what Donald Trump wants to do in his first 100 days

1) Corruption and Lobbying in Washington

Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington DC on the first day of his term

A) Propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress

B) Hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health)

C) A requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated

D) 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service

E) A lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government

F) A complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

2) American Workers Protection

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

A) First, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

B) Second, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

C) Third, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

D) Fourth, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately

E) Fith, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

F) Sixth, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

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

3) Security and the constitutional rule of law

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

A) First, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

B) Second, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

C) Third, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

D) Fourth, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back

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

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

This is my pledge to you.

And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.

4) Broader legislative measures

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

A) Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.

B) End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.

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

D) School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.

E) Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.

F) Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.

G) End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.

H) Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

I) Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values

J) Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

Pretty much agree with all the proposals....That's why he won....

However , one issue not mentioned...Does anyone know what Trump said he will do with the United Nations membership of the USA. when he takes over in 2017.

At one time many conservatives were for us to get out of the corrupt globalist organization , and soon.....Times have changed and the UN is now only a muslim dominated crap fest and nothing will change it for the better.

USA pays like 2/3 of the yearly operating budget and we get shat on all the time....Of course ovomit and the hillsheet dems are FOR the UN, so that means the Trump populist party must be against it....Let's hope so.

Most say it should go back to somewhere in Europe and we could save hundreds of millions to then spend on "America first"

No more the USA taking it up the a.s.s. from the muslim dictators of the UN.

Mixed bag here. Good policy to have more energy infrastructure projects such as Keystone extension. Bad policy to build wall with Mexico refusing to pay for it. Some proposals are nothing new and just continuation of old policies that existed for years such as priority in deporting criminal illegals. Some proposals are both democrat and republican promises such as tougher negotiations on trade agreements.

the corruption and lobbying part of the plan is getting off to a predictably slow start.

I call this a diversionary tactic.

Did Trump say this or not? Was this something made up from those evil boogie man liberal media hacks or is it legit?

That is the only question here that seems to be up for discussion.

Good point

expect plenty of diversionary tactics since Trump's supporters arguments sorely lack substance

Well congrats to the guy that he won...now we are actually going to expect him to do what he said he would.

The same way that some of the anti-Obama cut and pasters attacked him for this concept, it is a reasonable expectation that public statements and claims he made would be fulfilled.

Its easy to say this and that, anyone can do it on either side, and it is easy for the counter side to complain about how the other group doesnt do this or that...but when your group wins its time to face the same scrutiny that you GAVE to the opposition when they were in charge.

That list you put up there is fair game as far as I am concerned, and if those Trump voters really chose him for that platform then THEY should demand this as well.

President Obama imposed sanctions on a number of Russian individuals and businesses following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and military involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine.

Because the sanctions were imposed by executive order, Mr Trump could theoretically reverse them without consulting Congress.

Steven Swinford, deputy political editor Ben Riley-Smith, assistant political editor , Telegraph UK

12 NOVEMBER 2016 • 10:00PM

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/12/trump-putin-alliance-sparks-diplomatic-crisis/

Britain is facing a diplomatic crisis with the US over Donald Trump’s plans to forge an alliance with Vladimir Putin and bolster the Syrian regime.

In a significant foreign policy split, officials admitted that Britain will have some “very difficult” conversations with the President-elect in coming months over his approach to Russia.

It comes after Mr Trump used his first interviews since winning the US election to indicate that he will withdraw support for rebels in Syria and thank Vladimir Putin for sending him a “beautiful” letter.

Mr Trump said that he will instead join forces with Russia and focus on defeating Isil. He has previously said it would be “nice” if the US and Russia could work together to “knock the hell out of Isil”.

His views are in stark contrast with those of Theresa May, who has accused President Assad’s regime of perpetrating “atrocious violence” and said that the long-term future of Syria must be “without Assad”.

Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, has accused Russia of perpetrating war crimes over the deaths of hundreds of civilians.

The dramatic shift in US policy has prompted significant concern in the Foreign Office, and Britain will use the next three months before Mr Trump enters the White House to try to convince him of the importance of removing President Assad.

Mr Johnson is expected to fly to the US within weeks to meet with senior figures in Mr Trump’s administration and make clear that Britain believes that Mr Assad must go.

The diplomatic tensions emerged as a flotilla of Russian warships which passed through the English Channel has now arrived off the coast of Syria ahead of a major offensive against Isil.

Trump just adds to the corruption and he won't accomplish most of what he's talked about. Anyone with common sense knows that. Yes, he's also racist, as evinced by the fact that he went from 1% in the polls and then shot up to over 20 to 30% or so in polls after maing comments about Mexicans. It's pretty obvious that Mexicans are a blight on American society and without them this country is going to automatically become great. I sure can't wait to see the incredible transformation! Ha!

Fortunately, I can survive as a white male under Trump's presidency because it will be disasterous and his attempt to erode the freedom of press in the 1st Amendment will be closely detailed to prevent his abuse of U.S. freedoms. I know he doesn't give a damn about the Constitution and neither do most of the Americans who voted for him but I do!
