3. Immigration: we're closing the our borders and moving to skills based Immigration, not corporate led. Complete overhaul.
Which is something the Dems should chew on as they reposition their party away from Obama era. Back to practical working class issues.

They'll have every chance to win in 28 if Trump enacts tariffs he has promised. Inflation will skyrocket. I can't imagine a US assembled product being cost competitive with China or even Mexico. If he Tariffs to onshore jobs hoping that will offset rise in cost of living, good luck.

He caught a good wave by chance last time, I am betting this one won't be so foolproof.

I just hope the Dems learn properly from this, unlike last time in 2016.
