"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Thoughts? I'd love to see some of these come to fruition, and some, hell no. Specifically:
#1, 4, 5, & 6 under the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC list
nothing under the "protect American workers list until vetted by economists, and especially not #5, 6, or 7
For his legislation, I'd like to know what effect the Middle Class Tax will have on our budget and deficit.
#2 and #3, hell yeah
#4 perhaps
#5 if you're going to repeal the ACA, then there better be a damn good plan to replace it.
#6 sounds reasonable and I like the concept.
#7 is a pipe dream, no way is it realistic. I get that he campaigned on it and has to put it in there, but ain't gonna happen. Unless they want to keep us out.
#8 details please
#9 LOL - "rebuild our military"? From what? It hasn't decreased, military spending is at an all time high and constitutes the majority of our budget. The part about supporting our veterans with better services, hell yeah. Protecting our infrastructure from cyber-attack, great. New screening procedures? What exactly does that mean (discrimination against entire religions or citizens of a country, regardless of whether they are refugees and victims of ISIS)? Considering how few terrorists attacks we've had on American soil, I think the process as it is is sound, it just needs more manpower so they aren't so backlogged. Of course, that hiring freeze on all new federal employees is a problem...
#10 Awesome! Does that mean we're going to be repealing Citizens United? Getting money out of campaigns? Let's see some details!

At the end of October, Donald Trump spoke in Gettysburg, Pa., and released a plan for his first 100 days in office.
The plan (below) outlines three main areas of focus: cleaning up Washington, including by imposing term limits on Congress; protecting American workers; and restoring rule of law. He also laid out his plan for working with Congress to introduce 10 pieces of legislation that would repeal Obamacare, fund the construction of a wall at the Southern border (with a provision that Mexico would reimburse the U.S.), encourage infrastructure investment, rebuild military bases, promote school choice and more.
On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mostly made nice with Trump but also shot down or expressed little enthusiasm in some of his plans. On Trump's proposal to impose term limits on Congress, McConnell said, "It will not be on the agenda in the Senate." McConnell has been a long-standing opponent of term limits, as NPR's Susan Davis reports. "I would say we have term limits now — they're called elections."
McConnell also threw some cold water on Trump's infrastructure plans, calling it not a top priority.
