On a trip to Ohio this week, President Trump laid out six priorities for his second term, aiming to restore the high-powered economy that his administration created only to see devastated by the Chinese coronavirus and ensuing lockdowns. Together, these promises show a laser focus on defeating the virus and creating jobs and opportunity for all Americans.
Trump has been criticized as of late by the corporate media for spending too much time attacking his opponent Joe Biden and not enough time outlining what his goals are for the next four years. This detailed plan should put such concerns to bed and serve as a foundation for his message in the final months of the election. Here are the six promises.
This should come as no surprise. The Chinese coronavirus has become the central issue of the election. In addition to a sharp increase in testing over recent months and the development of treatments for virus victims, the president touted his administrations effort to secure a vaccine by year-end. Once thought impossible, many experts now agree that Operation Warp Speed as the effort is known is on track to do just that.
In his remarks the president noted the virus should never have been allowed to leave China, but that under his leadership we are fighting it back, and that unlike earlier in the year, we now know how to pinpoint it, and who to protect. Ultimately containment of the virus is essential to the further plans he outlined. Each a plank in rebuilding the American economy.
Trumps promise to voters on this issue is that he did it before and he can do it again. The very Whirlpool plant that he was speaking at, he argued, was a testament to the success of the policies that created massive growth before the virus struck. Having replaced NAFTA, long a thorn in the side of Rust Belt states like Ohio, with a new trade agreement more fair to American workers, he assured the crowd that his earlier success would be replicated.
An important piece of news floated under the radar last week as the Trump Administration invoked the Defense Production Act to provide loans for a major Kodak facility in upstate New York, where the manufacturer will convert to creating the ingredients for pharmaceuticals. The process is expedited by the similarities between drug and film chemical manufacturing.
As a result, domestic production of these ingredients will increase from 10 to 25 percent of our total need in the next five years. That isnt just a jobs creator. It also creates medical security for the nation that has let its own lack of manufacturing make it dangerously dependent on countries like Communist China to provide life-saving drugs.
Until Trump ran for president in 2016, Americans had spent almost 30 years being told by both parties that manufacturing jobs were gone for good and not coming back. Some kind of new high tech economy was promised, an early iteration of “learn to code.” Trump opposed the globalism of that neoliberal position and he said On January 23, 2018 at my desk in the Oval Office, I signed an order to impose a 50 percent tariff on all foreign-made washing machines. The workers watching understood just how important policies like that are to their industry and their jobs.
Trumps goal for a second term is not only to keep good paying American jobs here in America, but to attract even more factory jobs into communities that have suffered for years under former policies. As the trade deals fell, Trump argued the jobs came back. We made extraordinary progress in reversing the dangerous tide of globalism. Over a period of four to five years this took place. Think of it, four to five years, what we have done is a miracle, he remarked.
This final promise for his final term is really a summation of all the previous ones. After more than a generation of being ignored by administration after administration, Trumps first term laid groundwork for American job growth that he says he can build on. If Trump can hammer home this message, especially in battleground states, then Joe Biden is going to have to escape the basement sooner rather than later to deliver his own message and explain why a return to the failed globalist policies of the past are going to work if he tries them again.

Seedy? Really?
Theres nothing wrong with drug stores. In fact, Ill bet theres one right down the street from you, and you know darn well what he means.

This thread needs a pic of Walgreens soda fountain.
Speaking with my wife about this and she always brings up the Bible and God and she brought up the struggle is with powers and principalities.
Not sure about before but I know, because I have seen most of the years since Roosevelt, how this battle goes and the trend has been downhill because the seeds of our own destruction are in the freedoms of our Constitution. The very idea of allowing free speech and expression of avowed enemies that seek to destroy what most of us want to be is nothing but stupid and suicidal. To allow them to easily lead and guide sedition by guile? Absurd! We have done that already when we do not clap in irons anyone who even suggests to circumvent our agreed upon system of government.
The founders never imagined that the checks and balances between the Administrative, Legislative and Judicial branches could be so corrupted and fouled.
The phrase and powers of “Executive Orders in any President’s hands are cringe worthy. It was never intended or envisioned that such power would be wielded by one person frequently to quickly lurch our system about let alone to have the zig-zag course we weave in the maze of politics as usual.
If we do not finally wreck on the rocks soon we are in for an increasingly rough trip ahead. I think better to wreck than to continue to morph into something increasingly terrible.
BTW, when is the last time you heard of some massive migration heading towards the USA? Trump told the Mexican President to put a stop to it or massive tariffs on Mexican products would occur. Guess who blinked and mobilized their soldiers on their southern border?
Not only that, Pres. Trump got a deal that Mexico would hold all Central America asylum seekers in their country.
Trump also won the approval of USSC for restrictions on asylum claim/applications, and IIRC the President's authority to transfer DOD funds to the wall. Correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the Mexican illegals caught every day, they are sent back to Mexico which has always been the policy. Again, check out the CBP site and see the incredible reduction of Mexican apprehensions. Trump is getting it done!
“The H1-B visa “
Is that anymore proof one needs to show that our education system is broken
I think we are already the narcotic drugstore of the world. We all understand he is talking about legal, pharmaceutical drugs.
#7 Arrest the traitors. Send them to jail forever.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Otherwise, none of the rest matters.
You can clean up the mess that rats make, but unless you get rid of the rats, theyll make the same mess all over again as soon as youre done...
You did a good job of ing the low IQ bunch too. LOL
Yeah, nobody appreciates slightly subversive observational humor anymore. Butts that are puckered and don’t know how to unpucker. It ain’t gonna affect your dogma to give yourself a little wink.
There is an important point that #3 covers: A good portion of the worlds drug ingredients/precursors/etc. are not only made in China but are made in factories downstream of the Three Gorges Dam. If that thing goes, global pharmaceuticals production will grind to a halt.
7. Finance BLM/Antifa terrorism by extending “unemployment” till the end of the year which he did yesterday while those who keep the economy afloat by actually working get effed in the butt. He did himself tremendous damage yesterday
I'd rather see it's complete destruction rather than just a 10% reduction.
How would one legally infring on a right?
I agree. Thats an ideal platform!!!
Where’s securing the Southern Border against invasion?
#1 DONE, day after election whether he wins or not
WTF, where is border security and draining the swamp?
You mention speaking with your husband. I assume therefore you are a woman.
I then notice your screen name of “boxlunch”
I find that interesting........
I ran over my dogma with my own karma! :)
I was hoping for:
#1 - Send in the National Guard to round up these scumbag rioters
Well Netherlands will object to the competition on the Cannabis front
