1. Torture is back on the table
The presidential hopeful has vowed to bring back waterboarding, an interrogation technique which has been banned as torture in the US. It simulates drowning.
He has promised to bring in other forms of torture that are "a hell of a lot worse" than waterboarding, too.

This makes the US the bad guy so good propaganda dor terrorist.

2. Gulf states will be made to pay for a "safe zone" for Syrians in the Middle East
He wants to build a "safe zone" for Syrian refugees in Syria. But Gulf states would have to pay for it.
He has said the United States should first deal with Isis before addressing President Bashar al-Assad's future, saying: "We have to do one thing at a time."
|
Why does he think he can force the Gulf States to pay for it? If they cared about the refugees they would stop funding the terrorists.
Quote:
3. Pharmaceuticals companies should be afraid
Mr Trump has claimed he could save the government $300 billion by negotiating better prices with drug companies, interestingly.
He has not said exactly how.
|
Good idea, how will he get it past the paid for politicians?
Quote:
4. Corporate tax would be reduced to 15 per cent instead of 35 per cent
Mr Trump would cut corporate tax by more than half. He would also reduce the number of tax brackets to four, instead of seven, and only allow a top marginal tax rate of 25 per cent.
While he said the plan is fully worked out, the Tax Foundation, an independent policy research group, has said it would cost more than $10 trillion over the next decade.

So borrowing will climb faster.

5. No one would be "ripping off" the US
Mr Trump claims he would let countries know that it does not pay to snub US exports, or move out of the country and try to sell exports back into it.
So he intends, for example, to place a 35 per cent tarrif on one company that makes air conditioners which decided to move to Mexico instead of being in the US.
He wants to do the same to Ford Motor Corp, for the same reason but because of motor vehicles this time.
And he would designate China a "currency manipulator" and put duties on its exports â?? as well chase up a World Trade Orgnisation cause looking at the Chinese government subsidising exporters.
He has also complained that Japan, Vietnam and India are keeping out some US exports.
|
Absolutely agree.
Quote:
6. The Education Department would be cut
The man who recently said he "loved the poorly educated because we're smart and we're loyal" wants to try to reduce the country's £19 trillion deficit with cuts to education.
He would cut the Environmental Protection Agency for the same reason.
|
Insanity.
Quote:
7. Obamacare is out
Senior citizens and low income Americans would still get Medicaid and Medicare. Older people would also retain Social Security retirement benefits.
Yet he would still make insurers give coverage to people with preexisting medical conditions, which was a central tenet of Obamacare.
|
Adopting the system the rest of the modern world has would be easier. The problem with Obama Care is the suppliers of the care are setting the prices. Like with drug and treatment costs.
Quote:
8. Not even a green card will help you get work in the US
Mr Trump would end "birthright citizenship" for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants â?? and deport the 11 million undocumented people living in America.
This is despite the controversy over his reported use of illegal Polish workers with no social security or regular pay cheques when constructing Trump Tower more than 30 years ago.
He would also "pause" new green cards and make employers offer jobs to US workers first.
|
Absolutely, not only are we exporting jobs, we're importing cheap labour. Problem is long term if he cuts education. Think about it.
Quote:
9. The Chinese had better watch out
Mr Trump would apparently increase the size of the US military to make it "so strong, so powerful that nobody's going to mess with us."
To that end, he would boost the US military presence in the East and South China seas to "discourage Chinese adventurism," according to his website.
|
The US had done its utmost to make China a World Power we now have to fear. About time, someone said so. Only problem is affording the
"so strong, so powerful that nobody's going to mess with us." Armed Forces are very expensive. Cutting income by 50% and doing this will bankrupt the EU.
10.
Build a Wall.no need to, just fine anyone who uses illegal labour so much the fine deters the crime. Like when his company uses illegal workers. Doing this will take millions off benefits, raise wages and prices. Still good in the long run.
