Complete halt to H1Bs
Refuse renewal of any existing H1Bs
EO against offshore - give DOL every tool in the box to punish companies that do it
DHS/ICE goes 100% after employers of illegals
Treasury imposes every regulatory tool it has on remittances
DOT suspends every CDL from states that give licenses to illegals (of any kind) - can be reinstated on an individual basis if driver supplies proof of citizenship

Propose student loan forgiveness for those with trade school debt (would IMMEDIATELY drive a wedge in the youth vote for the Left - would get blue collars back in the GOP column).

Budget should have a 5% across the board cut - real cut, not increase in spending.

1) Withdraw from Iran
2) No new wars
3) America First
4) American Consumer power - affordability + better job prospects + better earning potential
5) stop worrying about fringe BS
6) close the borders. No amnesty, limited ICE to removal of criminals (other than entering illegally). ICE collects criminals from jurisdictions and transports them to other countries and arrests violent criminals in Sting operations far from general public to limit bad PR
7) push Dims on fringe issues - their embrace of Islam, being more pro-China in their policies, blue city high crime, etc

1. Unwind the Byzantine trade war. Strengthen ties with friends. The opposite with China and Russia.

2. Commit to increased military spending and the continuation of the naval blockade while also signaling a desire for “free navigation.” Once that’s establish, get the heck out and focus on deterring China.

3. Focus on maintaining border security and deporting the “worst of the worst.” This is popular. Home Depot raids on gardeners are not.

4. Focus on deregulation. This can be done mostly without Congress.

5. Take credit loudly and often for securing the border and for the economic growth we are experiencing.

1. Rigged election 2.0, the people love a good sequel

2. Military intervention in Cuba, let’s go in and abduct Castro and get eyeballs off Iran for a weekend

3. More culture wars. We need to continue to spend our time talking about the WNBA, Trans issues, and the Indian problem. There’s more fruit on that tree

4. Continue to elevate Stephen Miller. His policies are bigly popular and speak to all Americans

Easy peasy

go scorched earth on food monopolies, private equity in every business imaginable, and ask companies to support remote work opportunities to reduce fuel demand. Start massive investigations into denial of care by insurance companies. Stop the H1B program in it's tracks. Shut down educational visas. Allow municipalities to decide if federal housing programs can be implemented in their borders. These are all popular things.

It's simple: keep your campaign promises, or clearly explain why you are deviating (e.g. Iran).

The absolute best thing Trump can actually do for the GOP is fire all the extremists and unqualified morons in the cabinet/on the White House staff (that's pretty much everyone), replace them with boring moderates as essentially interim caretakers, and quietly frick off for 2 years of golf and the occasional appearance in DC to sign a bill or engage in some other non-delegable Constitutional job obligation.

It's going to be great to see him double down on everything.

Trump needs to sit back, quit talking and go to the basement just like Biden. The Democrats will implode fighting amongst themselves if we let them.

Also focus on finding and fixing the fraud within programs.

I wish I could up vote your posts 100 times.Yeah that's what the GOP should do BUT it's going to be great entertainment to watch the sane members of the GOP fighting it out with the Trump Cult.

If I was Trump, I wouldn't do anything to rehab the Republican image. He did a lot of what we wanted, and most just bitched.

He took a bullet and was prosecuted for this country only to have most of the people who should be his supporters talk more negatively about him than the press.

If I was him, I would let all the idiot conservatives lie in the bed they made.

Get focused and execute. The reason I wanted DeSantis as Presidential nominee is that DeSantis is a relentless executor. Trump is easily distracted and does shite to “own” his enemies. If he spent as much time doing policy stuff as he did tweeting and renaming, we’d have been in much better shape for midterms


Room temp iq guy here, I actually agree with all of this. I also supported Desantis in the primary, I think voters would be open to a non sideshow candidate at this point. We’ve had enough gimmicks and embarrassments, can we just get someone that does their damn job. Best of all, he doesn’t have the stench of this admin on him.

Elect an entire Congress willing to get rid of lobbyist on Capitol Hill for the first bill they pass, then go back to how the entire three branch system of government is supposed to work...not this garbage Executive/Judicial fiasco with a really weak legislature

I would become the actual despot that many claim this admin to be. Benevolent yes, but despot nonetheless. You could call me Tito2.
This would give me the ability to end TPS and revoke that very same status from those who benefitted from it already. Ship them, along with all other illegals back home. I would force SAVE through. Ramp up DOGE and allow it to not only trace wastage, but fraud as well. I would kick all lobbyists out of DC and do a full investigation on "pay-for-play" across the board.

Most importantly, I would be killed by someone in the CIA somewhere around week 3.

excellent coalition building right there!

I would think that "being arrogant" would include calling anybody who opposes you "arrogant" and "beneath you".

Since you eliminated Trump supporter votes, the real question is who else is going to be in your coalition?

Thid board has gone parody, right?

Finish the Iran war.

War effort will almost certainly be defunded, but in terms of tying a ribbon on the geopolitical & global economic mess we’ve created there… that ship has probably sailed.

History tells us “alright well nevermind then” doesn’t tend to fly with people when you start dropping bombs & taking out leaders and are unable to convincingly sell people on your stated reason for doing so. Iran obviously still has some leverage.

Starting from opting out of JCPOA to now, it’s difficult to imagine a worse realistic outcome. And ironically once the dust settles, I would put the odds of Iran pursuing nuclear weapons at around 3x what they were before this started.

Just a total disaster.
