A few Trump promises when elected.
‘Build a wall’ — and make Mexico pay for it
Trump announced his candidacy with the promise “to build a great, great wall on our southern border” and “have Mexico pay for that wall,” and has repeated the call with conviction and consistency. But even his supporters have expressed skepticism that this centerpiece promise will see the light of day. An actual wall will be extremely costly, and it remains to be seen how Trump would force Mexico to pay for it.
“There are some that hear this is going to be 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso, 30-foot high, and listen, I know you can’t do that,” former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said recently. (Perry once denounced Trump but has since endorsed him.)
Temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States
Following the December 2015 shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”
The next day, Trump admitted that details “would have to worked out” and said it wouldn’t apply to all Muslims, but remained vague on the timeline or the exemptions. Scholars were divided on whether banning people of an entire faith would violate the constitution.
In early May, Trump told the New York Times the ban would be in place by the end of his first 100 days in office. But on Fox News Radio a few days later, he said that it was “just a suggestion.” A month later, herecommitted to the ban, tweaking it to now encompass immigrants from “nations tied to Islamic terror.”
‘Bring manufacturing (jobs) back’
“I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (and) I’m going tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal for our workers,” he said. “I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs.”
But most experts say that Trump wouldn’t be able to bring back all 4 million lost manufacturing jobs, which have been declining since the 1940s, well before the modern era of free trade deals and China’s economic rise.
“The short answer is that a small number of manufacturing jobs could be brought back, but probably at enormous cost,” Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economist who specializes in employment and trade and member of President Bill Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors.
Susan Houseman, an economist with the W.E. Upjohn Institute, commended some of Trump’s proposals but said the issue is way more complex than Trump describes.
Larry Moser, president of the Reshoring Initiative, is more optimistic that Trump could deliver, but said Trump would have to be in it for the long haul: “You can’t do it in a day, you can’t do it a year. I’d be delighted if we can do it in a decade or two.”
Impose tariffs on goods made in China and Mexico
Warren Maruyama, a former general counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, told us President Trump would have the authority under a variety of trade statutes to impose higher tariffs. Hal Shapiro, an attorney specializing in international trade practice, pointed to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 which gives the president the power to impose retaliatory tariffs on countries that violate trade agreements or engage in unfair trade practices under.
Renegotiate or withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement and Trans-Pacific Partnership
Trump has been most critical of NAFTA and TPP, pinning them to Clinton and past and future job losses. President Trump would have the authority to bow out of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Trans Pacific Partnership. But such a move may not increase American manufacturing jobs; an expert told us that leverage works in both directions. “Countries like Mexico and Canada would have a list of things they’d want from the United States,” Alan Wolff, a former U.S. deputy trade representative under President Jimmy Carter. “These are balanced, hard-to-negotiate agreements.”
‘Full repeal of Obamacare’ and replace it with a market-based alternative
“If a Trump win is accompanied by Republican control of both houses of Congress, then some significant rollback is feasible and likely,” said John McDonough, a health policy professor at Harvard University.
Renegotiate the Iran deal
Similarly, Trump has a shot at delivering on his promise to “renegotiate with Iran” even though Iran has said it won’t revisit the issue. Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the nonpartisan Foundation for Defense of Democracies, sees Iran’s attitude as posturing and pointed out that there’s precedent for a follow-up talk.
“The Iranians are continuing to negotiate, demanding significant economic concessions Trump could renegotiate a better deal.”
Leave Social Security as is
Beyond calling for a crackdown on fraud and waste, Trump hasn’t specified how exactly he would save the program. He claims that his economic proposals would preserve Social Security by “making the country rich again,” though that’s not supported by multiple analyses.
Trump’s commitment to this promise may also be wavering. His policy advisor Sam Clovis told Reuters in May that Trump would be open to changes to Social Security if elected.
Trump’s plan would bloat the federal deficit by at least $10 trillion over the next decade, even if you factor in economic growth. This makes his promise of protecting Social Security harder to keep, given the program is one of the biggest line items in the budget.

TRUMP UP THE VOLUME… TRUMP UP THE VOLUME… TRUMP UP THE VOLUME… YEA… YEA…
So, You dont support Trump Lady. The path this country is going down is self destructive. Trump is Americas only hope to battle Immigration and Globalism. He’s not Perfect and is the lesser of the 2 evils.
Barbara, Do You know the last 4 letters in American? Its I CAN. But We wont if we dont get a President that at least gives us a chance at tackling Americas real problems and BTW Barb, I did not see your alternative to Trump.
So I guess what I am trying to say is…….
“Get Over It Lady Unless YOU can Offer Us Something Better than Trump and it Sure isnt Hillary”
Have a Nice day!
BTW~ Barbara, Everything “They” said Trump couldnt do since he announced his run for Presidency. He not only accomplished, He smashed every record in Politics while doing it. Your Whining about Trump is a real turn off since you havent even and wont give him a chance. Write stories about cooking or gardening Ok.
I bet the only beef you really have with Trump is “He said mean things” oh boo hoo!
