Trump Campaign Promises 2025

[Moksha]

I doubt that either de facto President Musk or his puppet, Trump, really care in the slightest how many or how badly lower income or impoverished Americans will be hurt by their policies, now that they have won the election, as long as they can achieve their desired further enrichment of themselves and the wealthiest of the wealthy to the detriment of nearly everyone else. I fear we are in for 4 years of the most bigoted, cruelest and most unmitigatedly corrupt administration in American history.

Lyndon Johnson started the war on poverty, and Trump and Musk want to complete the war on the poor. Get back to a British class system with very obedient servants and grateful serfs working the fields of the plantations, while optometrists sip their non-alcoholic julips on the veranda.

Trump wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Trump can make official any old crap that comes into his mind. Wish Rand McNally could tell him that his stupid ideas are not all that easy. I guess he figures now that he is a dictator for life he can do stuff like that.

It also seems to me that Trump and Musk do indeed want to halt the war on poverty that Lyndon Johnson started and want to, instead, resume waging war on the poor and minorities. Yet they claim to be Christian! There can hardly be anything more antithetical to Christian ideals than what they are planning to do.

Kind of creating a mini-war between those who prioritize loyalty to Trump, and those who prioritize white nationalism.

There is another level of culture war here: If Democrats want to help poor people then we like rich people.

Reminded me of this old sketch, which is almost sad in how hilariously on point it was.

That makes a very effective point. If Trump told the Republican Congress to oppose immigration reform to make a political point, they would go along with it.

Yes, there had been a number of cases during Obama's administration when Republicans reversed their position on legislation that they themselves originated only because they found that Obama also favored it and couldn't bear the thought of being seen as on the same side as Obama even on issues they originally favored. Or, perhaps more likely, they just couldn't stand the idea of Republicans being able to claim even partial credit on anything commendable or worthwhile.

They've forgotten that they're supposed to be on OUR side.

Steve Shives shows what we all get to look forward to the next 4 years (at least) as a result of Trump's election--including those who foolishly voted for him.

Reading some of the threads here. We need this list and the attached link. There's MORE information at the link so don't ignore that. If you want to talk about it, fine. There's really nothing to talk about. It's simply a list.

Keep this. Study this. Refer to it. There'll be a test.

At the end of the term.

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition is in the final stretch, with less than a month to go before he is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. CNN has been tracking the promises he made for a second term throughout the year on the campaign trail.

In recent months, Trump and his team have specifically mentioned the policies that he would enact on
Day One — Inauguration Day is January 20, 2025 — of his presidency. They include:


Close the US-Mexico border

Begin what Trump says will be “the largest deportation program in American history”

Expedite permits for drilling and fracking

Roll back environmental regulations

Pardon people convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol

Sign an executive order that would cut federal funding for any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children.”

Roll back President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle policies

Enact tariffs on goods coming in from Mexico, Canada and China

So has he done any of this stuff? I'm not paying attention. He tick off all the boxes or not?
