Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is distancing him from efforts by allies and former aides to sketch out his plans for a possible second term.

He has also pledged to appoint a special prosecutor to go after President Joe Biden and has outlined an immigration agenda that includes militarizing the southern border and mass deportations.

    That seems like a pretty low bar.
