IMO NOBODY knows what Trump will do, not even himself lol. If he has proven anything it's that he may do just about anything no matter what he says and already has done. That was always my biggest concern with Trump, nobody knows what he will really do.
The specifics of what he'll do may be unknown to everyone including him, but IMO his general priorities are well known enough:
- Keep jobs from going to other countries and bring some jobs back
- Improve border security, get criminal illegal immigrants out, and reduce overall risk associated with terrorism
- Reduce federal taxes for most people (but close some loopholes)
- Invest heavily in infrastructure
- Reduce regulation
- Try additional measures to increase economic growth
- Reduce the influence of lobbyists and other insiders (drain the swamp)
I like the fact that he's not prematurely committing himself to specifics, and is willing to change his mind as he looks into things and learns. The fact that he's a pragmatic businessman rather than a career politician has its advantages, IMO.
“My aim is not to be consistent with my previous statements on a given question, but to be consistent with truth as it may present itself to me at a given moment. The result has been that I have grown from truth to truth.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
