Does anyone have any actual policy plans Trump wants to put into place to make America 'great' again?

Beyond building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, and beyond banning Muslims from the country, what are his goals?

Someone on facebook liked a thing that says President Trump's tax policy will give me $600 extra per month and if I invest that money in your average mutual fund, I'll have $2 million dollars in 30 years.

So... there's something about tax policy out there, I guess?

He was asking them to give him credit for predicting that Brexit would happen despite the polls saying that there wasn't a chance of it going through. This was after he was talking about media bias and polls being wrong in general so it's basically a way for him to tell his followed not to worry about what the polls are saying about the current election. All things considered, reinforcing the message of '"polls don't matter" while in his position seems fairly reasonable.

I'd say a more crazy thing would be him saying he spends "100's of millions" on the disabled...by bothering to have ramps built into his buildings? Isn't that pretty much true for most public buildings?

I feel like he's also spent more of this speech attacking Obama than even mentioning Hillary. I wonder if that's because of Obama's statement the other day and if that's the case it would mean that Hillary is free to let Obama make the most aggressive remarks because it doesn't matter much if Trump spends all his time attacking Obama over his actual opponent.

This is exactly why you don't actually have to worry about Trump dropping out due to GOP pressure. Even if they somehow manage to exert enough presser to get him to drop out, just before he makes it official Obama or Hillary would just call him a little crybaby loser for dropping out and he'd be forced to continue on. He's just so easily trolled that there's no way for the GOP to talk him down while Trollbama draws breath.

To him merely complying with the law and spending some money on basic handicap access is a huge humanitarian undertaking.

The way to understand Trump is to think like an incredibly cheap rear end in a top hat.

And is it bad that I'm worried he might not even last until the debates? I wanted to see what would happen if he really did blow his top during the debate.

I had to whip out my financial calculator to do the math, but based on a FV=2M, PV=0, PMT=600, N=360, the annual interest rate on that is 11.8 percent or .9822% per month. Good loving luck getting that.

Trump and Hillary seem to be adopting opposite strategies on the campaign trail. Trump dominates and subordinates everyone around him and pushes his face front and center at every big media event, responding to every criticism and fielding every question. Hillary on the other hand is just the central node in a wide network of other politicians who keep stumping for her and sniping at her opponents while she maintains the "likable, slightly daffy granny" image at smaller gatherings and keeps pushing wonkish policy speeches when necessary.

So far I'd say Hillary's got the better idea.

Hillary did do 9/11, in a way.

If she had satisfied her husband he wouldn't have gone elsewhere, wouldn't have had the whole Lewinsky scandal, and then when he was trying to kill Osama Bin Laden he wouldn't have been accused of wagging the dog and had opposition force him to stop his quest. And Al Gore would have used him and been elected and paid attention to security memos and 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

So really, the entire Bush administration and right wing rise is all Hillary Clinton's fault because she can't sexually satisfy a man. - DJT

His kids would campaign on his behalf and play the victim card for him. They'd accuse the mainstream media of a targeted gangstalking operation.
