Four years after losing the election to Joe Biden and the attack on the Capitol, the tycoon is again aiming for the presidency of the United States against Kamala Harris, the current vice president, with the recipe for mass immigration deportations.
Eight years after he became President of the United States of America and four years after a resounding defeat, which he still does not acknowledge, Donald Trump intends to return to become president. In any case, this time it will be his last attempt.
If re-elected at age 78, he would become the second-oldest president. He is already the oldest candidate in American election history.
The former president, the first to be convicted, has maintained at all times that it is “a witch hunt” aimed at removing him from politics and has denounced what he describes as the “swamp” in Washington, referring to the power of those in power. various agencies and lobbies that he accuses of actually running the United States. Trump has threatened to sue election officials, donors, Google and others if he wins.
Trump claims his 2020 loss to Joe Biden It was election fraud. He has promised to pardon the supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The attacks were carried out as a rally was being held to certify the election results and led to a second impeachment trial of the tycoon, who was again acquitted, although his actions during that day remain the target of criminal proceedings.
The Republican candidate maintains the controversial style that led him to the presidency in 2016. He has been criticized, even within the Republican Party, for personally attacking his rival, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, citing her gender and skin color.
His campaign was also marked by two assassination attempts. The first wounded him slightly in the ear, with a shot while he was making a speech.
Trump has made immigration a major issue of his policy and campaign. has promised mass deportationsincluding legal Haitian migrants who are temporarily protected. It aims to end automatic nationality by birth, although this seems constitutionally impossible, and ban entry to people from different countries.
At a recent campaign rally, a comedian opening for Trump referred to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean.” The former president’s team stood out, but could not prevent the controversy from giving rise to racist comments against the Latin community.
The Republican candidate is in favor of leaving the Democratic Party right to abortion in the hands of the states, and brags about the Supreme Court decision that upheld Roe vs. Wade, who protected the right to abortion.
Trump’s economic policy will be based on this rate increase for certain products and countries. During his mandate, he already played a leading role in the tariff war with China, after the trade balance surprise. He has also announced tax cuts and reversed much of Biden’s climate policies.
The former president takes over as senator J.D. Vancea Navy veteran, as vice presidential candidate. Trump’s traveling companion is a defender of Project 2025, an ultra-conservative plan created by the Heritage Foundation to replace federal officials with loyalists in the event of Trump’s victory. However, the former president has distanced himself.
In international governance, Trump is sticking to what he already started during his mandate: changing the relationship with the US NATO to increase the contribution of its military partners. The former president has sharply criticized Biden for the war in Ukraineand assures that it will end when he is president. His presence in the White House is often linked to using diplomacy with Russia to stop the war.
Trump, who flouted UN resolutions and recognized Jerusalem, with part of the occupied territory, as the capital of Israel and moved the US embassy there, is now talking about Hamas ‘destroy’ and to be tougher on Iran.
He is also criticized within his party for his authoritarian tendencies. This criticism is reflected in the words of John Kelly, who was his general secretary in the White House, and who said that he meets “the common definition of a fascist,” despite the fact that the polls show a very tight race between him and Harris. of what he describes as ‘the most important day in the history of the country’.
