His foreign policy is not about reducing American force posture - he's going to "restore our military" - but about fewer wars. Nor have tariffs been promised. Nor has he promised anything about a financial collapse. The immigration goal is legitimate.Good luck with #4. As automation becomes ever less expensive, machines are taking more and more of the manufacturing jobs that used to be done by people. Instead of thousands of people in plants, you'll have maybe one-tenth (or less) of them overseeing the robots.
So from an actual Trump voter:
1. Appoint justices in the mold of Scalia.
2. Reduce net immigration rate to 0 or below.
3. Deport at least 4 million illegal aliens by end of 1st term.
4. Increase manufacturing jobs as a percent of the economy.
5. Pass a major tax cut.
6.. No new wars.
and of course focusing only on manufacturing jobs ignores the ever changing economy - over the next four years there will be big hits to the service industry as well ... to wit, Amazon's new Go stores with no cashiers
