Yes, another Trump thread.
I wanted to get a discussion going to analyze Trump's policies, whether they be his proposed tariffs on foreign goods or his aversion to the H1B visa.
The Trump thread is awesome, but it moves so fast (ie has WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY) that it's become more like a chat room for the live feed that is Donald Trump's life. That's great, but sometimes I see legitimate questions and discussions buried simply because our collective energy level is over 9000.
Most of us know where to find Trump's official policy papers, but here they are anyway:
Healthcare Reform
US-China Trade Relations
VA Reforms
Tax Reforms
2nd Amendment Rights
Immigration Reforms
These are only his official policy papers, and don't mention things like his stance on H-1B visas (they suck) or our military (it needs to be rebuilt and made stronger through efficiency, not by making it bigger).
My personal reasons for starting this topic were that I'm tired of digging for information to explain Trump's positions in a thoughtful and credible way, rather than blowing out people with rhetoric and sarcasm. It feels great to say "tax the hell out of Chinese goods," but I want to tell them why we should tax Chinese goods.
And that's where I'll start: Trump wants to place high tariffs on foreign goods entering America, to reverse our free (for everyone but us) trade deals with most of the world. The major criticism I see is that raising tariffs would increase our cost of living in the short term, putting the screw to the middle and lower class.
But does Trump want to smash countries with a huge tariff all at once, or will he create a gradually increasing tariff that grows our economy enough to offset the immediate negative side effects?
I know there is already a thread here on trade and currency manipulation, so please chime in with whatever topics you'd like to see too.

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
