The Republican representative outlined a broad agenda and promised radical changes in his second administration.

Details

The newly elected president of the United States outlined a broad agenda that combines traditional conservative approaches to taxes, regulation and cultural issues with a more populist focus on trade and changing the international role of the United States.

Second administration 

Among the republican leader's priorities is the process of filling nearly 4,000 government positions with political appointees specially selected by his team for the respective tasks. These positions range from secretary of state and other senior cabinet officials to part-time members of boards and commissions.

The priorities that Trump has already proposed

  • National Defense and America's Role in the World

Trump's rhetoric and political approach to world affairs is more isolationist in diplomatic terms. It is characterized by non-interventionism in military terms, and more protectionist than the United States has been since World War II in economic terms. Trump insists that he can end Russia's war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas, without explaining how.

Trump summarizes his approach with another Reagan phrase: “peace through strength.” At the same time, Trump has repeatedly praised authoritarian leaders such as Hungary's Viktor Orban and Russia's Vladimir Putin.

  • Immigration issues

Despite the call to “Build the wall!”, Trump has indicated that the program will include “ideological screening” for potential immigrants. Trump also promises to reinstate first-term policies such as “Stay in Mexico,” restricting migrants on public health grounds, while also severely limiting or banning entry from certain countries. The approach could limit immigration in general.

  • Abortion

At Trump's insistence, the Republican Party platform does not call for a national ban on abortion for the first time in decades. Trump claims that it is enough to overturn Roe v. Wade at the federal level. Last month, Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that he would veto a federal ban on abortion if a bill came to his desk.

  • Tax policy

This topic is related to Trump's promise to continue the 2017 tax reform with several notable changes, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate to 15% from the current 21%. It is also about canceling the tax increase on the income of the richest Americans.

Trump also paid more attention to new proposals aimed at working and middle-class Americans: exemptions from income tax on tips, social security wages, and overtime pay.

His tip proposal, depending on how Congress formulates it, could provide benefits to those who receive the most wages, allowing them to reclassify a portion of their salary as tip income.

  • Climate and energy

Trump is proposing an energy policy tied to fossil fuels. Same for transportation infrastructure spending - tied to non-renewable energy sources; vehicles with internal combustion engines. Trump says he is not opposed to electric vehicles, but promises to cancel some previous incentives to encourage the development of the electric vehicle market and to roll back Biden-era fuel efficiency standards.

  • The law on affordable medicine and health care

As he has since 2015, Trump has been calling for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and the health insurance markets it subsidizes. But he has not yet proposed a replacement. In the latter stages of the campaign, Trump played up his alliance with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a longtime critic of vaccines and pesticides, and promised to put him in charge of “making America healthy again.

  • Workers' rights

Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance have positioned their program as one that is aimed at supporting American workers. But Trump could make it harder for workers to unionize. Again, the automobile theme: when Trump mentioned unions, he often referred to “union bosses and CEOs” as complicit in “this disastrous electric car scheme.”
