The choices we make at the polls reflect the values and priorities we hold as a collective society. We are actively deciding the direction in which we want to guide our country, whether for improvement or potential challenge. As for that, what is Trump’s plan as president for his second term? Before his presidential win, Trump was a well-known real estate developer and businessman, taking over the Trump Organization from his father and expanding it to include luxury hotels, golf courses, and other high-profile properties, as well as gaining fame from a reality TV show and author.
With 312 electoral votes for President Trump to win the presidential election. With the Harris Campaign only getting 226 votes in the electoral college. Vote for the people you want, as the next election will be here again soon. Janell Allenn stated, “I believe that it’s my civil duty to vote since women worked hard to get women the right to vote.” As Kyler Bingham emphasized, “It is most important for people to go out and vote.” With that all said, election day will soon come around again.
What is his plan? He has outlined his vision in a plan called Agenda 47. This plan includes a range of policy goals focusing on immigration, the economy, national defense, and government reform. Some key initiatives he has proposed include enforcing strict immigration policies, which would involve a large-scale deportation effort and ending welfare eligibility for undocumented immigrants. Trump has also suggested designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and intensifying law enforcement actions against gang violence and drug trafficking, according to his official platform.
On the economic front, Trump aims to boost American manufacturing, make the U.S.
energy-independent and reduce reliance on foreign goods by imposing tariffs. His plan also proposes significant tax cuts, especially for the middle class, and includes a phase-out of federal tax on Social Security income. Another notable economic goal is to implement a national tariff on goods from China and other nations to encourage domestic production, with the aim of transforming the U.S. into a “manufacturing superpower.”
Trump’s platform also emphasizes “freedom cities” on federal lands to promote housing development, the expanded use of the National Guard to address crime, and reforms in the education sector to eliminate programs he views as overly politicized. Additionally, he advocates for election security measures, like voter identification and paper ballots, and promises to protect Social Security and Medicare without altering the retirement age.
Here are a few more important policies stated by PolitiFact. Trump’s promise to establish “male and female” as the only genders recognized by the U.S. government mirrors several state laws introduced and passed in 2024. Such laws seek to define “gender” narrowly as binary, solely based on biological characteristics and assigned at birth. Laws redefining sex and gender can affect access to accurate identity documents and lead to discrimination, according to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Most identity documents such as licenses and birth certificates are issued by states, but currently, on federal documents like passports, U.S. citizens can select male, female, or “X” as their gender marker.
He also wants to eliminate taxation on tips, which would end taxation on the tipped portions of workers’ incomes. An analysis by Ernie Tedeschi at the Yale Budget Lab found that 2.5% of workers are in jobs gratuity-based income, including 5% of workers in the bottom quarter of earners. Economist are predicting a more stable economy within which would enter for the better pricing of good and the lowering of interest rates as well as lowing the price of energy.
