The US economy shows good stats – low jobless numbers and 2.6% inflation (down from its peak two years ago) but that didnt stop voters from picking Donald Trump over Kamala Harris about ten days ago
In his first post-win moves‚ Trump picked strong-minded folks for his team: Stephen Miller as deputy chief-of-staff Tom Homan as border head and Kristi Noem to run homeland security; their main job – quick removal of non-legal migrants (which might need national guard help)
Trumpʼs words about immigrants show his plans clearly:
- Called Mexican people “rapists“
- Said Venezuela sends criminals to US
- Made false claims about Haitian migrants
- Talked bad about what he called “s-hole countries“
The new president-electʼs education ideas match his other views – his friends in Florida are taking books off shelves that talk about slaveryʼs past effects or non-traditional family types. His pick for defense chief‚ Pete Hegseth‚ wants to remove “woke“ military leaders; theres talk about making a special board to check officers loyalty
On world matters Trump plans big changes too: he wants to drop climate deals (even though Exxonʼs boss says its wrong)‚ put high taxes on stuff from other countries and drill for more oil. His whole plan looks back to times when America could do what it wanted without asking others – but in todays world with China getting stronger that might not work so good
