Just the News ^ | August 10, 2020 - 12:28pm | By John Solomon

Here are the six promises the president said will comprise his pro-worker agenda if he wins in November:

1. Defeat the coronavirus with vaccines and other treatment

"We are working very, very hard. We call it the China virus. …We are attacking the virus from every angle, and through this aggressive strategy we will win the war, and it will happen sooner than people think," he said. "We're developing a bounty of therapies such as remdesivir, dexamethasone, antibody treatments, the antibody treatments are really working out well, really well.

2 Reviving the economy from the pandemic slowdown

The president made clear he will make economic growth a top priority, revving jobs and manufacturing to the levels they were before the pandemic and going even further to build prosperity

3. Turning America into the premier medical and pharmaceutical hub in the world

4 Creating new manufacturing jobs in the United States

This has been a theme since Trump first hit the campaign trail back in 2015, but last week at the Whirlpool event he extended his plan with ambitious new goals and identifying the industries he imagines will grow.

5. Using pressure to force jobs lost overseas to return to the United States

Trump made clear he will continue to use tariffs and new trade agreements to force American companies that sent jobs overseas to bring them back home.

6. Protect American workers from unfair outsourcing

Trump said his final promise was to protect American workers from unfair practices and bad decisions, citing his decision last week to fire the head of the Tennessee Valley Authority, a quasi-governmental power utility. The fired chairman was paying himself $8 million a year while sourcing jobs overseas.

Not a fan of point #3 frankly. I don’t want to further empower babbling idiots like Tony Fauci and the CDC.

Then there’s the capital gains tax. Eliminate it. Corporate tax? Corporations don’t pay taxes so eliminate it. Then eliminate corporate welfare. Eliminate entire departments to pay for it.

I have to say that these read like a 4-year plan to react to the events of the past 6 months or so.

Too bad there’s nothing about extolling liberty and freedom while crushing the enemies of freedom — the Deep State, Democrats, BLM, antifa, and communists.

But I suppose that will happen anyway.

“Restoring Law and Order needs to be on the list.”

Absolutely. I just wrote something along those lines in #12.

So I guess Trump is avoiding talking about the immigration flood.

Yes. BLM has given him an opening with Hispanics who are reacting negatively to the Democrats giving the store away to Blacks. I would not look for him to talk about immigration much in this campaign.

He’s referring to private sector not public sector nests of federal leech bureaucrats.

At this point they're pretty much tied together at the wrists and ankles IMHO.

Not Kodak and what he just did to the parasitic middle layer of very very very rich extortionists in Pharm colors is beyond courageous.

These criminals are ensconced in the pharma middle layer as resellers because that’s where the money is, where the captive population is, where the immunity from liability is. They are mafia, pure and simple, and if people knew just how criminal they can be, they’d be even more empathetic with President Trump if that were possible. He cut them out and also bypassed CDC while sidelining Fauci.

As long as he’s in office, we can be assured those that have preyed on the American population and ripped off the taxpayers for decades will not be able to rest.

It’s a whole new ballgame.
