Before winning the 2024 election, Donald Trump shared major plans to change America. He promised high tariffs, mass deportations, and more control over the Federal Reserve. His campaign focused on boosting the economy, securing borders, and cutting government red tape. These ideas, laid out in speeches and his “Agenda 47,” stirred up strong reactions.
Here’s a short version of the eight key points from Trump’s pre-2024 election plans:
- Economy: high tariffs (10-20% on imports, 60% on China), extend 2017 tax cuts, cut corporate tax to 15%, eliminate taxes on tips and social security benefits.
- Immigration: mass deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants, complete border wall, end birthright citizenship, reinstate travel ban.
- Energy: boost oil, gas, and coal production, exit Paris Climate Agreement, undo Biden’s electric vehicle policies.
- Education: abolish Department of Education, promote school choice, ban Critical Race Theory and transgender policies in schools.
- Government reform: fire “rogue bureaucrats” via Schedule F, limit Federal Reserve independence, ban lobbying by ex-officials.
- Healthcare: repeal Affordable Care Act, lower drug costs, expand veterans’ private care access.
- Foreign policy: isolationist stance, end Russia-Ukraine war, build missile defense shield, prioritize American trade interests.
- Other: develop “freedom cities,” protect Second Amendment, investigate political opponents, align with some Project 2025 goals.
