Former President Donald J. Trump laid out 42 policy proposals at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) summit Tuesday, where he gave his first speech in Washington, DC, since leaving office.
Prepared remarks circulated by the Trump team show the 45th president’s proposals on an array of topics, including the Second Amendment, border security, education, energy, and election integrity, but a central focus of his policy proposal addresses law and order.
The prepared remarks first emphasized the importance of supporting police departments throughout the country and fostering a culture that respects law enforcement. “We have to give our police back their authority, resources, power, and prestige. Leave our police alone. Let them do their job. Give them back their RESPECT. They know what to do. We have to allow them to do it,” Trump’s plan said.
On top of giving officers the tools they need to succeed, Trump’s policy proposal called for the restitution of “stop-and-frisk policies in cities,” adding that it is imperative guns are taken from criminals. “If you are a convicted felon and you have a gun, you’re off the streets,” the proposal asserts.
Trump also proposed strengthening “qualified immunity and other protections for our police officers.”
He further called on the next set of Washington, DC, lawmakers, who take office in January, to make emergency funds available for the hiring of police officers across the nation, as many departments face staffing issues. “We need the largest increase in the hiring of police officers in American HISTORY——to get more police on the streets than EVER before, walking every beat,” the prepared remarks said.
The 45th president also advocated for a joint violence crime task force headed by both the Department and Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, which would focus on “destroying” gang organizations and imposing...

I watched a tape of his address and the impression I got was that getting the homeless off the streets was imperative, hence the tent city on the outskirts of the city where the homeless would be taken and housed. But he didn't say what authority allows the government to do that. If a person says they don't want to go and don't want/need rehab help then isn't that their right?
The more significant parts of Trump’s plan, including getting the mentally ill institutionalized, I completely agree with!
I just bought that t-shirt. But in MAGA red.
No mention of shipping the hoard of H1Bs back to Modi?
*Under what authority do the homeless get rounded up and held in tent cities?*
That is the stupidest question I’ve heard here. Worse, it’s lazy.
Please be advised there are vagrancy laws on the books right now. Try reading Jack London’s “The Road”. Less than 200 pages. He got 30 days for not being able to tell the cops what hotel he was staying at.
*If a person says they don’t want to go and don’t want/need rehab help then isn’t that their right?*
Just ask them if they enjoy anal sex. Stupid question.
Thank you for the outline. “He proposed concealed carry reciprocity.” Bravo.

Liberal heads exploding....
President Trump wants the citizens of EVERY State to enjoy the republican form of Government The Constitution guarantees them, and to be protected from invasion as The Constitution also demands the States ensure. Where States fail in those fundamentals, it is not, then, usurpation or a Tenth Amendment issue for FedGov to step in, take up the slack, and ensure the citizens in those failing States get what’s Constitutionally guaranteed them.
Hah! Perfect!
His #2 proposal is to go after guns? Great.
“Trump also proposed strengthening “qualified immunity and other protections for our police officers.”
Terrible idea.
“Trump suggested that the federal government mobilize the National Guard”
Too late, you already let cities burn for months in 2020. Why would anyone think you’d do differently next time?
No new cops, even if leftist cities can find them
Reap what you sow.
“The prepared remarks first emphasized the importance of supporting police departments throughout the country and fostering a culture that respects law enforcement. “
Racist fiend!
They would be able to supply their own tents since the streets are bulging with them
p
most of these are policy positions rather than actual proposals ... positions are the basis for proposals; actual proposals are HOW to implement positions ...
This is the proposal that I like:
“As lax bail laws and soft-on-crime policies have proceeded lawlessness in many states and metro areas, Trump asserted that the federal government intervenes when “Radical Democrat politicians” will not:
If Radical Democrat politicians at the state and local level REFUSE to protect public safety and instead turn criminals loose to prey upon the innocent, then the federal government will have NO CHOICE but to step in. Under these circumstances, the federal government has not just a right, but a DUTY, to use every tool, authority, and Constitutional power at its disposal to defend our citizens.”
This could best be accomplished by declaring martial law in the lawless areas and suspending habeous corpus, similar to what President Abraham Lincoln did in Maryland in 1861. With those declaration in place, the treasonous Democrat/Marxist politicians, prosecutors, activists, and media outlets advocating resistance and violence can be jailed and brought before military tribunals where appropriate punishments would ensure these Marxist traitors would never again be in a position to bring harm to the people of the United States.
Every last one of those points are just basic common sense that you would expect every person to support, but no, instead he is viciously attacked, it’s amazing.
