What’s next?
Donald Trump’s return to the White House reminds Americans of Trump’s champagne promises that he ought to fulfilled. I unfold eleven promises Donald Trump made during champagne that every Americans are hoping he fulfilled!
End War In Gaza and Ukraine: Trump vowed, that if given the second chance of returning to white house, he will end the war in Gaza and Ukraine before he’s inaugurated. Both wars had claimed hundred of thousands of lives, and displaced tens of millions people from their homes. No one knows how Donald Trump would end the wars. We hoped he would!
Countering China’s influence. Containing China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region through renewal of India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership with Narendra Modi’s government, which include new defense deals, which will allow India to buy military equipment and new defense technologies worth $20 billion (€18.3 billion). Further more, Trump will deepen geopolitical engagement with the QUAD (a grouping of nations comprising the United States, India, Japan, and Australia) against china.
Actualisation of Trump’s “America first” policy.
The republican candidate, Donald Trunp intended to imposed tariffs as high as 25 percent on a range of Chinese/indian goods such as Information Technology (IT), pharmaceutical, and textile goods if relected into US president; thereby creating less competitive environment for US companies involved in same business niche.
End to immigration: No doubt Trump vows to carry out the “largest deportation of illegal immigrants” in U.S. history, and would put an end to border crossing! Even legal immigrants of legal paperworks would likely felt the harsh immigrant policies that Mr. Trump’s prepared for Americans. Donald Trump vowed to reclose american-southern borders in effort to restrict the amount immigrants flowing into USA soil through the region, which ever since Joe Biden’s government have been opened allowing immigrants parasiting American’s economy and havocking American’s society.
Cut federal funding to schools that are supporters of racial theory" and “transgender” matters. Donald Trump is concerned with what’s been taught in USA schools regarding racial theories, and normality with transgender. With Trump relected, he will cut federal funding on schools that teaches, supports, and promotes critical race theory and transgender matters, and will reinstate the withdrawal of Obama-era protections that permitted transgender students to use public school restrooms according to how they identified.
Nullification of electric vehicle mandate. Trump often says he’d nullify President Biden’s electric vehicle mandate. Mr. Biden has not issued an EV mandate, though he is advising Americans to adopt EVs and is offering incentives to move the country to the point where 50% of new vehicles sold are zero-emission, a goal he hopes to reach by 2030. Rolling back an EPA rule entails logistical hurdles, but it is something a president can accomplish without Congress.
End taxes on tips. Trump plan to end taxes on tips collected by tipped workers, ensuring they would no longer be subject to federal taxes on those tips. A tip is a gift, and shouldn’t be taxed. Trump hasn’t explain how he’s going to pay up for the plan.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has estimated the cost of this promise to be as high as $250 billion.
- Ban Abortion. Signing law on the ban of Abortion is Trump’s top priority. Donald Trump will sign legislation that bans a federal right to abortion, which American women fear as their rights will be constraint by the feds.
No taxes on Social Security income. Trump has also vowed to stop taxing Social Security benefits for seniors. About 40% of Social Security recipients pay federal income taxes on those benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. Federal taxes on Social Security income isn’t mandatory until an individual’s combined income reaches $25,000. An individual filer with a total income between $25,000 and $34,000 may have to pay income tax on up to 50% of those benefits, and above $34,000, up to 85% of Social Security benefits may be taxable, according to the SSA.
“Replace” Obamacare. In his debate against Kamala Harris, Trump pledged to replace the Affordable Care Act, something he was unable to do in the four years he was president. In 2016, he also campaigned in 2016 on repealing the health care law.
“Obamacare was lousy health care,” Trump said during the debate. “Always was. It’s not very good today. And what I said, that if we come up with something, and we are working on things, we’re going to do it and we’re going to replace it.”
Pressed during the debate on what his replacement plan would be, Trump replied that he had “concepts of a plan.”
- Expand the child tax credit. The Trump campaign has proposed expanding the child tax credit to up to $5,000 a year per child. Congress which holds the power of the purse, would have to sign off on this expansion. The CTC is currently $2,000 per child, with only $1,600 of that being refundable. Refundable tax credits can be received as a refund even if the filer owes no tax to the federal government. That means filers who owe the federal government little or nothing in federal income taxes are eligible for a tax credit of $1,600 per child.
Can Donald Trump fulfilled these eleven promises? Time will tell if he could.
