Candidate for President of the United States of America
Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, centered on his “Agenda 47,” emphasizes economic, immigration, and foreign policy reforms with an America-first approach. Economically, Trump proposes extending and expanding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), including maintaining lower individual income tax rates and reducing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%. He also aims to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits and end income tax on tips, promising significant tax relief for the middle class and seniors. Analysts estimate these tax proposals could raise the national deficit by $5.8 trillion over a decade
On immigration, Trump’s proposals include heightened restrictions, such as revoking work permits for immigrants in the U.S. illegally and barring them from federal benefits. He also aims to classify Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, using legal measures to increase deportations, particularly for individuals affiliated with gang activities PolitiFact
In foreign policy, Trump pledges to reduce U.S. dependency on China by increasing tariffs on Chinese goods, implementing restrictions on American companies investing in China, and reducing Chinese imports. Additionally, he calls for a “reciprocal tariff” system, which would impose tariffs on countries with similar barriers to U.S. goods Penn Wharton Budget Model
These initiatives underscore his promise to prioritize American economic independence, security, and assertive immigration reforms if elected in 2024.
