Trump’s radical second-term agenda
November 21, 2023 - Donald Trump is planning to root out political foes, deport millions of migrants, slap tariffs on imports and scale back involvement in overseas wars if he returns to the White House in 2024.
In his bid to return to the Oval Office, former President Trump and his allies have promised a sweeping transformation of the federal government.
Trump’s allies are working on executive orders and studying the Constitution in anticipation of legal challenges.
Project 2025, a project run by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, has brought many of these groups together.
Trump’s plan includes asserting more White House control over the Justice Department, an institution the former president has said he would use to seek revenge on his critics, plus the FBI and Centers for Disease Control.
“I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,” Trump said in June after his arraignment in Florida. “I will totally obliterate the Deep State.”
One of Trump’s more extreme proposals is Agenda 47: Large-scale arrests of undocumented immigrants and detention in camps to await deportation. Trump also plans to end automatic citizenship for children born to immigrants in the U.S.
