Trump is a great man; believe me when I say he is. Imagine where he started from and where he is today. Did you seriously think he will end up being the republican nominee?
Most politicians that run for the Oval office have probably started their political career a while back, climbing the ladder of politics slowly until they reach the peak. Trump however made his mark in business and he made his mark well. I mean he is worth over $8Billion, if that aint successful I wonder what is.
As a politician Trump has been successful so far, he has done great; for a man that is so outspoken, bizarre and has never ran for any political office before he has done well for himself.
We are all enthusiastic about what will happen come November 8. Here’s the catch. What do you think a Trump victory will mean for American economy?
I may be a big fan of Trump’s strides so far, but in all sincerity I think that is far enough, if the American Economy wants to survive. Trump has so many weird ideas of making America great and reviving the economy that when you look at them you wonder where the man is getting his ideas from.
Donald Trump wants to:
Increase tariffs on foreign imports to 35%
How will increasing foreign import tax up to 35% benefit Americans? With this in place America stands the risk of losing 30% of its computers and office machines, 55% of its oil, 32% of its cars, 33% of its industrial supplies, also furniture, clothes, toys and medicine.
Other countries will not take this lightly either and Americans will be hit by reprisals tariffs on all it imports. Companies like Google, Mars, Mcdonald, and Apple will have it hard.
This definitely does not reflect well on the economy.
Send all illegal Migrant home
He wants to end the Birthright citizenship, which is a process that allows children of illegal migrants to become citizens. At the same time he want wants countries like Mexico that has benefited from illegal migration to pay for border walls.
How will this affect the Economy?
Trump plans to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. This would shrink America’s economy by about 2 percent. If this plan to round up 11 million migrants succeeds, the agricultural sector will suffer the most as there will be nobody left to harvest vegetables and fresh fruits. Also the sudden subtraction will cause an immediate shock to many businesses, which will trigger a GDP collapse.
Analyst estimates that it will cost $600Billion and will take 20 years to complete. However Trump says he can do it in 18 months.
It also important to bear in mind that America has a population of 318 million people, while 99.1% of 318 million people are migrants. Going by statistics and American history 315 of its population are migrants who were either, kidnapped or bought from Africa, foreign migrants, felons and majority as a result of birth which granted them automatic citizenship. This means that if the law of citizenship by birth were not in place even Donald Trump himself would not be able to run for office because his father Fred migrated from Germany in 1885 and his mother Mary migrated from Scotland in 1930.
Give guns to all Americans- Trump’s website states that: "The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own."
Gun inclusive America
Apart from what his website states, Trump has always been an advocate for a gun inclusive America.
Trump told Howie Carrie that: It’s too bad that some of the young people that were killed over the weekend didn’t have guns attached to their [hip], frankly, where bullets could have flown in the opposite direction,”
Trump says another way of fighting crime is - by empowering "law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves."
You have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. You have that right and they want to take it away,” Trump said. “And they are taking it away, slowly but surely, they are taking it away.”
"Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like 'assault weapons', 'military-style weapons' and 'high capacity magazines' to confuse people," Trump wrote Friday. "What they’re really talking about are popular semi-automatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned by tens of millions of Americans.
All these comments over the years point to Trumps exact stance on the current gun laws.
His opinion is that guns permits which are issued by the state should be like the driver license. He said;
"If we can do that for driving -- which is a privilege, not a right -- then surely we can do that for concealed carry, which is a right, not a privilege,"
By this Trump is planning to repel Obama gun laws because he wants law-abiding citizen to be able to carry any sort of guns they like.
Trump wants to initiate this in a country that recorded 372 cases of mass shooting in the previous year.
If he succeeds, he definitely wants to kill all Americans, because when everybody is allowed to own a gun and not just small hand guns, but any sort of guns they like. That is street war, definitely bad for the economy.
Repeal Obamacare
Trump released a health care reform plan titled “Health Care reform to Make American Great Again”. This will actively replace the Obamacare which gives cheap healthcare to the poor working class. Analysts estimate that his new policy will cost America about $550 billion over ten years under conventional scoring and about $330 billion with dynamic scoring. Additionally it will result to 21 million people losing their health coverage, because the new plan covers only 5% of the 22 million people who would lose coverage if the Obamacare is repelled.
Following Trumps policies and his own demeanor, he has made so many enemies than friends, and even his own party members are ready to vote for the opposition. If he continues like this I wonder how he will be able to get any laws through congress. The house will impeach him the first chance it gets. This definitely does not reflect well for the American economy.
