Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign outlines a mix of economic, immigration, and social policy goals, reflecting a continuation of several themes from his previous presidency.
1.Economy and Trade: Trump has proposed high tariffs, including a general 10–20% tariff on non-U.S. goods and a 60% tariff on Chinese imports, along with a plan to phase out Chinese imports over four years. He also pledges tax cuts across different income levels and aims to remove taxes on Social Security payments for seniors .
2.Immigration: His immigration agenda includes blocking access to welfare for undocumented immigrants, deporting gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, and creating a compensation fund for victims of crimes committed by immigrants. Trump also plans to reinstate policies that restrict public benefits to undocumented individuals .
3.Social and Domestic Policies: In education, Trump aims to increase school choice, encourage homeschooling, and prevent vaccine mandates. On social issues, he has proposed measures that restrict gender-affirming healthcare for minors and restrict transgender individuals’ participation in women’s sports. Trump also intends to address homelessness by setting up “tent cities” and banning urban camping .
4.Foreign Policy and National Security: He wants to label Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and create stricter oversight on foreign investments, particularly targeting Chinese companies.
5.Technology and Social Media: Trump proposes regulations requiring social media companies to have appeal processes for account suspensions, and potentially requiring court orders for content takedowns, which would likely entail new legislation .
These plans would involve significant legal and legislative steps to be fully implemented and may face challenges due to federal and state jurisdiction boundaries.
