Replacing income tax with tarries will create hyperinflation. Trying to get rid of the Federal Reserve is dumb, the gold standard is dead.
School prayer is stupid.
Handing environmental policy to oil companies just screams that rivers might catch on fire.
The Chinese must be celebrating.
Lolbertarian MAGA morons will implode the USA. At least I can watch the shitshow from Canada.

Extremely r-slurred. I'm coping he won't actually do the tariff thing because it would be disastrous to the economy and the working class with zero benefits. Hopefully his corporate overlords don't allow this to happen. In one worst case scenario, they just put out a tariff scheme which big business can wriggle out of but small businesses are crushed by.
School prayer and the focus on trans issues points to his lack of a plan of how to reverse the trend of declining literacy and math in schools. Look at the dismal condition of education in red states like Texas and Oklahoma, and realize it's going to get worse. (The threats to pull funding from blue states are a little hollow imo, he would need Congress to approve that budget).
Student loan things sucks because it effects me personally. Coping he'll do some sort of loan forgiveness for Pell grant borrowers in a mad fit of populism.
He's probably going to appoint the most incompetent people to Cabinet positions and replace them every 2-6 months, just like the last presidency. Having the brain worms guy in charge of the FDA and USDA is going to cause some real damage. Then there are the smaller but incredibly vital scientific agencies like NOAA and USGS. Once again Trump is focused on the Woke Science boogeyman and applying it to targets that arguably make the best impact compared to their size and budget.
Military is a toss up if the hawks get his ear or the isolationists do.
I don't care too much either way about his immigration policy, but I believe he will struggle to keep his promises just as he did his last presidency. Policies like "remain in mexico" barely dented asylum claims.
The most radically good and unexpected thing only trump could do would be to raise the retirement age. Over a trillion dollars currently goes to retirement benefits and cutting this amount down is deepy unpopular with both Democrats and Republicans, since old people are the most reliable voters. Until that trillion gets shaved down, all other budgetary measures and national debt hand wringing are for show. We don't even need a drastic cut, just enough to make the program sustainable.

Removals actually fell under trump he gummed up immigration courts so much. Based on removals Trump was weaker on immigration than any president since Carter.

Imagine voting for DDR because you care about the economy but instead he seethes about gock, and then pulls out a tariff regime that will ruin you but because you're low IQ genetically ambiguous cattle your economic reasoning is worse only than your ability to resolve the breakfast question and you have no idea about the implications of what you just voted for nor do you remember hearing any actionable suggestions on resolving grocery inflation or housing prices.
I cannot fathomably even begin to conceive something more cucked than that. You could volunteer to be a nursing sow raising the progeny of every other man on the planet and it would not even begin to move the needle on the amount of cuckoldry you just willingly subjected yourself to.

Don't just look at the cabinet. The real damage comes from the officials beneath them.
The worst thing that Reagan did by far was appointing a lot of stupid and/or evil people to positions one or two rungs beneath cabinet level. This is where the neocons were able to break into the mainstream and be treated like they weren't tards. Look at the prominent neocons who were pushing for war with Iraq. They got their start with Reagan.
Also he can appoint judges, not just to the Supreme Court but to appeals courts and district courts. These people are in there for life. We've already seen how Aileen Cannon works for him. Judges who are corrupt and shameless can whatever they want. God knows what they'll be doing in the 2040s.

Education also sucks in blue states. The Republicans are just honest about it.
