Trump's Real Agenda Boils Down To Only Two Selfish Things


Donald Trump is campaigning on two major issues - immigration and inflation. Both of those are false issues!

Trump has said he would deport the 11 or 12 million undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States. That would be a logistical nightmare, and he knows it. And it's doubtful that his business buddies would allow him to do it, since it could wreck many industries that count on those immigrants to survive (like the meat industry). Heck, Trump even uses those immigrants to build (to avoid having to pay decent wages).

And his economic plan would not decrease inflation. The only thing he has proposed is to put tariffs of 10% to 60% on foreign goods entering the United States. That would not decrease inflation - it would increase it by making those goods more expensive for consumers to buy!

So, what is his real agenda? The only two things Trump really wants to do is decrease his own taxes (and those of his billionaire buddies and to stay out of jail.

He has said he wants to extend the tax cuts he got passed in his first term (82% of which went to the rich and super-rich). These are the only people in the country that don't need a tax cut - and it would add trillions more to the national debt.

But perhaps the most important thing he wants is to stay out of jail. He is unlikely to get a prison sentence for his New York conviction of 34 counts, but a prison sentence is very possible in the federal counts he faces and in the Georgia case. 

If he was elected, he would appoint a sycophant as Attorney General and the federal counts would disappear. And the Georgia case would be unlikely to proceed while he was president.

While Trump is campaigning on false issues, his real agenda is a selfish one.
