And then re-admit them and give amnesty (let stay) those he approves of; he is trying to bamboozle people respecting amnesty! You mean one has to separate bluster from principle. When it comes to Donald Trump, I don't think that is my problem.
Better trade deals.
He harps on the Chinese manipulating currency as though that were the only problem in our trade imbalance with China. He does that to bamboozle us to make us believe that by curing the Chinese of their habit of depressing their currency to make their trade goods more attractive, he will have solved our trade deficit with China. He does that because there is no effective special interests (voting block) who will object, the damage to American exporters is too diffuse. A coherent policy tells us how he is going to compel the Chinese to lay off their currency. He has to do that by threatening to stop imports and if he does that he risks a trade war. He doesn't want to tell us how because he does not want to lose support. He just blusters on about jobs. He does not tell us which sectors of which industries will be sacrificed in order to force China to change its currency policy or to stop pirating our goods etc. What does he tell us instead? He tells us that is a smart negotiator. He tells us that our negotiators are stupid-they are not stupid they are deliberately favoring one American sector over another. To change that you have to get Congress to go along because this is a matter of treaty. If Trump wants to act unilaterally, honesty as well as coherence requires that he tell us. How will he handle Congress if he does not act unilaterally Congress will fight for their constituents. These observations can be applied to Mexico and the wall etc. etc.Trade is a complicated comprehensive problem which requires a comprehensive solution, we don't get that from Trump.
How to stop ISIS
He proposes to take the oil away from Isis. In order to do that you have to control the ground in order to control the ground you have to have reliable boots on the ground to seize and hold the oilfield. He doesn't tell you that because a majority of the country is against boots on the ground. He is bamboozling us. He assured us that Arab countries will supply boots on the ground and fight Isis but he does not tell us how or what we must do for him to get his wish. Remember, we thought we had the war won and the first shot all our sacrifice disintegrated. How will change that, and what price in blood and treasure? How will the move the country to support waging war? He doesn't tell us because he doesn't want to lose support by talking about reality.
Asked about if there attacks and a flat tax, he allows they would be fine but he won't tell us if he actually would support them as a matter of policy rather he simply repeats a mantra as he does with virtually every issue, taxes should be simpler and reduced. He wants to reduce taxes, how will he pay for a new military? A coherent strategy involves telling us.He rails about the national debt but which entitlement will he him cut?
