President Donald Trump and where he stands on tHe Economy, reproductive rights, immigration, foreign policy, and the state of democracy cnns Abby Phillip takes us through What The trump White House enacted during his four years in office and looks at what he and his allies have promised to continue or to change if elected to another Term Nafta has been a disaster for the United States, a complete and total disaster it was april 20, 173 months into Donald Trumps presidency. And he wanted to withdraw the United States from nafta. The north american free Trade Agreement he would say repeatedly in the Oval Office to E Everyone Whwho had was s s there ripping us off they take advantage of america, were suckers and losers. Its been very, very bad for our companies and for our workers he heard lots of concerns when he was out campaigning from bluecollalar supporteters thes food fight, nafta had taken jobs from America Trump wanted to announce their withdrawal on Hihis One 100th Daday in office hugE Freakout occurreded when this became known inside the White House and various advisersrs rushed over to stop this almost t all economomists think Ofof Trade to o varying degrees asas a pototential Waya Mamake B both sides s winners. S if you in Yoyour Countryry are reallyly great andnd making Cac Anand i, in my country, im Really G Great At Mamaking Aiairplanes then it wowould Mak Sense for me to make all the airplanes and you to make all the Cars Trump views, nafta as a deal in which the United States is getting ripped off by mexico and ripped off by canada What W would have e been the conseqequences if F Trump Holdl united s states out t of nafta s isnt, you know, one of the largest, if not the largest Trade Pact in the world . One of the things that i think people misread about Donaldld Trumpmp Ofteten has a loLot Of Thehe Ti these e big Statatements Likike are Nenegotiating G tactics. I e prime E Minister of cananada an The Presidident of Mexexico Fea that america will unilaterally pulled out of nafta it makes them much more willing to come to the Negotiating Table his suppororters will l say he is s lolooking for r leverage, but knknow, its a form of playing russian roulette with the worlrlds Ececonomic Sececurityt was the rereaction to that Plede Inside O of mexico i think t Th Mexicans Werere Concernened Abo that. Its been a u. N. Agreement that was iN Place for about 25, 30 Years Trade between the u. S. Canada and mexico was more than 1 1 Trillion year. And nafta had lifted tariffs between the three countries for more than two decades. A sudden withdrawal would upend global and domestic politics. And rattlE Financial Markets Trump actually had one of his top aides, rob porter, draft a Letter T to Geget Out of Nafta T hehe would Sigign Presumptively Paperwork was preparing inside the White House gary cohn, who was his Nationonal Econonomic Coununcil Directctor or Tookok Ofof Diffeferent stepsps, inclu Fafamously Hididing some papape some documents from trump that if he had signed them would have pulled the United States out of nafta right away. Well, i was going to terminate nafta as of two or three days from now . On his 98th Day in office. And after nearly two years of assailing nafta a lastminute late Night Phone Call with Mexicos President and canadas primE Minister convinced trump to stand down. Take called me and they said, rather than terminating nafta, could you please renegotiate that same week, desperate to announce a big wind during his first 100 Days Trump shifted Focus And Russia to releasese an Outline E of a Billll Thehey need a win. Andnd if Thereres Onone Thi that every republican, even under this administration can agree on. Its we need to cut taxes thE Tax cuts and jobs act passed that december giving trump his first major legislative victory. I consider this very much a bill for the middleclass. Had a bill for jobs the bill reduce the corporate Tax Rate from 35 to 21 , lowered incomE Taxes for individuals for the next eight years. And doubled the Child Tax Credit they made huge E Changeg to t thE Tax code. They hahad a real unifyfying theory, which ws if we cut taxes for corporations, we are going to unleash an investment. Boom in the United States that makes america competitive again. So we can bring back that simple, but beautiful phrase. Youve heard it befofore, made in the usa, they were sure there was going to be more Job Growth specifically in areas like manufacturing and they were sure That That was going to lead to big wage increases for americans the most important thing That ThE Tax cuts did for trump in his time in office was they gave people were money to spend right away and there was this shortterm stimulative effect to tHe Economy thats the big win for Trump Trump would score another economic win two years later. I promise to renegotiate nafta a and Today Y we have kek that promise. W what President T Trump was Concernened About was to make sure thahat the agreement was nt unfair a and was not basically penalizing american workers hE Does cut a new trade deal, but its not t a cocompletE Fundndamental overhaul. Its mostly the same thing with new branding and some new Components Branding has always been central to trumps strategy. If im given another four years, i will be the best. I think ill be the best nobodys ever created a economy like us and hes hoping itll win him a second term in the White House. When I Get to office, we are going to not chargE Taxes on tips not only is it a great slogan, but it just makes sense to be able to protect those people who make the bulk of their income comes from tips do you expecect him M Toto pursue E Tax cuts . . As policycy if he i is rereelected . That is one thing that he says that i think people should take him at his word on what does He E really w want to accomplilish policyywise, may other r than Tax Cuts . Lets talk about sweeping increases in tariffs. But i will oppose that across the Board Tariff Onon foreign mamade goods. Herere have beeeen Warningsgm Economisists that if you do tha and you pursue thesE Tax cuts, New York creating these settings for price spikes, which could then become inflationary he, his folks have insisted That That is not true. But whats true hasnt always been important to trump. As economic legacy as president is up for debate his description of how successful thE Tax cuts were they were not as good for tHe Economy as He Claiaims at t some p point, Doe Understandnd that . He e understs that he E Doesnt T Care . He lis the way what H He says Sounds Betterer Trump has always been very good salesman he was able to convince americans that he just had special powers when it economic growth that were N Not reflecteted in economimic Perfrformance Trumump is not T Bebest Americacan presidenent o lifetimeme. He had a a good economomy, but t thE Full scsco trumumps Economicic Managemene when you include the pandemic hes hes nowhere close. Bugle.

The Trump P Ececonomy was s The Greatest Ecoconomy in history. And its probably not the greatest economy in most americans living memory coming up Donald D Trump saidid, when was president , that he would sign a national Abortion Ban.

Com and max the supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at the age of 87 September 2020 we love you, minnesota. The news broke of justice ginsburgs passing Donald Trump was rallying crowds and d Northern Miminnesota Itit was the Surrea Momentnt where the Presisident The Unitited states is on stage and has no idea That This seismic event has just occurred she just died almost two hours later. Trump would find out only been out for thE First time she led an amazing light blue Jejea Baby is plplaying in t the background. Any kind of ticks on the solemn tone about her passing said hear that, but clearly, an almost instantaneously his aides inside the West Wing and republicans on Capitol Hill Work gearing up for What They knew woulD Be a fight to get a new supreme Court Justice nominated and confirmed a fight because ginsburgs passing was so consequential it seemed clear that chief justice John Roberts had openly expressed his belief that precedent bound to the court to move slowlwly, and that made it seem unlikely that roberts would vote to overturn roe, at least in the near term unlikely with the slim conservative majority on the court of five to four. But replacing ginsburg would give trump an Insurance Policy if one of the C Conservativive justices got colold feet aboboU Overturning roe you wouldnt need that person. A and other w words, you U Hx juststices, not t five. I believe it was maybe eight days aftfter her deaeatH He nomiminated Amy Y Coney Barrrree Fasttrackck that nominanation. H how importatant was it T T Trtrump to b be able to O Put ar Suprememe Court Jujustice on th Coururt Anand do it quickly. Yeah. It was of the utmost importance. It was something that he knew woulD Be part of his legacy and reshaping the Susupreme Coururt Wawas Trump involved in tHis Process. Much trump was definitely involved. He wanted tO Put a woman on the Supreme Court. I think he thought it would help hIm More in the Election Today it is my honor to nominate one of our nations most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court. Judge Amy Coney Barrett this grand announcement at the White House in the Rose Garden that was kind of the E Evevent Thatat we identified as wherever spreader, a super Spreader Event my Flashback Memory of their extreme joey, their Gigiddiness Alalmost in T Face of What They knew they woulD Be able to accomplish Ending Roe was a promise that Candidate Trump made during His President Ial Campaign in 2016. A promise to conservatives that if they got behind him, hed do something. No other president haD Been able to do. They am pro life and i will be appointing prolife judges this is everybody a significant contrast to the position Donald Trump took decades earlier im vevery prochohoice this is s a businessssman from N New York Wh is a Pretttty Progressssive Cit He has always been Morore Coconservativeve than a Lot T o people that he socialized with. But abortion was not one of those issues one of thE First things he did in 2011 when he was thinking about running thanks for President That cycle and he went to go speak to cpac, the conservative political action conference im prolife when he ran in 201616, He U Understood D that overturning roe v. Wade was a Core Conservative priority. So he agreed tO Put Thatat List of judges out befor tHe Election. Who were conservative. I am going to give a list of either five or ten judges that i willll pick toto show. You ma not trust me on this issue, but heres what i would do if i was president , i will guarantee That Those are going to be thE Fifirst judgeses that i puput u for nomomination. If i i win, That T tells me thatat. Yes, i c can trust you h my Vote E because on the issues that m Matter Mostst to me, i i tetell that Ththese Peoplele ar going to hopefully rule as we would want them to the President Elect of the United States i have america, Donald Trump conservatives did trust him with their vote in 2016. And trump gave them What They wanted today i, am keeping, another promise to the american people. By nominating judge Neil Gorsuch starting with Neil Gorsuch weeks after taking office then Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 and finishing off with Amy Coney Barrett just a week before Election Day we were looking in that moment at the E Cementnting of a Supuper Majojority O of Conservavative Juststices with H Grgreat Fear because wewe knew the popotenti would move very quickly to overturn Roe The S Supreme Couo has overtuturned Roe V V wadad here because im absolutely a Static Rowe has bebeen Overturud And D then theyre going to be babies, lives saved from tHis PresidenT Trumpps appopointmes to the court are probably his lasting legacy. Its going along outlived Donald Trump lets get along. I live his memory because a Lot Of the justices appointed judges arE Fairlyly young from a historica standpoint, and will obviously rank up there. Rank up there as one of trumps most consequential legacies a huge win for trump and his conservative basE For 54 years. They were trying to get roe v. Wade terminated. And i did it but the reversal of roe woulD Become a loss at the ballot box. Blunting tHe Expected Red Wave in the 2022 midterms, anD Being very unpopular with voters as trump approaches 2024 hE Doesnsnt knknow how to O Ta ababout it eveverybody doeoes. Tout i it does H He distancece himself from it . He seems to choose a mixture of both. My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint. The states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both. And whatever they decide must be the Law Of The Land in this case, the law of the state. Donald trump thinks that hes been given a sort of a neat Pasass Out of the D Debate saying, well, were Jusust Gg to send itit back to the states and thats going to solve everything essentially. So that im going to throw up my hands and i dont have to worry about this anymore but many believe the issue will be back on presidenT Trump its a gender in a second term, especially given his running mates past support of a national Abortion Ban, i certainly would Lilike Abortioi to be e Illelegal Nationonally Presidident has bebeen very cle he would N Not sign a a Nationa Abortionon Ban That T hE Does support t ivf. He dodoes Supupp Fefertility treatments and he supports tHe Exceptions for rape, incest, the life of the Mother D Donald trumump saidid, he was president , that he would sign a national Abortion Ban if congress passed one and sent It To his desk. I strongly supported the house of Representatives Pain capable bill, which would end painfuful Latete Term abortions s natitio. What hes done is try for political reasons, not to emphasize that in this 2024 campaign, but i dont think
