In recent days, the Democrat media Axios leaked what would become Donald Trump’s official electoral platform for the 2024 campaign.

In it, the former president lays out his proposals for a return to the White House after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden thanks to what many Republicans consider gross voter fraud by the Democratic Party in the states where it governs.

In his proposals, the leading Republican candidate says he will repeat the successful economic measures he implemented between 2017 and 2019, which led the United States to full employment, the return of hundreds of companies that were in China, energy independence, and the largest tax cut in magnitude in history.

Unfortunately, these policies were put on hold by the pandemic.

After Biden came to power, Trump’s economic plan was dismantled in favor of a return to Barack Obama’s social democratic policies.

But in turn, he now proposes concrete actions to combat the “Deep State”, made up of permanent federal officials, intelligence agencies such as the CIA, the FBI, or the NSA, and the political establishment that work in unison to prevent a president from carrying out the reforms he wants.

While in his first term, he tried to fight the “swamp,” as he called it in his campaign, his lack of political experience meant he failed to get results.

It was only in 2020, in the last months of his administration, that Trump implemented the “You’re Fired Plan” to oust decades-long public servants in the state who had been working against him throughout his term.

The plan was dismantled on Biden’s first day in the White House, by decree, but now Trump proposes to push it again at the beginning of his potential second term and have four full years to clean up the “swamp”.

The rest of the proposals include combating gender ideology and indoctrination in schools, banning sex change surgeries on minors, fiercely combating illegal immigration and drug trafficking, re-building the wall that Biden stopped in January 2021, and convening a general audit of the Federal Reserve, federal prosecutors and the State Department.

In addition, he will seek to work with Congress to pass a law guaranteeing freedom of expression on the internet and combat authoritarian measures such as identity identification on social networks and the mandatory digital dollar.

Finally, Trump’s plans include pardoning and releasing all protesters illegally arrested on January 6 who are still imprisoned without a trial (around 500 political prisoners held by Biden) and immediately negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS, ACCORDING TO AXIOS

DISARM THE “DEEP STATE”

Federal Workforce: Among his measures to combat the Swamp, Trump proposes giving the president the authority to hire and fire federal workers at will, suspending measures that exist to block the discretionary firing of permanent public employees.

Intelligence Agency Reform: Trump proposes to strip powers from the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, NSA, and Pentagon, firing thousands of officials who have been there for decades and replacing them with a “new generation” of public servants not associated with the establishment.

Sack “Marxist Prosecutors”: The Republican candidate promises to audit all federal prosecutors at the Justice Department “to ensure they are not spying on our citizens” and fire them if necessary.

Audit of the Federal Reserve and the Pentagon: Among his proposals, the former president assures that the monetary and military policies of the United States have lost their independence from politics during these years of the Biden administration and “measures to correct this will have to be taken”.

EDUCATION

Firing educators who indoctrinate children: Trump wants to fire all “radical left” teachers, professors, and rectors of public institutions and private schools that receive state funding. He proposes to analyze the contents taught to children rigorously and if there are complaints about the topics they deal with in the classrooms.

Eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Departments: In recent years, all public and private schools have opened departments that promote the gender agenda and that exercise positive discrimination. Trump wants to close by decree these areas in public schools.

Gender Indoctrination: Trump wants the Justice Department to investigate school boards for promoting sexually explicit books in school libraries and for withholding gender change discussions from parents.

HEALTH, BIRTH, AND HOUSING

Gender Change: Trump wants to launch a federal investigation of hospitals recommending gender change to their patients. Specifically, he wants to determine whether they “have deliberately covered up the long-term side effects of gender transitions,” which include castration surgeries and hormone treatments. It also wants to kick out hospitals or Medicaid and Medicare providers if they offer gender affirmation to children.

Housing: In his agenda, the Republican proposes eliminating an Obama-era rule requiring cities and local governments to regulate which companies or individuals receive permits to build and/or dwell in the suburbs. Trump wants to repeal all laws known as “zoning,” where huge subsidized developments are created for the lower classes in the suburbs, destroying the housing market in the area and forcing people back to the cities.

Baby Boom: The former president wants to launch a “quantum leap” to revolutionize the American living standard, including bonuses for families with many babies. “I want us to have a new baby boom in my term and ten new freedom cities to emerge in the United States.”

INSECURITY

Wall: Trump promises to finish building the wall on the southern border with Mexico, which was left half done when Biden came to power and canceled construction by decree.

Drug Trafficking and Organized Crime: The Republican proposes using the US Army to militarize the border and southern states where insecurity is at historic highs due to increased illegal immigration and drug cartels.

Free Carry: Trump wants to implement national carry reciprocity, which would allow people with a carry permit in their home state to have that privilege in any other state in the country.
