmore on July 3, 2020, President Trump noted, “Our Founders launched not only a revolution in government, but a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity… It was all made possible by the courage of 56 patriots who gathered in Philadelphia 244 years ago and signed the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said: ‘…all men are created equal.'”
– President Trump added, “1776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of western civilization and the triumph not only of spirit, but of wisdom, philosophy, and reason.”
– In July 2020, the President took action to establish the National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park that will memorialize our American heroes for generations to come.
– On September 17, 2020, Constitution Day, the President convened the first White House Conference on American History to address ongoing attempts to distort America’s history.
– During the conference, President Trump declared, “To grow up in America is to live in a land where anything is possible, where anyone can rise, and where any dream can come true — all because of the immortal principles our nation’s founders inscribed nearly two and a half centuries ago.”
– In November 2020, President Trump also created the 1776 Commission to improve understanding of the history and principles of our nation’s founding among America’s rising generations.
– In its “1776 Report”, the Commission stated, “As we approach the 250th anniversary of our independence, we must resolve to teach future generations of Americans an accurate history of our country so that we all learn and cherish our founding principles once again.”
TRANSCRIPT
Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence. What a great country. We have to keep it that way. But that’s why as a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time. Here is my plan to give America’s founding in 1776 the incredible anniversary it truly deserves.
On Day One, I will convene a White House task force called “Salute to America 250”. It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th, 2026.
Second, I will work with all 50 Governors, Republican and Democrat alike, to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all fifty states. It’ll be something. The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.
My hope is that the amazing people of IOWA will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa state fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.
Together we will build it, and they will come.
Third, alongside the Great American State Fair, we will host major sporting contests for high school athletes. These are great athletes, wonderful athletes from fantastic high schools all around the country. These Patriot Games will allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skill, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit.
Fourth, I will sign an Executive Order to bring back our National Garden of American Heroes, which we want to build very badly, and commission artists for the first one hundred statues to populate this new statuary park honoring the greatest Americans of all time.
Fifth, as President, I will invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of our 250th anniversary. It’s going to be great. America’s tourist industry should get ready because we’re going to have a lot of people coming. It will be a record year.
And finally, and most importantly, I ask America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion. From the very beginning, America has been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer and by our communities of faith. As we chart a course toward the next 250 years, let us come together and re-dedicate ourselves as one nation under God.
Day One Executive Order Ending Citizenship for Children of Illegals and Outlawing Birth Tourism
Mar-a-Lago, FL— In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to sign an executive order on Day One to end automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens.
“As part of my plan to secure the border, on Day One of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship,” President Trump said.
“My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, deter more migrants from coming, and encourage many of the aliens Joe Biden has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO DISCOURAGE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION BY ENDING AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP FOR THE CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND OUTLAWING BIRTH TOURISM
A DAY-ONE EXECUTIVE ORDER TO SHUT OFF A MAGNET FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
– On Day One, President Trump will sign an Executive Order to stop federal agencies from granting automatic U.S. citizenship to the children of illegal aliens.
– It will explain the clear meaning of the 14th Amendment, that U.S. Citizenship extends only to those both born in AND “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
– It will make clear that going forward, the children of illegal aliens will not be granted automatic citizenship, and should not be issued passports, Social Security numbers, or be eligible for certain taxpayer funded welfare benefits.
– It will direct federal agencies to require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic U.S. citizens.
– This Executive Order ending automatic citizenship for the children of illegal aliens will eliminate a major incentive for illegal immigration, discourage future waves of illegal immigration to exploit this misapplication of citizenship, and encourage illegal aliens in the U.S. to return home.
– The Executive Order will also stop “Birth Tourism.”
– Through “Birth Tourism,” tens of thousands of foreign nationals fraudulently enter the U.S. each year during the final weeks of their pregnancies for the sole purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for their child.
– Under the current erroneous interpretation, the children of these foreign nationals are then eligible to receive a host of government benefits reserved for U.S. citizens, including a myriad of welfare programs and taxpayer funded healthcare, as well as chain migration and the right to vote.
– The Executive Order is part of a larger strategy to fully secure the Southern Border starting on Day One. It will remove a major incentive for illegal aliens and other foreign nationals to come to and remain in the United States in violation of our laws and National sovereignty.
– The announcement of today’s Executive Order follows a historical slate of hundreds of executive actions, proclamations, and presidential memorandums on border security and immigration that President Trump implemented while in office to remake the immigration system in the United States for the interest of the American people, including:
– Executive Order Implementing the Travel Ban and Pausing Refugee Admissions
– Executive Order on Border Security and Immigration Enforcement
– Presidential Memorandum on the Extreme Vetting of Foreign Nationals
– Presidential Memorandum to Create a National Vetting Center
– Executive Order to Unleash Interior Immigration Enforcement
– Executive Order to Block Federal Grants to Sanctuary Cities
– Presidential Memorandum Ordering DHS to Train National Guard Troops to Assist with Border Enforcement
– Presidential Memorandum to End “catch and release” at the Border
– Presidential Proclamation Suspending Entry Across Southern Border Outside Ports of Entry to Bar Asylum Access
– Executive Order requiring the U.S. Government to Prioritize the Hiring of U.S. Workers in the Administration of all Immigration Programs
– Executive Order on Aligning Federal Contracting and Hiring Practices with the Interests of American Workers
– Presidential Proclamation Suspending Chain Migration, Visa Lottery, and All Non-Essential Foreign Workers
– Presidential Proclamation on Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare System
– Presidential Memorandum to Cut Off Immigrant Access to the Welfare State
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDER WILL FINALLY ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NO LONGER ADHERES TO A PATENTLY INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT:
– Constitutional scholars have shown for decades that granting automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States is based on a patently incorrect interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
– The 14th Amendment extends federal citizenship to “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
– The purpose of the 14th Amendment had nothing to do with the citizenship of immigrants, let alone the citizenship of the children of illegal aliens. Its purpose was to extend citizenship to people newly freed from slavery, whose status was left in question after the infamous case Dred Scott v. Sandford.
– The framers of the 14th Amendment made clear that “persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers” are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S.
– For years, open-borders proponents have deliberately misinterpreted “subject to the jurisdiction” in the 14th Amendment to mean merely subject to American law, which is the case for anyone physically present in the United States.
– This twisting of the amendment’s meaning and intent has caused America to become one of the few countries in the world to extend citizenship to the children of illegal aliens even if both parents are not citizens nor even legally present in the United States, thus diluting the privileges that Americans are entitled to.
BIDEN’S OPEN BORDER POLICY IS A NATIONAL SECURITY, ECONOMIC, AND HUMANITARIAN DISASTER:
– A record number of illegal aliens crossed the southern border in both 2021 and 2022. In the official numbers alone, there have been over 6.6 million illegal crossings since Biden took office—but the true numbers are much higher.
– Biden has deliberately made his border disaster worse by abolishing Title 42 this month, allowing for an additional 400,000 illegal aliens from all corners of the globe to pour across our border each month.
– This invasion is wasting our resources, lowering our citizens’ wages, poisoning our communities with lethal drugs, and threatening our national security.
– Illegal immigration reduces American workers’ wages by $99 to $118 billion each year, with the burden falling most heavily on low-wage workers.
– Thousands of pounds of deadly drugs are pouring across our borders, poisoning over 100,000 of our citizens each year. Fueled in large part by Biden’s border disaster, fentanyl poisoning has become the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.
– Nearly 100 known or suspected terrorists were arrested at the border last year—more than three times the total for the previous five years combined. Border arrests of illegal alien murderers increased by over 1,900% and arrests of illegal alien drug traffickers increased by 480% since 2020.
– Biden’s open border policy has also created a humanitarian crisis, with migrant deaths reaching a record high last year and human smuggling arrests up 82% since 2014.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden has launched an illegal foreign invasion of our country allowing a record number of illegal aliens to storm across our borders. From all over the world, they came. Under Biden’s current policies even though these millions of illegal border crossers have entered the country unlawfully, all of their future children will become automatic U.S. citizens. Can you imagine?
They’ll be eligible for welfare, taxpayer-funded healthcare, the right to vote, chain migration, and countless other government benefits, many of which will also profit the illegal alien parents. This policy is a reward for breaking the laws of the United States and is obviously a magnet, helping draw the flood of illegals across our borders.
They come by the millions and millions and millions. They come from mental institutions, they come from jails– prisoners, some of the toughest, meanest people you’ll ever see. The United States is among the only countries in the world that says that even if neither parent is a citizen nor even lawfully in the country, their future children are automatic citizens the moment the parents trespass onto our soil. As has been laid out by many scholars, this current policy is based on a historical myth, and a willful misinterpretation of the law by the open borders advocates. There aren’t that many of them around.
It’s an amazing. Who wants this? Who wants to have prisoners coming into our country? Who wants to have people who are very sick coming into our country? People from mental institutions coming into our country? And come they will, they’re coming by the thousands, by the tens of thousands.
As part of my plan to secure the border on Day One of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship. It’s things like this that bring millions of people to our country, and they enter our country illegally. My policy will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, deter more migrants from coming, and encourage many of the aliens Joe Biden has unlawfully let into our country to go back to their home countries.
They must go back. Nobody could afford this. Nobody could do this. And even morally it’s so wrong. My order will also end their unfair practice known as birth tourism, where hundreds of thousands of people from all over the planet squat in hotels for their last few weeks of pregnancy to illegitimately and illegally obtain US citizenship for the child, often to later exploit chain migration to jump the line and get green cards for themselves and their family members.
It’s a practice that’s so horrible, and so egregious, but we let it go forward. At least one parent will have to be a citizen or a legal resident in order to qualify. We will secure our borders and we will restore our sovereignty. Starting on Day One, our country will be great again. Our country will be a country again. We’ll have borders, we’ll have proper education, and we’ll put America First.
Protecting Students from the Radical Left and Marxist Maniacs Infecting Educational Institutions
President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left and Marxist maniacs.
President Trump will protect American students, impose real standards on higher education, and hold colleges and universities accountable.
“For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding while academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth,” President Trump said. “The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that.”
President Trump has pledged to fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.
He will impose real standards on American colleges and universities, to include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, removing all DEI bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are getting their money’s worth.
Once back in the White House, President Trump will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination and will advance a measure to have schools that continue these illegal and unjust policies fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.
TRANSCRIPT
For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding while academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth. The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that.
Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system. It’s called accreditation for a reason.
The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers, but they have failed totally. When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics.
We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all.
These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly, removing all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money’s worth.
Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.
A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-working taxpayers and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all.
We are going to have real education in America.
Ending the Nightmare of the Homeless, Drug Addicts, and Dangerously Deranged
In a new Agenda47 video, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to rescue American cities from the scourge of homelessness, the drug addicted, and the dangerously deranged.
“Our once-great cities have become unlivable, unsanitary nightmares, surrendered to the homeless, the drug addicted, and the violent and dangerously deranged. We are making the many suffer for the whims of a deeply unwell few,” President Trump said. “For a small fraction of what we spend upon Ukraine, we could take care of every homeless veteran in America. Our veterans are being treated horribly.”
President Trump will work with states to ban urban camping, offering violators the option to either receive treatment and rehabilitation or face arrest.
“When I am back in the White House, we will use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets. We want to take care of them, but they have to be off our streets. There is nothing compassionate about letting these individuals live in filth and squalor rather than getting them the help they need. We need professionals to help them.”
When President Trump returns to the White House, he will open large parcels of inexpensive land, bring in doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab specialists, and create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified.
In addition, President Trump will bring back mental institutions to house and rehabilitate those who are severely mentally ill or dangerously deranged with the goal of reintegrating them back into society.
By ending the mass unskilled migration at our borders and ending the endless flow of American treasure to Ukraine, we will be able to provide the resources and opportunities needed to help America’s homeless veterans, who are currently treated poorly.
President Trump will end the scourge of homelessness and make our cities clean, safe, and beautiful once again.
TRANSCRIPT
Our once-great cities have become unlivable, unsanitary nightmares, surrendered to the homeless, the drug addicted, and the violent and dangerously deranged. We are making many suffer for the whims of a deeply unwell few. And they are unwell indeed.
The homeless have no right to turn every park and sidewalk into a place for them to squat and do drugs. Americans should not have to step over piles of needles and waste as they walk down a street in a beautiful city. Or at least once beautiful city because they’ve changed so much over the last ten years.
Our first consideration should be the rights and safety of the hardworking, law-abiding citizens who make our society function.
When I am back in the White House, we will use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets. We want to take care of them, but they have to be off our streets.
There is nothing compassionate about letting these individuals live in filth and squalor rather than getting them the help that they need. We need professionals to help them.
For a small fraction of what we spend upon Ukraine, we could take care of every homeless veteran in America. Our veterans are being treated horribly.
Likewise, with all the money we will save by ending mass unskilled migration, we will have a huge dividend to address this crisis in our own country.
Under my strategy, working with states, we will BAN urban camping wherever possible.
Violators of these bans will be arrested, but they will be given the option to accept treatment and services if they are willing to be rehabilitated. Many of them don’t want that, but we will give them the option.
We will then open up large parcels of inexpensive land, bring in doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab specialists, and create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified. We will open up our cities again, make them livable and make them beautiful.
For those who are just temporarily down on their luck, we will work to help them quickly reintegrate into a normal life.
For those who have addictions, substance abuse, and common mental health problems, we will get them into treatment.
And for those who are severely mentally ill and deeply disturbed, we will bring them back to mental institutions, where they belong, with the goal of reintegrating them back into society once they are well enough to manage. It’s a tough task, a very tough task, what’s taken place on the streets, what’s taken place when they’re taking so much drugs. But the fact is we’re going to try.
This strategy will be far better and also far less expensive than spending vast sums of taxpayer money to house the homeless in luxury hotels without addressing their underlying issues—and they have so many of these underlying issues and needs.
This is how I will end the scourge of homelessness and make our cities clean, and safe, and beautiful once again. We will do it. We will bring back America.
Liberating America from Biden’s Regulatory Onslaught
President Donald J. Trump will liberate America from Joe Biden’s wasteful and job-killing regulatory onslaught and reign in the out-of-control bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.
In a new Agenda47 policy video, President Trump announced a series of bold actions to restore control of our government to the American people.
President Trump will bring the independent regulatory agencies, such as the FCC and the FTC, back under Presidential authority, as the Constitution demands. No longer will unelected members of the Washington Swamp be allowed to act as the fourth branch of our Republic.
President Trump vowed to restore his successful executive order requiring that for every one NEW regulation, two OLD regulations currently on the books must be eliminated.
In addition, President Trump will create an ultra-streamlined federal regulatory framework specifically for new Freedom Cities, which will lead to invention of new industries and provide Americans with safe and affordable living.
President Trump promised to implement a regulatory budget to place a hard cap on the costs of government regulation, ban bureaucrats from pursuing enforcement action on informal guidance alone, and will require all government regulations be posted publicly or be made null and void.
Finally, President Trump will take swift and unprecedented action to protect Americans from the out-of-control Deep State.
“I will require every federal employee to pass a new Civil Service test demonstrating an understanding of our Constitutional limited government,” President Trump said. “This will include command of due process rights, equal protection, Free Speech, religious liberty, federalism, the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure—I know all about that at Mar-a-Lago, don’t I— and all the other constitutional limits on federal power.”
When President Trump returns to the White House, he will put unelected bureaucrats back in their place, liberate the U.S. economy, and attract millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to our shores.
TRANSCRIPT
Cutting wasteful and job-killing regulations was a key part of my America First economic agenda that built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
As I work to quickly save America from Joe Biden’s economic disaster—and that’s what it is, one of the great economic disasters of all time—I will restore my famously successful executive order requiring that for every one NEW regulation, two OLD regulations must be eliminated—and I will ask Congress to make it permanent.
We will again implement a regulatory budget, putting a hard cap on the cost of regulations to the U.S. economy. Instead of GROWING the size and scope of the federal government every year, we will SHRINK it every year with aggressive cost reduction targets for each federal department.
In addition, I will require that all agency regulatory guidance must be posted publicly in a central database, or else be rendered null and void. And many of them will in fact be null and void. This will effectively repeal a mountain of stealth regulations and threats that rogue bureaucrats have imposed without proper oversight.
And I will sign a law to ban bureaucrats from taking any enforcement action based on informal guidance alone. For example, never again will bureaucrats be allowed to bully and pressure banks to choke off or financially de-platform politically disfavored industries. We’re not going to let that happen.
Next, I will bring the independent regulatory agencies, such as the FCC and the FTC, back under Presidential authority, as the Constitution demands. These agencies do not get to become a fourth branch of government, issuing rules and edicts all by themselves. And that’s what they’ve been doing. We will require that they submit any regulations they are considering for White House review.
In addition, we will create an ultra-streamlined federal regulatory framework specifically for Freedom Cities, allowing them to be true frontiers for the return of U.S. manufacturing, the invention of new industries, the rebirth of economic opportunity, and safe and affordable living.
Finally, I will require every federal employee to pass a new Civil Service test demonstrating an understanding of our Constitutional limited government. This will include command of due process rights, equal protection, Free Speech, religious liberty, federalism, the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure—I know all about that at Mar-a-Lago, don’t I— and all the other constitutional limits on federal power.
We will put unelected bureaucrats back in their place, liberate the U.S. economy, and attract millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to our shores.
Firing the Radical Marxist Prosecutors Destroying America
In a new Agenda47 policy video, President Donald J. Trump pledged to restore justice in America and end the corrupt weaponization of our justice system by dangerous Marxist prosecutors.
“There is no more dire threat to the American Way of Life than the corruption and weaponization of our Justice System—and it’s happening all around us,” President Trump said. “If we cannot restore the fair and impartial rule of law, we will not be a free country.”
President Trump will also appoint 100 U.S. Attorneys who will be the “polar opposite of the Soros District Attorneys” who are destroying the rule of law in America, overhaul the Department of Justice and the, and order sweeping civil rights investigations into Marxist local district attorneys.
“As part of this effort, there should be a federal inquiry into the Soros prosecutor in Austin, Texas, who charged a veteran with murder for defending himself against a threat by a heavily armed member of a radical left mob,” President Trump continued.
When President Trump returns to the White House, he will order the Department of Justice to establish a task force on protecting the right to self-defense.
The new plan will also confront the radicalization of America’s law schools and fight the purge of Conservatives at law firms.
TRANSCRIPT
There is no more dire threat to the American Way of Life than the corruption and weaponization of our Justice System—and it’s happening all around us. If we cannot restore the fair and impartial rule of law, we will not be a free country.
As President, it will be my personal mission to restore the scales of justice in America. We will have fairness and equality under the law.
To that end, I will appoint U.S. Attorneys who will be the polar opposite of the Soros District Attorneys and others that are being appointed throughout the United States. Very unfair to our population. Very unfair to our country.
They will be the 100 most ferocious legal warriors against crime and Communist corruption that this country has ever seen.
As we completely overhaul the federal Department of Justice and FBI, we will also launch sweeping civil rights investigations into Marxist local District Attorneys. And that’s what we have—they are Marxist in many cases.
By refusing to charge countless crimes, these Soros prosecutors appear to be engaging in selective enforcement based on illegal racial discrimination.
In Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and every other city where these maniacs have taken over, the DA’s offices should face federal subpoenas of their staff, their emails, and their records to determine whether they have blatantly violated federal Civil Rights law.
As part of this effort, there should be a federal inquiry into the Soros prosecutor in Austin, Texas, who charged a veteran with murder for defending himself against a threat by a heavily armed member of a radical left mob. I will also order the Department of Justice to establish a task force on protecting the right to self-defense, which is under siege nationwide.
In addition, we will have a complete investigation into the use of police state tactics by federal authorities to arrest conservatives and Christians. We will find out who ordered it, and we will hold them totally accountable.
There is much more that we must do. We have to confront this radicalized law in schools. You take a look at what they’ve done to our schools, our beautiful schools.
We have to reform the far-left Bar Associations and stop the purge of Conservative lawyers from major law firms. I will do whatever it takes to save our legal system—among the greatest achievements of Western Civilization—from the Marxist barbarians who seek to destroy it. And we will do that, we will save it.
President Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People
President Donald J. Trump announced a bold plan to return power back to the American people by cleaning out the Deep State, firing rogue bureaucrats and career politicians, and targeting government corruption.
This plan will also end the ongoing weaponization of the justice system that targets its political enemies simply because of their political or religious beliefs.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PLAN TO SHATTER THE DEEP STATE AND RETURN POWER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
“I will shatter the Deep State, and restore government that is controlled by the People.” – President Donald J. Trump
CLEAN OUT THE DEEP STATE: President Trump has announced a ten-point plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption:
1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats.
2. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus.
3. Fundamentally reform the FISA courts, ensuring that corruption is rooted out.
4. Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.
5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.
6. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state.
7. Establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure that they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.
8. Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado.
Up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington.
9. Ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma.
10. Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
FIRE ROGUE BUREAUCRATS AND CAREER POLITICIANS: President Trump’s plan will ensure that federal bureaucrats and politicians are held accountable to the American people.
Currently, removing corrupt or poor-performing federal workers is time consuming and cumbersome. Firing underperforming employees takes a year or longer, and is often completely impossible.
One study found that over a ten-year period, federal employees were fired at a rate of less than one in one thousand per year.
Additionally, Congressional term limits are necessary to curb the rise of career politicians—the reelection rate for House members is 94% and over the past half century has not fallen below 80%. The re-election rate for the Senate in 2022 was 100% and has not fallen below 75% since 1982.
TARGET GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION: President Trump’s plan targets the corruption that has plagued our federal government and harmed Americans.
The Biden administration has weaponized the FBI and DOJ to target conservatives, Christians, and their political enemies.
A leaked and since-withdrawn FBI memo recently revealed that FBI agents were likening traditional Catholics to “domestic terrorists.”
Bureaucrats from the FBI and DHS directly colluded with social media companies during the 2020 election to censor Americans’ speech.
During the Russia collusion hoax, government officials routinely selectively leaked information to the media to further their anti-Trump narrative.
The FISA Court process was corrupted by the Obama-Biden administration. In the leadup to the 2016 election, the FISA court issued multiple warrants to spy on members of the Trump campaign that were later declared invalid by the Justice Department Inspector General because the FBI made “material misstatements” in obtaining them.
The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that in their applications for FISA warrants, the FBI made 17 significant “errors” and “omissions.”
The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that the “central” piece of evidence the FISA warrants relied on was opposition research from the Clinton campaign.
An FBI lawyer admitted that he forged an email in an attempt to ensure that the Obama-Biden administration’s spying on the Trump campaign through FISA warrants could continue.
TRANSCRIPT
Here’s my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.
First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.
Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.
Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it, they’re lied to.
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.
Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.
Sixth, we will make every Inspector General’s Office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.
Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.
Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions can be moved out. And I mean immediately out of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.
Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. Doesn’t work that way—such a public display cannot go on and it’s taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma.
Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
Ending Biden’s War on the Suburbs That Pushes the American Dream Further From Reach
President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to end Joe Biden’s war on America’s suburbs in a new Agenda47 video. Biden’s proposed rule that every state, county, and city submit “equity plans” to the federal government will push the American dream out of reach for countless American families.
“The woke left is waging full scale war on the suburbs, and their Marxist crusade is coming for your neighborhood, your tax dollars, your public safety, and your home,” President Trump said. “When I get back into the Oval Office, one of my first acts will be to repeal Joe Biden’s radical left attack on the suburban lifestyle.”
Biden’s extremist agenda to destroy America’s suburbs calls for the federal government to abolish zoning for single family homes, destroy property values by building giant multifamily apartment complexes in the suburbs, and force communities to pay for low-income housing developments.
This Biden power grab will put radical left-wing bureaucrats in charge of micromanaging Americans’ neighborhoods and communities.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL STOP BIDEN’S WAR ON THE SUBURBS
BIDEN’S WAR ON THE SUBURBS: The Biden administration has proposed a new rule that would result in a federal takeover of the suburbs.
Biden recently proposed a rule that will require every state, county, city, and town to submit a so-called “equity” plan to impose the left’s Marxist housing agenda on your communities.
This Biden power grab will put radical left-wing bureaucrats in charge of micromanaging Americans’ neighborhoods and communities.
The Biden administration will use the power of the federal government to abolish zoning for single-family homes and destroy property values by building giant multi-family apartment complexes in the suburbs.
Biden’s new rule would allow unelected Washington bureaucrats to coerce over 1,200 cities and counties into complying with their mandates rather than allowing each community to make decisions based on their individual needs.
Instead of promoting housing fairness, these regulations will push the American dream out of reach for countless minority families.
From 2010-2020, the largest growth in the suburbs came from racial minorities, including Hispanic Americans and Black Americans. A majority of Black and Hispanic Americans now live in the suburbs.
DESTROYING COMMUNITIES: Biden has a long history of waging war on homeownership and the suburban way of life.
The Obama-Biden administration issued the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule (AFFH), which stripped local communities of their decision-making authority.
Like Biden’s new housing rule, AFFH would have destroyed our suburbs by imposing crippling regulations on local governments and communities and allowing the federal government to dictate local zoning decisions.
Biden’s 2021 infrastructure bill included plans to coerce state and local jurisdictions to eliminate single-family zoning.
During his 2020 campaign, Biden supported a proposal to withhold federal funding for road repair from suburbs that do not get rid of single-family zoning.
The Biden administration introduced emissions standards that would drive up the price of vehicles, making a new car unaffordable for millions of Americans and making it more difficult for many families living in the suburbs to commute to work.
Biden’s policies have led to an inflation crisis that has caused home and mortgage prices to skyrocket, pricing 18 million families and individuals out of the housing market last year.
SAVING THE AMERICAN DREAM: President Trump has promised to save America’s suburbs and help people from all backgrounds achieve the American dream of homeownership.
President Trump will immediately repeal Biden’s radical regulatory push to end the suburban way of life.
This agenda builds upon President Trump’s actions during his administration to protect our suburbs by repealing the Obama-Biden administration’s AFFH rule.
President Trump recently announced that he will hold a competition to build new Freedom Cities on the frontier to give countless Americans a new shot at homeownership.
President Trump has also promised to launch a special initiative to lower the cost of a new car and the cost to build a single-family home.
President Trump made it easier for Americans to buy a new car by repealing Obama-Biden-era fuel standards with the SAFE Vehicles Rule which was projected to lower the price of new vehicles by $2,200.
President Trump’s deregulatory achievements put more money in American families’ pockets, saving the average American household an extra $3,100 each year, and especially helping low income Americans increase their purchasing power by up to 15%.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden recently announced that he will require every state, county, city, and town to submit so-called equity plans to impose the Left’s Marxist housing agenda on your communities. This is not what we need.
The Biden power grab will put radical and racist left-wing bureaucrats in charge of micromanaging the housing where you live. And nobody can be happy about that. I talked about it during my last campaign and people understood it very well.
They will use the power of the federal government to abolish zoning for single family homes, destroy your property values by building giant multifamily apartment complexes in the suburbs— and even next to your house—and force your community to pay for low-income housing developments right next door.
The woke left is waging full scale war on the suburbs, and their Marxist crusade is coming for your neighborhood, your tax dollars, your public safety, and your home. When I get back into the Oval Office, one of my first acts will be to repeal Joe Biden’s radical left attack on the suburban lifestyle.
Just as I blew up Barack Obama’s leftist housing monstrosity just a few years ago—and I blew it up—the Biden war on the suburbs will be over and it’ll never happen again. That whole mess will never ever happen again. We pray for our country.
Joe Biden Has Been a Disaster for the Economy
In a new Agenda47 policy video, President Donald J. Trump highlighted the importance of not bailing out banks that have collapsed under Joe Biden’s disastrous economy of higher inflation and soaring interest rates.
“We’re seeing bank failures that nobody believed even possible just two years ago,” President Trump said. “There should be no bailouts. But we need to get this economy straightened out as fast as possible. We’re headed down a very dangerous path.”
“When I’m back in the White House, I will immediately unleash energy production, slash regulations, like I did just three years ago, and repeal Biden’s tax hikes to get inflation down as fast as possible, and it will go quickly, so that interest rates can get back under control. I built the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden has been a disaster for the economy. Between his massive tax hikes, his anti-energy crusade, and his trillions of dollars in wasteful spending, Biden caused the highest inflation in almost half a century.
As a result, interest rates soared to crushing levels. And now we’re seeing bank failures that nobody believed even possible just two years ago. Joe Biden is leading us toward a Great Depression.
I’ve been saying it for a long time. There should be no bailouts. But we need to get this economy straightened out as fast as possible. We’re headed down a very dangerous path.
When I’m back in the White House, I will immediately unleash energy production, slash regulations, like I did just three years ago, and repeal Biden’s tax hikes to get inflation down as fast as possible, and it will go quickly, so that interest rates can get back under control.
Preventing World War III
In a new Agenda47 video released today, President Donald J. Trump explains the difference between the globalist establishment class, and those who are truly committed to stopping the Ukraine war and dismantling the entire neo-con nation-building industrial complex in Washington, D.C.
“Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war,” President Trump said. “We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to IMMEDIATELY have a total cessation of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need PEACE without delay.”
“There must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First.”
In the latest Agenda47 announcement, President Trump slams the corrupt globalist class for dragging our country through endless foreign wars, while destroying our homeland.
“These globalists want to squander all of America’s strength, blood and treasure, chasing monsters and phantoms overseas—while keeping us distracted from the havoc they’re creating right here at home. These forces are doing more damage to America than Russia and China could ever have dreamed.”
TRANSCRIPT
We have never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden. A global conflict between nuclear-armed powers would mean death and destruction on a scale unmatched in human history. It would be nuclear Armageddon. NOTHING is more important than avoiding that nightmare. We will avoid it. But we need new leadership.
Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war. We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to IMMEDIATELY have a total cessation of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need PEACE without delay.
In addition, there must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First. We have to put America First.
Finally, we have to finish the process we began under my Administration of fundamentally reevaluating NATO’s purpose and NATO’s mission. Our foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict with a nuclear-armed Russia based on the lie that Russia represents our greatest threat. But the greatest threat to Western Civilization today is not Russia. It’s probably, more than anything else, ourselves and some of the horrible, U.S.A. hating people that represent us. It’s the abolition of our national borders. It’s the failure to police our own cities. It’s the destruction of the rule of law from within. It’s the collapse of the nuclear family and fertility rates, like nobody can believe is happening. It’s the Marxists who would have us become a Godless nation worshipping at the altar of race, and gender, and environment. And it’s the globalist class that has made us totally dependent on China and other foreign countries that basically hate us.
These globalists want to squander all of America’s strength, blood and treasure, chasing monsters and phantoms overseas—while keeping us distracted from the havoc they’re creating right here at home. These forces are doing more damage to America than Russia and China could ever have dreamed. Evicting the sick and corrupt establishment is the monumental task for the next president. And I’m the only one who can do it. I’m the only one that can get the job done. I know exactly what has to be done.
A New Quantum Leap to Revolutionize the American Standard of Living
President Trump unveiled his new Quantum Leap plan that will create a new American future and modernize communities across the country. By building new cities, investing in transportation, lowering the cost of living for everyone, and modernizing public spaces across the country, President Trump has laid out a bold strategy to revolutionize the American Standard of Living.
“Past generations of Americans pursued big dreams and daring projects that once seemed absolutely impossible,” President Trump said. “Today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way. Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American Standard of Living.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S OBJECTIVE IS A QUANTUM LEAP
IN AMERICA’S STANDARD OF LIVING
“It is time to start talking about GREATNESS for our country again. I will dramatically increase living standards and build a future that brings our country together through excitement, opportunity, and success.” – President Donald J. Trump
BUILDING FREEDOM CITIES: President Trump will work to open up the American frontier, holding a contest to charter new cities where families and individuals can have a new shot at the American Dream.
The federal government owns nearly one-third of the land mass of the United States. Hundreds of millions of these acres are empty.
President Trump proposes a national contest to charter up to 10 new cities on a very small portion of federal land and award these charters to the best ideas and proposals for development.
Of the approximately 640 million acres owned by the federal government, 10 charters roughly the size of the District of Columbia would amount to just a few one-hundredths of a percent—about 0.06%.
Freedom Cities will be built on federal land that is undeveloped and not part of any of our country’s magnificent national parks or other natural treasures. These cities will give hundreds of thousands of hardworking American families a new opportunity for home ownership and the American Dream.
REVOLUTIONIZING AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION: President Trump will launch the biggest revolution in American transportation since the interstate highway system.
Dozens of companies in the U.S. and China are currently racing to develop vertical takeoff-and-landing vehicles to lead the next generation in air mobility.
President Trump will work to ensure that America, not China, leads this new industry, using the full range of tools and authorities available to the federal government.
Just as the automotive revolution created extraordinary economic growth and helped link our country together, the coming air mobility revolution can transform commerce, bring an infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families and our country in new ways.
DRAMATICALLY LOWERING THE COST OF LIVING FOR YOUNG PARENTS AND WORKING FAMILIES: President Trump will lower the cost of living for all Americans.
President Trump will ask Congress to provide young parents with “baby bonuses” to help launch a new baby boom.
President Trump will work to make it easier to raise a family by launching a major initiative to lower the cost of living, especially lowering the cost of building a home and buying a new car.
Home prices have increased by over $93,000 on average in the past few years.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has more than doubled since January 2021.
The cost of buying a car is also rising, with a new car averaging nearly $50,000.
MAKING AMERICA THE WORLD’S UNPARALLELED MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER. President Trump’s Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative will revitalize forgotten communities by turning them into flourishing hives of industry.
President Trump’s America First Trade Policy will replace the current system of punishing domestic producers and rewarding outsourcers with a new system of universal baseline tariffs that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
Higher tariffs will create millions of new jobs, increase real household income, boost GDP, increase domestic manufacturing output, and generate trillions of dollars of new wealth to strengthen American society.
In addition to universal baseline tariffs on most foreign goods, President Trump’s Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative will reclaim our economic independence from China. President Trump will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation trade status and adopt a 4-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods—everything from electronics to steel to pharmaceuticals – bringing many of those jobs back home.
GREAT MODERNIZATION AND BEAUTIFICATION CAMPAIGN: President Trump will work to improve our country’s public spaces for the benefit of all Americans.
President Trump will challenge the governors of all 50 states to join him in a great modernization and beautification campaign — getting rid of ugly buildings, refurbishing our parks and our public spaces, making cities and towns more livable, and working to create a pristine environment.
President Trump will also support the construction of towering monuments to our true American heroes.
To ensure that our cities are safe, President Trump will always stand for law and order and continue to support our brave police officers.
TRANSCRIPT
Past generations of Americans pursued big dreams and daring projects that once seemed absolutely impossible. They pushed across an unsettled continent and built new cities in the wild frontier. They transformed American life with the interstate highway system—magnificent it was. And they launched a vast network of satellites into orbit all around the earth.
But today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way. If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable, how good it was, how great it was for our country.
Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American Standard of Living. That’s what will happen. Here are just a few of the ways we can do it.
Almost one third of the land-mass of the United States is owned by the federal government. With just a very, very small portion of that land— just a fraction [of] one half of one percent—would you believe that? We should hold a contest to charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.
In other words, we’ll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at home ownership and in fact, the American Dream.
Another big opportunity is in transportation. Dozens of major companies in the U.S. and China are racing to develop vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles for families and individuals. Just as the United States led the automotive revolution in the last century, I want to ensure that America, not China, leads this revolution in air mobility. These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into RURAL America, and connect families and our country in new ways.
Likewise, through our Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative, which is going to be very big and very, very successful, we will turn forgotten communities into hives of industry, producing the goods we will no longer import from China.
We will also have a major initiative on lowering the cost of living, with a special focus on lowering the cost of a new car and lowering the cost to build a single-family home. And they will be beautiful homes.
And I will ask Congress to support “Baby Bonuses” for young parents to help launch a new baby boom.
Finally, I will challenge the governors of all 50 states to join me in a great modernization and beautification campaign—getting rid of ugly buildings, refurbishing our parks and our public spaces, making cities and towns more livable, ensuring a pristine environment, and building towering monuments to our true American heroes.
Very importantly, I will also make sure all of these new places are safe. We love and cherish our police. They will do the job the way they have to.
It is time to start talking about GREATNESS for our country again.
I will dramatically increase living standards and build a future that brings our country together through excitement, opportunity, and success.
Reversing Biden’s EO Embedding Marxism in the Federal Government
Mar-a-Lago, FL – As Joe Biden recently announced his Marxist executive order that seeks to impose racist and woke sexual ideology across the federal government, President Donald J. Trump has pledged to eradicate any attempt to weaken America’s institutions through these harmful and discriminatory “equity” programs.
Instead of making decisions based on merit or qualifications, these policies from Biden are enforced based on skin color and sexual identity.
“Biden is weaponizing every tool of government power to push this racism and this Communism and Marxism,” President Trump said. “I will instruct the Department of Justice to make clear that any such discrimination is completely and totally illegal, and to investigate the unlawful domination and discrimination and civil right abuses carried out by the Biden administration.”
All staff, offices, and initiatives connected to Biden’s un-American policy will be immediately terminated. President Trump will create a team to review and reverse actions under Biden’s “equity” agenda and request Congress to establish a restitution fund for those unjustly discriminated against by these destructive policies.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL REVERSE BIDEN’S MARXIST EXECUTIVE ORDER
“Every institution in America is under attack from this Marxist concept of ‘equity.’… I will get this extremism out of the White House, out of the military, out of the Justice Department, and out of our government.” — President Donald J. Trump, March 2, 2023
RESTORING THE AMERICAN PROMISE OF EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER LAW: President Trump will eliminate all race and sex-based discrimination throughout the federal government.
On day one, President Trump will revoke Biden’s Marxist DEI executive order, and reinstate the Trump 2020 executive order banning stereotyping based on race and sex in the federal government.
President Trump will instruct the Department of Justice to make clear that any such discrimination by the U.S. government is illegal.
The Trump administration will investigate the unlawful discrimination and civil rights abuses carried out by the Biden administration.
President Trump will immediately terminate all staffers hired to implement Biden’s policy and eliminate all related offices and initiatives.
President Trump will create a special team to rapidly review every action taken by federal agencies under Biden’s “equity” agenda that will need to be reversed.
President Trump will ask Congress to create a restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by these “equity” policies, and he will restore a merit-based federal civil service.
A WOKE TAKEOVER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: Joe Biden recently signed executive order is designed to embed Marxist ideology in every part of the federal government.
Biden’s order requires that nearly every federal department and agency establish an “equity” enforcement squad to implement a woke takeover of the entire federal government.
The Marxist concept of “equity” involves the sinister practice of awarding jobs and benefits and enforcing government programs based on skin color or sexual identity rather than on merit and need.
Biden’s order weaponizes every tool of government power to push this Marxism and Communism.
Under Biden’s order, within 30 days, over 20 agencies including the Treasury, the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense will be requiredto implement an “Agency Equity Team.”
These teams will be tasked with infusing radical left-wing concepts and training throughout the federal workforce as well as submitting annual equity plans to a new White House Steering Committee on Equity.
A member of Biden’s administration recently admitted that the goal is to put the concept of equity “at the center of how this government operates.”
Biden’s order re-establishes discrimination in America’s federal programs and forces the creation of an insidious system that discriminates based on race and sex.
BIDEN’S DISCRIMINATORY AGENDA: The Biden administration has a long history of abandoning the principles of equal treatment for all Americans and pursuing discriminatory and Marxist policies instead.
From day one, Biden has made it his mission to infuse radical policies into the federal government. Biden abolished President Trump’s 1776 Commission and quickly rolled out an education agenda that encourages teaching American children to erase the Declaration of Independence and its timeless truth that “all men are created equal.”
Last year, the Biden administration released 25 “equity action plans” that effectively call for allocating government resources based on an individual’s race or identity rather than need.
Multiple judges have found that the Biden administration has engaged in unconstitutional discrimination under the guise of “equity.”
The Biden administration attempted to grant loan forgiveness to certain groups of farmers while excluding others before the program was blocked by a federal judge.
Another federal judge found that the Biden administration was engaging in race based discrimination in the allocation of COVID relief to restaurant owners.
The Biden administration and Democrats have also used “equity” as a catch-all term to justify each one of their radical policies, from the Green New Deal to defunding the police.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden recently signed a very sinister executive order mandating that almost every federal department and agency establish a Marxist “equity”—this is something new—enforcement squad to implement a woke takeover of the entire federal government.
Every institution in America is under attack from this Marxist concept of “equity.”
Instead of treating everyone equally, making decisions based on merit or qualifications, “equity” means that benefits are awarded and policies are enforced based on skin color and sexual identity. We don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s a catch-all term used by the Radical Left to justify every one of its crazy programs. Climate change is now about fighting “environmental racism”. They falsely accuse law enforcement of racism to explain why they must end cash bail instead of busting up bloodthirsty gangs that kill people all over our cities.
With his action, Biden is weaponizing every tool of government power to push this racism and this Communism and Marxism, or whatever you want to call it. When FEMA, the EPA, and the FAA, and IRS are corrupted and tasked with enforcing “equity,” freedom and equality under the law are absolutely DEAD.
I will revoke this executive order on my first day back in office. I will look forward to it.
The Oval Office is a wonderful place, but also a wonderful place to stop things that are very bad for our country from happening.
I will instruct the Department of Justice to make clear that any such discrimination is completely and totally illegal, and to investigate the unlawful domination and discrimination and civil right abuses carried out by the Biden administration.
I will immediately terminate all staffers hired to implement this policy, and eliminate all offices and initiatives connected to it. We will not allow it to happen.
I will create a special team to rapidly review every action taken by federal agencies under Biden’s “equity” agenda that will need to be reversed. We will reverse almost all of them. Maybe, in fact, all of them.
I will also urge Congress to create a restitution fund for Americans who have been unjustly discriminated against by these “equity” policies, and I will restore a merit-based federal civil service.
I will get this extremism out of the White House, out of the military, out of the Justice Department, and out of our government. We don’t want it in our country.
The United States of America will be strong again.
Reclaiming America’s Independence by Slashing Biden’s Disastrous Trade Deficits
President Donald J. Trump released a new video today detailing the importance of protecting American industries by slashing trade deficits created by Joe Biden’s nation-wrecking policies. Biden’s devastating, job-killing trade deficits have enriched China with hundreds of billions of dollars, which they are using to take over American real estate, factories, and wealth-creating industries.
While in office, President Trump successfully cut trade deficits, which created millions of jobs, achieved rapid wage growth, and led to over 17,000 new factories on American soil.
Yesterday, President Trump released his new America First trade platform that replaces the disastrous Biden system of punishing domestic producers and rewarding outsourcers with a new pro-America system of universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
BIDEN’S NATION-WRECKING TRADE DEFICITS HAVE AMERICA ON PATH TO RUIN
“Joe Biden has America on a path to subservience and economic ruin and everybody knows it, and other countries are laughing at us. Under my leadership, we will end his gigantic job-killing trade deficits, reclaim our independence, and launch a great economic boom.”
– President Donald J. Trump
February 28, 2023
SOARING TRADE DEFICITS: Under Biden, our trade deficits have risen to the highest levels in our country’s history, devastating American workers and businesses.
Biden has stood by and watched as America’s trade deficits have soared.
Under the Biden administration, this nation’s trade deficits have risen to record high levels, killing jobs, killing factories, and killing America’s economic future.
Last year, America’s trade deficit rose to the highest level on record, at nearly $1 trillion. The deficit with China rose to $383 billion.
The agriculture trade deficit rose to $2 billion last calendar year, and USDA recently projected that in fiscal year 2023 the agriculture trade deficit will rise to a record $14.5 billion.
A NATION IN DECLINE: Trade deficits are destroying American jobs and communities and threaten our national security.
Trade deficits have led to massive job losses in America’s manufacturing sector. Increased imports decrease demand for domestic production, leading to a loss of manufacturing jobs.
The growing trade deficit with China between 2001 and 2015 alone led to an estimated loss of 3.4 million jobs.
After the twin disasters of NAFTA and China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, the U.S. lost 60,000 factories.
The current trade deficit is bolstering China, which uses the money it bilks from America to buy up American real estate and wealth-creating industries.
China owns over 194,000 acres of U.S. farmland, and at least 2,400 U.S. companies are majority-owned by Chinese investors and firms.
China is also using the money it is siphoning off from America to rapidly build up their military, putting U.S. national security at risk.
China has developed hypersonic missiles, and their military has more naval ships and serving military members than the U.S. China also dominates the global market for the mining and processing of components critical for missiles, firearms, and radars.
RETURNING TO AN AMERICA FIRST TRADE POLICY: President Trump’s America-First Trade Platform will bolster American manufacturing and help American jobs and businesses come roaring back to life, just like they did during his administration.
During the Trump administration before the pandemic, America’s overall trade deficit decreased.
America’s trade deficit with China also decreased by $73 billion in 2019.
President Trump followed through on his promise to bring back American manufacturing, with more than 500,000 new manufacturing jobs created before the pandemic.
Manufacturing job growth soared to a more than two decade high in 2018.
In 2019, wages grew at the fastest rate in a decade, and 17,000 new factories opened up for business in the U.S.
President Trump’s new Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative will once again cut the trade deficit and bring millions of jobs back to America.
President Trump will impose universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products and raise them if a foreign country engages in unfair trade practices.
President Trump will eliminate unfair trade deals and negotiate better deals for American workers.
President Trump also will implement a bold series of reforms to completely eliminate dependence on China in all critical areas, including by prohibiting federal contracts to any American company that outsources to China.
TRANSCRIPT
Under Joe Biden’s nation-wrecking policies, our trade deficits are exploding like never before, killing jobs, killing factories, and killing America’s economic future. As President, I began to successfully slash our trade deficits before the pandemic.
Now, the Biden administration has us bleeding wealth on a historic scale like never seen before. These gigantic trade deficits are also known as losses. Last year, we lost $383 billion to China, and nearly $1 trillion all over the world. The largest trade deficit in the history of our country, by far.
Through these unsustainable losses, we are handing China more and more of our jobs, more and more victories, and long-term prosperity in exchange for cheap, disposable consumer goods. We foolishly send China hundreds of billions of dollars and China uses those dollars to buy up our real estate, our factories, and our wealth-creating industries.
And they also use all that money to build up their military and they’re doing it rapidly. In short, Joe Biden has America on a path to subservience and economic ruin and everybody knows it and other countries are laughing at us. Under my leadership, we will end his gigantic job-killing trade deficits, reclaim our independence, and launch a great economic boom.
When I was President, the so-called experts hysterically predicted that my tariffs on China, Mexico, and other countries would crash the economy. Instead, the opposite happened. Exactly the opposite.
Under my policies, we had virtually no inflation. We had tremendous job creation. We had rapid wage growth for the first time in many, many years. And we had more than 17,000 new factories open up for business right here in the USA. Through my Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative, we will do it again. We’ll be bigger and better and stronger than we’ve ever been. And we did a great job two years ago. We’ll do even better this time.
President Trump’s New Trade Plan to Protect American Workers
President Donald J. Trump announced his America First trade plan to replace the disastrous Biden system of punishing domestic producers and rewarding outsourcers with a new pro-America system of universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
“Biden’s pro-China economic program puts America last and it’s killing our country,” President Trump said. “My cutting-edge trade agenda will revitalize our economy by once again putting America first. We will quickly become a manufacturing powerhouse like the world has never seen before.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S AMERICA FIRST TRADE POLICY
“The Biden agenda taxes America to build up China. My agenda will tax China to build up America.” – President Donald J. Trump
February 27, 2023
UNIVERSAL BASELINE TARIFFS: President Trump has announced a plan to replace the Biden system of punishing domestic producers and rewarding outsourcers with a new system that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
Rather than raising taxes on American producers, President Trump will impose tariffs on FOREIGN producers through a system of universal baseline tariffs on most imported goods.
Higher tariffs will increase incrementally if other countries manipulate their currency or otherwise engage in unfair trading practices.
As tariffs on foreign countries go up, taxes on American workers, families, and businesses can come down.
The Biden administration has proposed nearly $2 trillion in tax increases on American citizens and levied draconian tax hikes on Americans’ household energy, 401ks, and pension plans.
The Biden administration’s globalist policies sell out American citizens and result in a windfall for foreign countries.
In 2022, the United States trade deficit reached $948.1 billion, the largest on record, and the agricultural trade deficit exceeded $2 billion.
President Trump’s trade policy is firmly rooted in American history. America used to impose tariffs on over 95% of all imports, and for decades the federal government took in over 80% of its revenue by taxing foreign producers through tariffs—not by taxing American workers and businesses.
ENDING RELIANCE ON CHINA: President Trump’s America First trade policy will completely eliminate U.S. dependence on China–the primary beneficiary of Democrats’ globalist agenda.
In addition to universal baseline tariffs on most foreign goods, President Trump’s plan will reclaim our economic independence from China. President Trump will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation trade status and adopt a 4-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods—everything from electronics to steel to pharmaceuticals. This will include strong protections to ensure China cannot circumvent restrictions by passing goods through conduit countries.
President Trump will establish new rules to stop U.S. companies from investing in China and stop China from buying up America, allowing only those investments that serve American interests.
President Trump will ban federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.
Under Biden and the Democrats, American wealth and jobs are being exported to China.
The U.S. trade deficit with China has risen almost 10% under Biden to $382.9 billion last year alone.
A BETTER DEAL FOR AMERICAN WORKERS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES: President Trump’s plans will bring back millions of American jobs and generate trillions of dollars of new wealth to strengthen American society.
President Trump’s tariff plans will be the linchpin of a new Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative that will rebalance the global trading system and dramatically strengthen America.
Raising tariffs on foreign producers while lowering taxes for domestic producers will help keep jobs and wealth in the United States.
Higher tariffs create millions of new jobs, increase real household income, boost GDP, increase domestic manufacturing output, and generate hundreds of billions of dollars in new government revenue.
President Trump’s universal baseline tariffs will restore a level playing field for American businesses worldwide.
U.S. exports have historically faced higher tariffs from foreign countries than nearly all of America’s trade competitors.
President Trump will build on his historic success in abolishing NAFTA, which Joe Biden voted for, after which 60,000 factories closed and 4.5 million manufacturing jobs were lost. President Trump replaced NAFTA with the USMCA, a historic breakthrough in leveling the playing field for American workers, famers, and manufacturers.
TRANSCRIPT
Joe Biden claims to support American manufacturing—but in reality, he is pushing the same pro-China globalist agenda that ripped the industrial heart out of our country. It ripped us apart. Biden and the globalists support RAISING taxes on American production. They support MORE crippling regulations killing American jobs. They support skyrocketing domestic energy costs. And they support massive anti-American multinational agreements that send our wealth and factories overseas.
Very simply, the Biden agenda taxes AMERICA to build up CHINA.
China is the big beneficiary. We cannot let that happen. And just a couple of years ago, it wasn’t happening. China paid to the United States hundreds of billions of dollars and no other president got ten cents. Legitimately, ten cents from China.
My agenda will tax CHINA to build up AMERICA.
The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro-American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers, to a system that REWARDS domestic production and taxes FOREIGN companies and those who export American Jobs. They will be rewarded and rewarded greatly. And our country will benefit.
To achieve this goal, we will phase in a system of universal, baseline tariffs on most foreign products. On top of this, higher tariffs will increase incrementally depending on how much individual foreign countries devalue their currency. They devalue their currency to take advantage of the United States, and they subsidize their industries, or otherwise engage in trade cheating and abuse. And they do it now like never before, and we had it largely stopped and it was going to be stopped completely within less than a year.
As tariffs on foreign producers go up, taxes on American producers will go down and go down very substantially. And that means a lot of jobs coming in.
Not only will this system end our gaping trade deficits—and they are massive right now—and bring back millions of American jobs—it will also bring trillions and trillions of dollars pouring into the U.S. Treasury from foreign countries and allow us to invest that money in American workers, American families, and American communities.
This plan will be the linchpin of a new Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative, that builds on my historic success in ending NAFTA, which was a tremendous thing, a tremendous achievement, nobody thought it could be done, and we did USMCA—US-Mexico-Canada, and it was an incredible thing. But we’re also going to end other unfair trade deals, and we’ll end them quickly.
In addition, as a matter of both economic and national security, I will implement a bold series of reforms to completely eliminate dependence on China in all critical areas.
We will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation trade status, and adopt a 4-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods—everything from electronics to steel to pharmaceuticals. This will include strong protections to ensure China cannot circumvent restrictions by passing goods through conduit countries—countries that don’t make a product, but all of a sudden they’re making a lot of the product, it comes right through China, right out of China, and right into our country.
We will also adopt new rules to stop U.S. companies from pouring investments into China, and to stop China from buying up America, allowing all of those investments that clearly serve American interests. We’re not going to allow bad things to happen to our country anymore. And we will eliminate federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.
Biden will never get the job done. He is weak on China because the corrupt Biden family has received millions and millions of dollars from entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Everybody knows that. They try and hide it, and the Fake News doesn’t want to talk about it.
Biden’s pro-China economic program puts America LAST, and it’s killing our country—my cutting-edge trade agenda will revitalize our economy by once again putting America FIRST.
And by the way, we’ll get along very well with China. And you know what the reason is? They’ll respect us again, like they did just two years ago.
We will quickly become a manufacturing powerhouse like the world has never seen before.
President Trump Continues to Lead on Protecting Americans from Radical Leftist ESG Investments
President Donald J. Trump released a new Agenda47 policy video vowing to once again ban insidious “Environmental, Social, and Governance” (ESG) investments in order to protect Americans’ hard-earned savings and investments from woke financial scams. President Trump’s bold actions set the example for Republicans across the country to follow his lead in fighting ESG.
During his Administration, President Trump required investors of retirement plans to put American seniors first—barring companies from considering any factor other than what will maximize benefits for retirees.
Since taking office, Joe Biden reversed all the work the Trump Administration did to stop investors from playing politics with American seniors’ hard-earned money.
When President Trump returns to the White House, he will immediately ban ESG investments through executive order and work with Congress to enact a permanent ban.
“The rule we issued under my leadership was the first ESG ban anywhere in the world,” President Trump said. “And I’m delighted that Republicans in Congress and across the country have been waking up to this threat and following my lead.”
“Unfortunately, Joe Biden gutted my ESG rule and now his Department of Labor has declared that fund managers can play politics with our seniors’ hard-earned savings. Biden has already crushed your 401Ks.”
“When I’m back in the White House, I will sign an executive order and, with Congress’ support, a law to keep politics away from America’s retirement accounts forever.”
Transcript:
I’m very proud that as President, I issued a historic rule banning Wall Street and employers from pouring your 401Ks, pensions, and retirement accounts into so called ESG or Environmental, Social, and Governance investments for political reasons—strictly for political reasons. These people are sick. These poorly performing woke financial scams are radical left garbage that would never be funded on their own, and certainly never be funded on their own merits.
The entire ESG scheme is designed to funnel your retirement money to the maniacs on the radical left. The rule we issued under my leadership was the first ESG ban anywhere in the world. And I’m delighted that Republicans in Congress and across the country have been waking up to this threat and following my lead.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden gutted my ESG rule and now his Department of Labor has declared that fund managers can play politics with our seniors’ hard-earned savings and play it they are. Biden has already crushed your 401Ks. If you take a look at the 401Ks when I was there, they were going like a rocket ship straight up.
And now they’re going like that rocket ship is crashing.
But pensions and retirement accounts with his radicalism and incompetence, they’re going down and they’re going down big and nobody’s seen anything like it. With his action or with this action, he’s trying to use your money to fund fringe left-wing causes at your expense.
You’re paying the price for all of this, and it’s destroying our country. When I’m back in the White House, I will sign an executive order and with Congress’ support, a law to keep politics away from America’s retirement accounts forever.
I will demand that funds invest your money to help you, not them, but to help you. Not to help the radical left communists, because that’s exactly what they are. I will once again protect our seniors, just like I did before, from the woke left and the woke left is bad news. They destroy countries.
President Trump Announces Plan to Stop the America Last Warmongers and Globalists
President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to defeat the America Last warmongers and globalists in the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the national security industrial complex.
President Trump presided over an era of Peace through Strength and was the only President in generations who did not start a war during his term. He rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s generals, bureaucrats, and diplomats who only know how to get America into unnecessary conflicts.
While Joe Biden’s weakness has brought the United States to the brink of World War III, President Trump has committed to purge the swamp lobbyists and the defense contractors from pushing our senior military and national security officials toward unnecessary wars for their own financial gain.
“For decades, we’ve had the very same people, such as Victoria Nuland and many others just like her, obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department’s support for uprisings in Ukraine,” President Trump. “These people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world, and now, we’re teetering on the brink of World War III. And a lot of people don’t see it, but I see it, and I’ve been right about a lot of things.”
“Take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents. That’s because they’re candidates of war. I am the President who delivers peace, and it’s peace through strength. There was a reason we had no conflict, there was a reason we didn’t get into wars, because other countries respected us.”
Transcript:
World War III has never been closer than it is right now. We need to clean house of all of the warmongers and America-Last globalists in the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the national security industrial complex.
One of the reasons I was the only president in generations who didn’t start a war is that I was the only president who rejected the catastrophic advice of many of Washington’s Generals, bureaucrats, and the so-called diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict, but they don’t know how to get us out.
For decades, we’ve had the very same people, such as Victoria Nuland and many others just like her, obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO, not to mention the State Department’s support for uprisings in Ukraine. These people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case in Iraq and other parts of the world, and now, we’re teetering on the brink of World War III. And a lot of people don’t see it, but I see it, and I’ve been right about a lot of things. They all say, “Trump’s been right about everything.”
None of this excuses in any way the outrageous and horrible invasion of Ukraine one year ago, which would have NEVER happened if I was your president—not even a little chance. But it does mean that here in America, we need to get rid of the corrupt globalist establishment that has botched every major foreign policy decision for decades, and that includes President Biden, whose own people said he’s never made a good decision when it comes to looking at other countries and looking at wars. We have to replace them with people who support American interests.
Over our 4 years in the White House, we made incredible progress in putting the America-Last contingent aside and bringing the world to peace—and now, we’re going to complete the mission. The State Department, Pentagon, and National Security Establishment will be a very different place by the end of my administration. In fact, just into my administration it’ll be a very different place, and it’ll get things done just like I did four years ago. We never had it so good. We’ll also stop the lobbyists and the big defense contractors from going in and pushing our senior military and national security officials toward conflict, only to reward them when they retire with lucrative jobs—getting paid millions and millions of dollars.
Take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents. That’s because they’re candidates of war. I am the President who delivers peace, and it’s peace through strength. There was a reason we had no conflict, there was a reason we didn’t get into wars, because other countries respected us. I entirely built all right from the beginning—rebuilt our military. It’s a big reason for that. They didn’t want to mess around with the United States, and now they’re laughing at us. We could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours with the right leadership. At the end of my next four years, the warmongers, and frauds, and failures in the senior ranks of our government will all be gone, and we will have a new group of competent national security officials who believe in defending America’s vital interests above all else.
President Trump Announces Plan to End Crime and Restore Law and Order
President Donald J. Trump unveiled his new plan to stop out-of-control crime and keep all Americans safe. In his first term, President Trump reduced violent crime and stood strongly with America’s law enforcement. On Joe Biden’s watch, violent crime has skyrocketed and communities have become less safe as he defunded, defamed, and dismantled police forces.
“Joe Biden and the ‘Defund the Police’ Democrats have turned our once great cities into cesspools of bloodshed and crime,” President Trump said.
President Trump’s Plan to Keep American Communities Safe
1. President Trump will sign a record investment in hiring, retention, and training for police officers. The bill will increase vital liability protections for America’s law enforcement officers.
2. President Trump will require local law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ grants to return to proven policing measures such as stop-and-frisk, strictly enforcing existing gun laws, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, and cooperating with ICE to arrest and deport criminal aliens.
3. President Trump will take on the radical Marxist prosecutors who have abolished cash bail and refuse to charge criminals. President Trump will direct the DOJ to open civil rights investigations into radical leftist prosecutor’s officers, such as those in Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco to determine whether they have illegally engaged in race-based law enforcement.
4. President Trump will instruct the Department of Justice to dismantle every gang, street crew, and drug network in America. President Trump has also called for the death penalty for drug dealers and human traffickers.
5. President Trump has committed to deploying federal assets, including the National Guard, to restore law and order when local law enforcement refuses to act.
6. President Trump will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors.
7. Finally, President Trump will sign concealed carry reciprocity legislation, fully secure the border, dramatically increase interior enforcement, and wage war on the cartels.
Transcript:
Joe Biden and the ‘Defund the Police’ Democrats have turned our once great cities into cesspools of bloodshed and crime. There’s never been anything like it. Here’s my plan to restore law and order in our cities and throughout our country, frankly.
First, because police forces have been gutted by Democrats’ war on police, I will sign a record investment in hiring, retention and training for police officers nationwide. So important.
This bill will also increase vital liability protections for officers because the Democrats want to take those protections away from our police, because we want them to do their jobs, and we want them to do their jobs right. You can’t take their protections away if you’re going to have them do their jobs properly.
Second, to qualify for this new funding and all other Justice Department grants, I will insist that local jurisdictions return to proven common sense policing measures, such as stop and frisk— very simple—you stop them and you frisk them, strictly enforcing existing gun laws against convicted felons, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, and cooperating with ICE to get criminal aliens off our streets and get them out of our country.
Third, we will go after the radical Marxist prosecutors who are abolishing cash bail, refusing to charge crimes, and surrendering our cities to violent criminals. They have surrendered like never before. I will direct the DOJ to open civil rights investigations into radical left prosecutor’s offices, such as those in Chicago, L.A., and San Francisco to determine whether they have illegally engaged in race-based enforcement of the law.
I will also work with Congress to give the victims of their Marxist policies the right to sue local officials for harm and suffering, and it has been great that they have caused. If your small business is pillaged because shoplifting goes unpunished, if you’re brutally attacked by a violent felon released without bail or bond, then you will be entitled to massive damages.
Fourth, I will order the Department of Justice or as some people call it the ‘Department of injustice’ right now and Homeland Security to dismantle every gang, street crew, and drug network in America. Every single one of them will be dismantled.
We already know where these turf wars and drug dens are. We know who the people are. And we’re going to charge them and charge the culprits with every crime that we can find. We’re going to be fair, but we’re going to be tough. We also need the death penalty for drug dealers, so important. And I’d also add to that human traffickers. Drug dealers and human traffickers. They get the death penalty, watch it stop and stop quickly.
Fifth, in cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order, where the fundamental rights of our citizens are being intolerably violated, I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the National Guard until safety is restored.
If Nancy Pelosi would have accepted our National Guard or our soldiers, you wouldn’t have had January 6, but she and the mayor of D.C. didn’t do that.
Sixth, we will end the leftist takeover of school discipline and juvenile justice. Many of these carjackers and criminals are 13, 14, and 15 years old. I will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors. So, when troubled youth are out of control, they’re out on the streets and they’re going wild, we will stop it. The consequences are swift, certain and strong and they will know that.
Seventh, they will protect the right of self-defense everywhere it is under siege. And I will sign concealed carry reciprocity. Your Second Amendment does not end at the state line. In addition, I will of course fully secure the border, dramatically increase interior enforcement, and wage war on the cartels.
We have never had a border so secure as it was just two years ago. And now our border is the worst anywhere in the world, and possibly of all time. There’s never been a country that allowed to happen what’s happening in the United States right now, where millions of people are pouring across our borders. They come from mental institutions. They come from the prisons. They’re all being led out so they can come into the United States. They’re poisoning our country.
We will also take back our streets from the homeless, the drug addicted, and the mentally ill. I will discuss those plans in much more detail very soon. That is how I will bring back public safety to America. I want to thank you. We’re going to Make America Great Again and we’re going to Make America Safe Again.
President Trump on Making America Energy Independent Again
President Donald J. Trump released a new policy video highlighting the need to unleash American energy by lowering energy costs for middle class families that have skyrocketed under Joe Biden’s failed leadership and slashing energy-killing regulations installed by the radical Biden administration.
During his State of the Union speech Biden said, “We’re going to need oil for at least another decade,” which proves he is completely short-sighted and disconnected from reality about the importance of American energy.
“Joe Biden’s war on American energy is one of the key drivers of the worst inflation in 58 years, and it’s hitting every single American family very, very hard,” President Trump said. “Biden reversed every action I took that achieved energy independence and soon we were going to be energy dominant all over the world.”
“When I am back in the White House, I will bring back a pro-American energy policy at long last.”
“This great undertaking will also help restore hope and aspiration to America’s young people, instead of being irrationally terrified by political predictions of climate apocalypse. Instead of toiling, for low wages or left-wing make-work projects, I have a vision that will give young Americans a chance to find real meaning and work once again, like we had it two and a half years ago, building the backbone of America that is powerful, prosperous, productive, vigorous, modern, independent, and free.”
Transcript:
Joe Biden’s war on American energy is one of the key drivers of the worst inflation in 58 years, and it’s hitting every single American family very, very hard. Biden reversed every action I took that achieved energy independence and soon we were going to be energy dominant all over the world. Energy dominant.
He cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline, he reentered the horrendous Paris Climate Accord, so unfair to the United States, good for other countries, so bad for us. He put up huge roadblocks to new oil, gas and coal production and much, much more.
In effect, Biden’s anti-American energy crusade is a massive tax hike on everything. Higher energy costs, raise the price of food, raw material, shipping, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and everything else.
The country that now benefits most from Joe Biden’s radical left Green New Deal is China. High energy prices in America are a gift to China, a major factor in driving our heavy industry overseas. If you want to be an advanced manufacturing nation, you must be able to produce low-cost energy. You’ll never be a rich nation without it.
And if you want to deindustrialize the United States, then you would seek to drive up the cost of energy here as much as possible, just as Joe Biden has done, perhaps unknowingly. That I don’t know. That’s why Biden’s energy agenda is China’s energy agenda.
That’s why China signs up for every stupid globalist climate deal, and then immediately breaks it. They don’t live up to their deals. When I’m back in the White House, I will bring back a pro-American energy policy at long last.
As you know, China paid hundreds of billions of dollars to the United States when I was president. No other president got ten cents, check it out, not even ten cents. I will deploy a team of warrior lawyers to hunt down every unnecessary regulation in the federal registry that hampers domestic production.
And we will wipe them off the books. We will again get out of Paris. And we will rapidly issue approvals for all worthy energy infrastructure projects with a focus on maximum speed to bring prices down rapidly. So, get those proposals ready now, because we are going to put thousands of Americans to work building the power plants, pipelines, grids, ports, refineries, and shipping terminals of tomorrow. We are going to have very inexpensive energy again, like we did just two and a half years ago.
This great undertaking will also help restore hope and aspiration to America’s young people, instead of being irrationally terrified by political predictions of climate apocalypse. Instead of toiling, for low wages or left-wing make-work projects, I have a vision that will give young Americans a chance to find real meaning and work once again, like we had it two and a half years ago, building the backbone of America that is powerful, prosperous, productive, vigorous, modern, independent, and free.
We will be great again as a country under the next Trump administration. The return of American jobs and the American dream will be powered by the return of American energy.
Nobody has more liquid gold under their feet than the United States of America. And we will use it and profit by it and live with it. And we will be rich again and we will be happy again. And we will be proud again. Thank you very much.
Stopping Chinese Espionage
President Donald J. Trump released a new video detailing China’s increased espionage within the United States and Joe Biden’s weak leadership in allowing China to trample on American sovereignty.
“As President, I took the most dramatic action of any administration to curtail China’s ability to conduct espionage in the United States,” President Trump said. “And when I’m back in the White House, those efforts will be expanded in a very, very big way. Instead of hunting down Republicans, a reformed FBI and Justice Department will be hunting down Chinese spies.”
President Trump posted on Truth Social to let the American people know exactly where he stands on the China spy balloon.
Joe Biden has surrendered America’s borders to illegal aliens, and now he has surrendered American airspace to Communist China. Biden is deliberately allowing a Chinese spy balloon to soar freely over the continental United States.
Biden is weak on China because he is controlled and owned by China. He dismantled the Trump administration’s initiative countering Chinese espionage in the United States, he canceled the ban on the Chinese intelligence weapon known as TikTok, and he is allowing China to buy up critical infrastructure all over the country, including real estate near sensitive U.S. military bases.
When President Trump is back in the White House, he will kick Chinese intelligence operations out of the country and force China to give up any U.S. holdings that put national security at risk. A strong signal must be sent that America will not allow China to trample our sovereignty and illegally surveil our country.
TRANSCRIPT
It’s rarely even mentioned that China has many thousands of SPIES working in the United States—in business, finance, academia, technology, media, and likely even government, very sad.
As President, I established a special initiative at the Department of Justice tasked with the sole mission of targeting Chinese espionage in the United States. Joe Biden TERMINATED that program right away, suggesting that it was somehow racist. According to published reports, this came shortly after 160 faculty members of the University of Pennsylvania—where I went to school, the Wharton School of Finance— home of the now-infamous Biden Center, wrote to Merrick Garland and demanded that the Chinese espionage initiative be shut down immediately.
Congress needs to dig DEEP into the financial operations of the University of Pennsylvania, its Chinese donors, the Biden Center, and the Biden family—and figure out what the hell is going on.
As President, I took the most dramatic action of any administration to curtail China’s ability to conduct espionage in the United States—and when I’m back in the White House, those efforts will be expanded in a very, very big way.
Instead of hunting down Republicans, a reformed FBI and Justice Department will be hunting down Chinese spies.
We will create new partnerships with businesses and universities to give them the tools to protect themselves from insider threats.
We will also impose whatever visa sanctions and travel restrictions are necessary to shut off Chinese access to American secrets in compliance with our demands and in compliance with our laws.
The FBI even recently admitted that China operates a secret police force on American soil, how do you like that one, imposing the iron fist of the Communist Party, the rule —think of this, the Communist Party rule on Chinese nationals in the United States. Just think about that. We will shut that down—and we will shut it down cold.
President Trump Will Build a New Missile Defense Shield
We must be able to defend our homeland, our allies, and our military assets around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles, no matter where they are launched from. Just as President Trump rebuilt our military, President Trump will build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield to defend America from missile attack.
Under Joe Biden the world has become vastly more dangerous, and there is no greater danger than the deadly menace of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.
World War Three would be a catastrophe unlike any other. The best way to ensure that such a conflict ever happens is to be prepared with unmatched technology and unrivaled strength.
President Trump will work with Congress and our great military leaders to build a state-of-the-art, next generation missile defense shield, just as Israel is now protected by the Iron Dome.
America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people.
President Trump rebuilt our military at a level that nobody thought possible, but we must take that further step.
TRANSCRIPT
Under Joe Biden, the world has become vastly more dangerous—and there is no greater danger than the deadly menace of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.
Hypersonic missiles move at many times the speed of sound, and six times faster than current missiles. Armed with nuclear weapons, they could annihilate entire cities and even countries within minutes—and we cannot let this happen.
If you take a look right now, the nuclear word is being mentioned all the time. This is a word that you’re not allowed to use. It was never used during the Trump administration, but now other countries are using that word against us because they have no respect for our leadership. World War Three would be a catastrophe unlike any other. This would make World War One and World War Two like very small battles.
The best way to ensure that such a conflict never happens is to be prepared with unmatched technology and unrivaled strength.
To this end, when I am Commander-in-Chief—which we did an awfully good job at rebuilding our military. We rebuilt the entire military—once again, I will work with Congress and our great military leaders. Not the ones you see on television, I don’t consider them leaders. We’re going to work with them to build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield. Just as Israel is now protected by the Iron Dome, a dream once thought impossible, America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people. We worked with Israel to develop that Dome. They relied on us, not just them, they relied on us.
We have technology that’s unsurpassed but our past leaders haven’t really wanted to use it. I rebuilt our military at a level that nobody thought possible, but we have to now go that further step. We must be able to defend our homeland, our allies, and our military assets around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles—no matter where they are launched from.
Our adversaries must understand that they, not the United States, will be totally destroyed if they ever dare to launch missiles against our homeland.
The Space Force, which was inaugurated under my leadership, will have a very vital role to play. It was such an important thing that we did. The Democrats fought us all the way, but we got it past, first time in 79 years, a new force.
Just as I rebuilt our military, especially our nuclear capabilities, I will build the shield to defend America from missile attack. We will have a peace through strength. And that’s what we had, and we had no wars during the Trump administration. We had no wars—remember that. Because we were strong, the other side knew it, and they didn’t want to play games, they didn’t want to mess around.
President Trump Calls for Immediate De-escalation and Peace
President Donald J. Trump released a series of video statements on the Russia-Ukraine War, calling for immediate de-escalation and peace in Ukraine.
“If I were president, the Russia-Ukraine War would never have happened,” President Trump said. “Never in a million years. But even now, if I were president, I’d be able to negotiate an end to this horrible and rapidly escalating war in 24 hours.”
“Joe Biden is doing what he said 10 months ago would cause World War III, sending American tanks into Ukraine. Such a tragic waste of human life when you look at all that’s happening there. Those cities are obliterated. First, come the nukes. Then, come the tanks.”
“When I’m president, we will be a strong country again. People will never be playing these games like they’ve been doing to the United States of America. They don’t respect us anymore. They respected us greatly two and a half years ago. They don’t respect us anymore.”
Under President Trump’s administration, the United States delivered peace through strength, at home and around the world.
The conflict in Ukraine is very dangerous, explosive, and escalating by the day.
Biden’s weakness and incompetence have brought us to the brink of nuclear war.
Joe Biden helped lead Russia into this war by saying and doing all the wrong things.
It’s far past the time for all parties involved to pursue a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine before this horrific catastrophe spirals out of control and leads to World War III.
We must end this ridiculous war and demand peace in Ukraine now before it gets worse.
President Trump’s Plan to Protect Children from Left-Wing Gender Insanity
Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth because no serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender.
1. Revoke Joe Biden’s cruel policies on so-called “gender affirming care”—a process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children.
2. Sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age.
3. Ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures.
4. Pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.
5. Declare that any hospital or healthcare provider participating in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare—and will be terminated from the program.
6. Support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.
7. Direct the Department of Justice to investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have:
Deliberately covered up horrific long-term side-effects of “sex transitions” to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients.
Illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use.
8. Direct the Department of Education to inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences, including, potential Civil Rights violations for sex discrimination, and the elimination of federal funding.
9. As part of our new credentialing body for teachers, we will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.
Ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that:
The only genders recognized by the U.S. government are male and female—and they are assigned at birth.
Title IX prohibits men from participating in women’s sports.
Protects the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a new gender identity without the parents’ consent.
TRANSCRIPT
The left-wing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse, very simple. Here is my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.
On Day One, I will revoke Joe Biden’s cruel policies on so-called “gender affirming care”—ridiculous—a process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. Can you believe this?
I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age. I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures, and pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states. It’ll go very quickly.
I will declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare—and will be terminated from the program immediately.
Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.
The Department of Justice will investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side- effects of “sex transitions” in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients. In this case, very vulnerable. We will also investigate whether Big Pharma or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use.
My Department of Education will inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences, including potential Civil Rights violations for sex discrimination, and the elimination of federal funding.
As part of our new credentialing body for teachers, we will promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.
I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female—and they are assigned at birth. The bill will also make clear that Title Nine prohibits men from participating in women’s sports. And we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender, which is new, and an identity without the parents’ consent. The identity will not be new. And it will not be without parental consent.
No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender—a concept that was never heard of in all of human history—nobody’s ever heard of this, what’s happening today. It was all when the radical left invented it just a few years ago.
President Donald J. Trump — Free Speech Policy Initiative
President Donald J. Trump announced a new policy initiative aimed to dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech.
TRANSCRIPT: President Donald J. Trump — Free Speech Policy Initiative
If we don’t have FREE SPEECH, then we just don’t have a FREE COUNTRY. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple just like dominos one by one. They’ll go down.
That’s why today, I am announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime, and to reclaim the right to Free Speech for all Americans. And reclaim is a very important word in this case because they’ve taken it away.
In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of Deep State bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American People. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything from elections to public health.
The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed — and it must happen immediately. And here is my plan:
FIRST, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as “mis-” or “dis-information”. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship—directly or indirectly—whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.
SECOND, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These include possible violations of federal civil rights law, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, and anti-trust laws, the Hatch Act and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory, and constitutional offenses. To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters — and we have to do this right now — to the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship.
THIRD, upon my inauguration as president, I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk revising Section 230 to get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to INCREASE their efforts to take down UNLAWFUL content, such as child exploitation and promoting terrorism, while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech.
FOURTH, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called “mis-” and “dis-information.” The federal government should immediately stop funding all non-profits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project. If any U.S. university is discovered to have engaged in censorship activities or election interferences in the past—such as flagging social media content for removal [and] blacklisting—those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years, and maybe more. We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end-run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights. In other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose those elections and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country. Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former Deep Staters and intelligence officials, there should be a 7-year cooling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S. user data.
FIFTH, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital Bill of Rights. This should include a right to digital due process—in other words, government officials should need a COURT ORDER to take down online content, not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter.
Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt-out of content moderation and curation entirely, and receive an unmanipulated stream of information if they so choose.
The fight for Free Speech is a matter of victory or death for America—and for the survival of Western Civilization itself. When I am President, this whole rotten system of censorship and information control will be ripped out of the system at large. There won’t be anything left.
By restoring free speech, we will begin to reclaim our democracy, and save our nation.
