The Presidency

13 POLICY REASONS AMERICAN MUST AND SHOULD VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS

PLEASE RESEARCH and VOTE ON POLICY.   NO PARTY SHOULD HAVE TOO MUCH POWER--our forefathers set a constitution to prevent that!  

#1:  Inflation and Energy Costs

Trump:  Believes in an America-First Energy policy that brings down gas and oil prices and blocks inflation.  Trump 6,234 permits to drill on federal and private land in effect moving forward.

Harris:   Believe in federal spending and Green New Deal policies that drive up energy costs and inflation.  Harris repeated interviews against US energy initiatives.  Recently changed her position because it was unpopular in Pennsylvania.  Harris' role in the Biden/Harris administration restricted permits on federal land.  While Dems say total permits 9,522 HOWEVER, 5,366 struck due to slowdown in leasing by Biden/Harris with only 4,056 moving forwad and only on federal land.  Restrictions results in paltry 452 new permits.  Negotiations with environmentalists caused all permits for Colorado, New Mexico, Montana, and Wyoming to be stopped for re-evaluation.   See facts from actual BLM data.  No details on the "Opportunity Ecomony" 

#2  Taxes

Trump:  Believes Americans already pay too much in taxes.  Would maintain the tax cuts put in place under his administration that are expiring in 2025.  Wants to keep the corporate tax rate reasonable so that companies do not move to other countries.   He would preserve the Jobs Act (TCJA) changes, further reduce the corporate income tax rate in some form, exempt tips and Social Security benefits from tax, impose a 10 percent or higher universal baseline tariff on all imports, and raise current tariffs on China to at least 60 percent. 

Harris:  Believes you are not paying your fair share.  Harris will significantly raise the corporate tax rate which would drive businesses out of America.   Harris carries forward much of President Biden’s FY 2025 budget, including higher taxes aimed at businesses and high earners. She would also further expand the child tax credit (CTC) and various other tax credits and incentives while exempting tips from income tax.  On a gross basis, it is estimated that Vice President Harris’s proposals would increase taxes by about $4.1 trillion from 2025 to 2034. After taking various credits and tax cuts into account, Harris would raise about $1.7 trillion over 10 years on a conventional basis, and after factoring in reduced revenue from slower economic growth, the net revenue increase comes to $642 billion. We estimate the proposed tax changes would reduce long-run GDP by 2.0 percent, the capital stock by 3.0 percent, wages by 1.2 percent, and employment by about 786,000 full-time equivalent jobs.  Analysis suggests the tax policies would raise top tax rates on corporate and individual income to among the highest in the developed world, slowing economic growth and reducing competitiveness. The tax credits and other carveouts would complicate the tax code, run more spending through the IRS, and, together with various price controls, fail to improve affordability challenges in housing and other sectors. 

#3  The Border

Trump:  Believes we must secure our borders and deport illegal aliens.   

• Built over 400 miles of the world’s most robust and advanced border wall
• Illegal crossings have plummeted over 87 percent where the wall has been constructed
• Deployed nearly 5,000 troops to the Southern border. In addition, Mexico deployed tens of thousands of their own soldiers and national guardsmen to secure their side of the U.S.–Mexico border
• Ended the dangerous practice of Catch-and-Release, which means that instead of aliens getting released into the United States pending future hearings never to be seen again, they are detained pending removal, and then ultimately returned to their home countries
• Entered into three historic asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to stop asylum fraud and resettle illegal migrants in third-party nations pending their asylum applications
• Entered into a historic partnership with Mexico, referred to as the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” to safely return asylum-seekers to Mexico while awaiting hearings in the United States
• The Department of Justice prosecuted a record-breaking number of immigration-related crimes
• Used Section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to reduce the number of aliens coming from countries whose governments refuse to accept their nationals who were ordered removed from the United States
• Ended asylum fraud, shut down human smuggling traffickers, and solved the humanitarian crisis across the Western Hemisphere

Harris:  

• Said over and over again that the border was closed.  It was not a problem.
• How can anyone doubt the border issues that have resulted due to the Harris and Biden approach to the border.    Harris was in charge.  Harris has completely flip flopped since becoming the nominee.  The cost of the border crisis is estimated to be at least $150.7 billion.   
• Communities face challenges in providing shelter and public services to large numbers of new people. The results are NOT HUMANE!  New York City's mayor estimates that the city will pay $4.6 billion this year to care for migrants.
•  Haitians are now over 50% of the population in Springfield Ohio, driving up crime, deaths, etc.  Venezuelan Gangs are taking over apartment buildings in Aurora and while our Governor turns his head.  Migrants are disrupting small towns in Texas and Alabama.  Children's sports are moved out of parks to support migrants.  
• The US taxpayer is paying for free housing, free health care, free medical, free education, free travel, free food, free travel to the expense of its own citizens.  
• New evidence that Biden/Harris lot 325,000 children, no idea where they are or whether they are alive or dead, sold into the sex trades.  this is NOT HUMANE!
• Securing our country’s borders and safeguarding the American people are fundamental responsibilities of the federal government. Ongoing human trafficking at the border is a humanitarian crisis, and the smuggling of fentanyl and other illicit substances poses a serious risk to Americans. 

#4  Social Security and Medicare

Trump:  Believes Social Security and Medicare must always be there for American seniors.

Harris:  Believe illegal aliens should be given Social Security and Medicare benefits.  Do you?  What do you think the long-term impact on American Citizens will be?

#5  American Sovereignty and National Defense Policies

Forefathers:  Expressly set the constitution for LIMITED government.  Do you want the Government to determine your decisions for you?  

Trump:  Believes in a military that is second to none and an America-First foreign policy.  NO WARS under Trump.  Trump believes all countries within NATO should pay their fair share.  Do you?  Or...do you believe that USA and it's taxpayers should shoulder the cost of the world?  Media states Trump LOVES the leaders of Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.  NO, he respects their position of power and what they represent to the world.  The addage is "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Harris:  Believes America should be subservient to the UN, NATO, the WHO and other globalist entities.  The world on the cusp of WWIII.  Perhaps most importantly, Harris has NO foreign policy experience, unless you believe the Biden ABS interview where Biden said he gave her Foreign Policy decisions.  If that is true do you approve of the way we pulled out of Afghanistan?  Do you agree with leaving billions of US military systems behind?  Do you believe that it is ok that our base in Afghanistan is now occupied by China?  Do you believe in the cash they left?  Do you agree with the hostages they left behind?  

#6:  Israel

Trump:  Believes Israel must destroy Hamas to survive.  Will make wise deals to achieve results.

Harris:  Believes in the two-state system.  That Israel must coexist with Hamas.

#7:  Weaponization of Government

Trump: Believes the Government should never target citizens for their political views.

Harris:  The Biden-Harris administration has transformed the DOJ and the FBI into a KGB-like organizations that support the political needs of the administration.  Legal scholars have outlined how the law was misused.  

#8 Fidelity to the Constitution

Trump:  Believes in the original meaning and intent of the Constitution as laid down by the Founders.

Harris:  Believes that the Constitution is a "living and breathing" document that can be changed at anytime.  Would it be good for our country for one party to have sole control?  What has happened to other countries which this is the case?  History has shown us.

#9  Right to Life

Trump:  Opposes abortion but believes the decision for how to handle abortion belongs at the state level.  He does NOT support a federal ban on abortion.  Pro-choice is one thing, late term abortions are another.

Harris:  Promises to push through a national law guaranteeing taxpayer-funded abortion up to the moment of birth.  Democrats fund planned parenthood.

#10 Men in Women's Sports

Trump:  Believes there are only two genders and men should not be allowed to play in women's sports.

Harris:  Believes there are many genders and men should be allowed to play in women's sports if they choose to.  Transgender is a cornerstone of the Harris administration. Fosters transgender men competing in women's sports.  Recently  The administration reopened paying for transgender surgery for service members, reversing the Trump administration’s ban. Harris expanded access to gender-affirming health care through government healthcare programs, including in federal prisons, and expanded access to accurate gender markers on federal government identification documents, such as passports. 

#11 Law and Order

Trump:  Believes criminals should be fully punished and local police fully supported and funded.

Harris  Believes there must be stricter controls on mail-in ballots, voter verification, and vote counting.  Believes in sentencing and bond policies which has put criminals back on the streets without penalty.  Supported the "defund the police" movement during COVID.  Supported the violence during 2020.  Harris is interviewed stating that "it should continue."

#12 Election Integrity

Trump:  Believes there must be stricter controls on mail-in ballots, voter verification, and vote counting.  Believes in the requirement for showing a photo ID card to vote.

Harris:  Believe in automatic voter registration, mass mailings of unsolicited mail-in ballots and voting without a photo ID.  Note that the use of deceased is prevalent in voter fraud and Georgia just removed over 400K names of deceased from their voter roles.  

#13  The USA

Trump:  Believes in Ronald Reagan's creed that America is a "shining city on the hill" that serves as a stabilizer and a beacon of liberty for the world.  

 Harris:   Believes that America is a racist country founded by greedy slave owners and and that we should provide reparations for people that were never slaves by people that were never slave owners.  Many, many interviews of Harris stating that the violence that ensued after George Floyd should have pushed on.  Did support "defunding the police"

Subjective  Positions.

  #14  January 6th

Trump:  Should not have held that rally that day.  Period.  

Democrats:    Pelosi turned her head.  Ask yourself--why didn't they help to stop it.  Democrats put FBI agents in the crowd with an agenda.  Many unanswered questions about the behavior of the Democrats. Very difficult to respect a position against Trump on January 6th if all the facts on both sides are not objectively considered.  

#15  SPEAKING ABILITY

Trump:  Not a good debater in my estimation.  But also was never leaked the questions in advance.  Can speak to and relate to the general public.  

Harris:  Cannot carry on a coherent conversation without notes or teleprompters.  Avoids interviews, press conferences.  Had all debate questions leaked to her and had to prepare for a week to memorize statements to known questions.  Had a teleprompter to help with answers to questions at the Oprah Winfrey interview.  Pretended to talk to someone on the phone when she had earbuds in.  Let's make it fair--let's ask her the difficult questions Trump has to address.  Let's see how she thinks on her feet without notes, without teleprompters, without a 5-day prep.

#16  POLICY POSITION DETAILS

Trump:  Policies have not changes.  Repeatedly stated his not NOT behind Project 2025 and has not read it

Harris:  Where are her policy details--they matter!  Poor policies and their impact on the nation  take us ALL down.  IT is important to know.
