Donald Trump’s day-one promises for his upcoming term include mass deportations costing $86 billion, reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy, and using local enforcement to implement immigration laws. He also aims to negotiate an end to the Ukraine-Russia war, though specifics remain vague. On the economy, he plans to impose tariffs to lower consumer costs, despite concerns about potential trade wars. Additionally, he has pledged to pardon individuals involved in the January 6th insurrection, raising legal and ethical debates. These promises, if enacted, could have significant social, economic, and geopolitical impacts.
What are your thoughts on the feasibility of these promises? How might mass deportations or increased tariffs affect the economy and public opinion? Do you think Trump’s approach to Ukraine and Russia could realistically achieve peace in such a short timeframe? How should we view the January 6th pardons in the broader context of justice and accountability?

And even then they wouldn’t lower costs for consumers, people would be paying three times more for the same product (possibly but probably not American made). There is no world in which tariffs lower costs, that’s not what they’re for. Tariffs are a mechanism to protect domestic products from cheaper foreign ones by making foreign products cost the same or more for consumers. People need to be shouting from the roof tops that Tariffs are a government tax on consumers until the moron MAGAts get it through their thick skulls.
You can have 30% foreign materials and still label your product as Made in the USA.
