Trump White House Official Calls for Trump to Be Arrested for Threatening Liz Cheney
During Donald Trump’s presidency, several right-wing policies were implemented across various areas, including immigration, the economy, deregulation, and judicial appointments. Here’s a breakdown of key policies: 1. Immigration: • Border Security and Immigration Restrictions: Trump prioritized building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and implemented stricter immigration enforcement. He expanded the “Remain in Mexico” policy (Migrant Protection Protocols), which required asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while awaiting U.S. court hearings . • Travel Ban: The administration imposed travel restrictions on several Muslim-majority countries, citing national security concerns. This “travel ban” was revised multiple times and faced legal challenges but was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018 . 2. Tax Cuts and Economic Policies: • Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA): One of Trump’s hallmark achievements was the TCJA, which lowered corporate tax rates from 35% to 21% and provided tax cuts for individuals, with more significant benefits for higher-income earners. The policy aimed to stimulate economic growth by incentivizing investment and spending . • Deregulation: Trump emphasized reducing federal regulations, particularly those affecting businesses. The administration rolled back numerous environmental protections, including the Clean Power Plan, and eased regulations on industries such as oil, gas, and coal. His administration claimed to cut or simplify thousands of regulations that were viewed as burdensome for economic growth . 3. Healthcare: • Attempted Repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA): Although Trump was unsuccessful in repealing the ACA (Obamacare) entirely, his administration removed the individual mandate, which required Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty. This move was seen as undermining the ACA and was part of broader efforts to reduce government involvement in healthcare . 4. Judicial Appointments: • Conservative Judges: Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—shifting the Court to a 6-3 conservative majority. He also appointed hundreds of federal judges, transforming the judiciary with a focus on originalist and conservative interpretations of the law . 5. Foreign Policy: • “America First” Doctrine: Trump’s foreign policy emphasized prioritizing American interests. He withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal, arguing that these agreements were unfair to the U.S. He also renegotiated trade deals, notably the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), which replaced NAFTA . 6. Second Amendment and Gun Rights: • Trump supported gun rights and advocated for Second Amendment protections. While his administration enacted a bump-stock ban following the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, his stance generally aligned with pro-gun policies, including support from organizations like the NRA. 7. Religious Freedom and Social Policy: • Support for Religious Liberties: Trump’s administration promoted religious freedom policies, such as protections for religious institutions in areas like healthcare and education. He also worked to expand the rights of religious organizations to participate in public life without restriction . • Restrictions on Abortion Funding: The administration reinstated and expanded the “Mexico City Policy,” which prohibited U.S. funding to foreign NGOs that perform or promote abortion as a method of family planning. These policies reflected Trump’s commitment to traditional conservative principles and were widely supported by his right-wing base. -
