Trump’s Agenda Before January 20: What He Accomplished, and How He Failed
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
In October of 2024, Trump knew he would be given a victory
on November 5th. In 2016 he was honestly surprised that he had
become our nation’s 45th and first illegitimate president. He knew
that Putin was behind the scenes, doing everything possible to guarantee a win
for fascism, however, he did not know what Putin knew: he couldn’t lose. In
2024, he was aware of the truth: the fix was in. He would win all seven swing
states and the popular vote. This all seemed impossible. His hate rallies were
sparsely attended, and the results of the 2020 election revealed the fact that
most Americans despised the worst illegitimate president in history.
The second time around, Trump was prepared: not to lead our
country, but to accomplish Putin’s goals for America’s future. He possesses a
922-page guide, which listed plans to destroy our democratic nation. It is
called “Project 2025.”
The following presents a small section of his agenda,
written weeks before the election.
·
Mass deportation of 11 million undocumented
immigrants
·
Closing the southern border and ending
birthright citizenship
·
Unprecedented tariffs on foreign goods from all
countries, but especially China
·
Expansive tax cuts to benefit corporations,
tipped workers, seniors on Social Security, property owners in the Northeast
and many others
·
Trillions in cuts in government spending with
help from Elon Musk
·
Reforming the country’s health and food systems
with help from vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
·
Reversing regulations aimed at addressing
climate change
·
Building a new missile defense shield with help
from former NFL player Herschel Walker
·
And so much more
Let’s look at what Trump has accomplished and where he
failed.
Mass deportation has begun. His personal Gestapo, calling
itself ICE, continues to kidnap and incarcerate anyone who is not pure white,
and place them in concentration camps. The term is “ethnic cleansing.” He
continues to violate the Constitutional rights of thousands of men and women,
denying them due process, guaranteed by the 5th Amendment.
Trump has not closed our southern border, and the courts
have temporarily halted his plan to once again violate the Constitution and
remove birthright citizenship.
So far, he has placed tariffs on every nation in the world,
including our closest allies. He destroyed free trade which benefited all
nations for the last 40+ years. Once again, some judges are preventing Trump’s
implementation of most of his most egregious tariffs, but it appears that the
Supreme Court will make the final decision. Trump owns six of the nine
justices.
If they become a reality, the economy of the United States
will plummet, along with those of most democratic nations.
Trump succeeded in securing tax cuts for the super-rich,
twice. Respected economists predict this is the primary reason why Trump will
increase the national debt by eight to ten trillion dollars. Between 2017 and
2021, his policies and failure to lead in the fight against Covid-19, added
more than eight trillion dollars to the deficit.
We all know what happened when Trump employed the world’s wealthiest
individual, who had no experience in anything other than engineering, to reduce
the deficit by at least two trillion dollars. It was a disaster, and ended
their bromance. The words are “massive failure.”
Choosing Robert Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human
Services Department has become more than a serious mistake: it is a tragedy.
Kennedy is reversing the successes of real scientist and medical profession
over the last 75 years, and placing American lives in great danger. Trump
continues to approve his destructive plans, which will remove healthcare from
at least 25 million Americans.
Over the past 20 years, our nation’s leaders increased
America’s efforts to slow or end the greatest danger to world peace: climate
change. However, Trump is moving the United States backwards. His purpose? To
allow his 902 oligarchs to increase their profits by allowing them to pollute
our air, water, and land.
We all learned that Herschel Walker’s nomination was a bad
joke. No one laughed. It was difficult, but Trump actually found an individual
who is dumber than he is.
As for the missile defense program, he has forgotten about
it. He is too busy taking revenge on anyone who opposes his fascist agenda.
Let’s do the math. Trump has succeeded on only two of his
goals: incarcerating and deporting thousands of innocent men, women, and
children whose only crime is seeking a better life. He continues to waste
billions of dollars pretending to be a billionaire, and constructing
unnecessary and foolhardy fantasies like his “ballroom.” Meanwhile, he
continues to allow his ridiculously wealthy oligarchs to avoid paying their
fair share of taxes.
Trump has achieved my expectations. He continues to be the
greatest failure in the world, and the greatest enemy to America’s future.
