Trump's re-election campaign has focused on the economy, jobs, immigration, and foreign
policy. Trump described his platform, which he named America First, during his inaugural address: "Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs."
President Trump's political platform in a nutshell:
Immigration: Reduce illegal immigration and reform legal immigration system. Launching of the office of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE).
Economy: Lower individual and corporate taxes, cut regulations, promote federal aid to small bussiness and to those who manufacture products in substitution of imported ones.
Trade: Crack down on trade cheaters and promote fairer and equal trade for America.
Health care: Undo Obamacare, cut drug prices, reform Medicaid. Approve a Six-year extension of CHIP to fund healthcare for 9 million. Address drug addiction and opioid abuse by declaring the opioid crisis a nationwide public health emergency.
Education: Budgets to make school choice a priority. Implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to empower states with the flexibility they need to educate their students. Implementation of the year-round distribution of Pell grants, instead of limiting these grants to the spring and fall semesters.
Criminal Justice: Over $98 million to be assigned in grant funding through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services COPS Hiring Program to allow 802 additional full-time law enforcement officers. Project Safe Neighborhoods to encourage U.S. Attorney’s to work with communities to develop customized crime reduction strategies.
Foreign policy: Restore America’s prominence in global diplomacy. Combat extremism and stick up in defense of religious minorities.
Gun regulation: Donald Trump's campaign website says, "The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Gun and magazine bans are a total failure. The right of self-defense doesn’t stop at the end of your driveway."
