The Official TRUMP Administration Thread.

LOL

Talk about setting the bar low.

Where was the outrage then?

You're right. I have little appetite for fucking with people like this.

I am hoping he figures out that he can win the Hispanic vote if they win, too.

 

I think it is likely.

Pro growth and all that.

It's not like we have a limited amount of intellectual property or money. If the people get jobs and pay taxes, they're pulling their own weight. It's up to everyone else to do likewise.

 

I'm curious, what is Trump's plan for addressing that problem?

Commie pinkos are the backbone, the heart and soul of this nation.

You know that giant fireworks factory in Mexico that just blew up? Trump is going to bring those jobs home!

I have a message for all the doubters in Washington: America’s future belongs to the dreamers, not the cynics.

And it’s time to extend that dream to every African-American citizen in this country.

African-American citizens have sacrificed so much for this nation. They have fought and died in every war since the Revolution, and from the pews and the picket lines they have lifted up the conscience of our country in the long march for Civil Rights.

Yet, too many African-Americans have been left behind.

45% of African-American children under the age of 6 live in poverty.

58% of African-American youth are not currently employed.

African-Americans compromise roughly 13 percent of the population, yet make-up 60% of murder victims under the age of 22.

In 2015, violent crime in Charlotte increased by 18 percent – and it’s expected to rise 24% in 2016.

In the city of Chicago, nearly 3,500 people have been shot since January of this year.

The conditions in our inner cities today are unacceptable.

The Democrats have run our inner cities for fifty, sixty, seventy years or more. They’ve run the school boards, the city councils, the mayor’s offices, and the congressional seats. Their policies have failed, and they’ve failed miserably.

They’ve trapped children in failing government schools, and opposed school choice at every turn.

The Clintons gave us NAFTA and China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, two deals that de-industrialized America, uprooted our industry, and stripped bare towns like Detroit and Baltimore and the inner cities of North Carolina. This state has lost nearly half of its manufacturing jobs since Bill and Hillary’s NAFTA, decimating the African-American middle class.

Democratic policies have also given rise to crippling crime and violence.

Then there is the issue of taxation and regulation. Massive taxes, massive regulation of small business, and radical restrictions on American energy, have driven jobs and opportunities out of our inner cities. Hillary wants to raise taxes on successful small businesses as high as 45 percent – which will only drive more jobs out of your community, and into other countries.

One of the greatest betrayals has been the issue of immigration. Illegal immigration violates the civil rights of African-Americans. No group has been more economically-harmed by decades of illegal immigration than low-income African-American workers. Hillary’s pledge to enact “open borders,” – made in secret to a foreign bank – would destroy the African-American middle class.



HERE'S THE PLAN

At the center of my revitalization plan is the issue of trade. Massive, chronic trade deficits have emptied out our jobs. Just look at what has happened to Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and right here in North Carolina. It’s the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world.

If I’m President, and the executives at Ford Motor Company announce they are moving their plants and jobs to Mexico, I will pick up the phone and make a simple call. I will tell those executives that if they move their factories to Mexico, I will put a 35% tax on their product before they ship it back into the United States. We won’t let your jobs be stolen from you anymore. When we stop the offshoring to low-wage countries, we raise wages at home – meaning rent and bills become instantly more affordable.

At the same time, my plan to lower the business tax from 35 percent to 15 percent will bring thousands of new companies onto our shores. It also includes a massive middle class tax cut, tax-free childcare savings accounts, and childcare tax deductions and credits.

I will also propose tax holidays for inner-city investment, and new tax incentives to get foreign companies to relocate in blighted American neighborhoods. I will further empower cities and states to seek a federal disaster designation for blighted communities in order to initiate the rebuilding of vital infrastructure, the demolition of abandoned properties, and the increased presence of law enforcement.

I will also pursue financial reforms to make it easier for young African-Americans to get credit to pursue their dreams in business and create jobs in their communities. Dodd-Frank has been a disaster, making it harder for small businesses to get the credit they need. The policies of the Clintons brought us the financial recession – through lifting Glass-Steagall, pushing subprime lending, and blocking reforms to Fannie and Freddie. It’s time for a 21st century Glass Steagall and, as part of that, a priority on helping African-American businesses get the credit they need.

We will also encourage small-business creation by allowing social welfare workers to convert poverty assistance into repayable but forgive-able micro-loans.

Then there is the issue of public safety. Making our communities safe again will be a priority for the Trump Administration.

I have heard and have listened to the concerns raised by African-American citizens about our justice system, and I promise that under a Trump Administration the law will be applied fairly, equally and without prejudice. There will be only one set of rules – not a two-tiered system of justice. The best evidence of unequal justice is that Hillary Clinton could violate so many laws, bleach and delete 33,000 emails after a Congressional subpoena, lie to Congress and the FBI – put our national security at grave risk – and not even face so much as a fine.

Equal justice also means the same rules for Wall Street. The Obama Administration never held Wall Street accountable.

We will also police our streets. I want every poor African-American child to be able to walk down the street in peace. Safety is a civil right. The problem is not the presence of police but the absence of police. I will invest in training and funding both local and federal law enforcement operations to remove the gang members, drug dealers, and criminal cartels from our neighborhoods. The reduction of crime is not merely a goal – but a necessity. We will get it done. The war on police urged on by my rival is reckless, and dangerous, and puts African-American lives at risk. We must work with our police, not against them.

On immigration, my policy is simple. I will restore the civil rights of African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and all Americans, by ending illegal immigration. I will reform visa rules to give American workers preference for jobs, and I will suspend reckless refugee admissions from terror-prone regions that cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. A portion of the money saved by enforcing our laws, and suspending refugees, will be re-invested in our inner cities. It is time to help the American citizens who have become refugees in their own country.

Infrastructure will be another major goal. My contract calls for $1 trillion dollars in infrastructure investment, of which the inner cities will be a major beneficiary.

I will also cancel all wasteful climate change spending from Obama-Clinton, including all global warming payments to the United Nations. These steps will save $100 billion over 8 years, and this money will be used to help rebuild the vital infrastructure, including water systems, in America’s inner cities.

School choice is at the center of my plan. My proposal redirects education spending to allow every disadvantaged child in America to attend the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. School choice is the great civil rights issue of our time, and I will be the nation’s biggest cheerleader for school choice in all 50 states. I will also appoint a commission to investigate the school to prison pipeline and to shut it down and create a new pathway that leads from a great education to a great job. My plan will also ensure funding for Historical Black Colleges and Universities, more affordable 2 and 4-year college, and support for trade and vocational education.

 

Thanks Denny. That was actually a helpful post. I had not seen that before, and it answers my question.

Trump's plan is mostly goofy nonsense, but thanks for posting it.

Yeah, nothing good about improving education, investment, and ability to form capital and businesses.

Let 'em eat cake.

 

Improving education is good, but since he chose DeVos, who has already proven a failure at education reform, as Sec. Ed., I don't think he means it.

Converting poverty assistance to business loans is pretty silly. Now, instead of feeding your kids, you can start a small business!

Tax breaks for businesses locating in the inner city is a fine idea, and was implemented long ago. Nothing new there.

More cops? I guess if the inner city youth are hired as cops, that would add some jobs.

Tear down the inner cities - yes, that's one way to get rid of the problem. What do you do with the people, though?

But there are some things he could do here that would improve the situation, and who knows, maybe he will. It's hard to know at this point what, if anything, he's serious about.
