On Day 1, the previous leader reiterated his intentions.
If he were to win a second term in office, former president Donald Trump made it clear what his top goal may be.
The ex-president reiterated his commitment to halt the U.S.-Mexico borders in an essay published on Monday in the New York Post.
” Listen, I know exactly what to do. I’ll let you know the first thing I’m going to accomplish without a doubt. It’s range one on my head. And that’s quickly, immediately, I’m back in the White House. No looking. My top priority and utter first order of business will be to assist the people of America. That’s what I care about”, he said. ” Day 1, my Act 1 will be to close that borders”.
His next concern, he added to the information store, is to “get the prices down” in what appears to be a research to somewhat increased and thick inflation.
President Trump has frequently stated in people that he would work to close the border if he were to win reelection, and that Joe Biden’s leadership has failed to do so.
Last season, he joked in a Fox News town hall event that he would be a “dictator… for one moment” of his presidency. ” We’re closing the borders, and we’re drilling, drilling, digging. After that, I’m hardly a dictator,'” he said.
Trump plan officials claimed at the time that the former president was merely attempting to highlight the border’s flow of illegal immigrants and persistent inflation, two issues that President Biden had in mind as the upcoming 2024 general election.
According to polls, President Trump has a clear benefit over his father in terms of immigration problems because some potential voters are concerned about record-breaking improper border crossings. The former leader has taken note of some well-known instances of illegal immigrants being charged with crimes in recent weeks, including the murder of Georgian medical student Laken Riley, for which a Venezuelan regional is facing charges.
According to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in March, about two-thirds of Americans today disapprove of how the Biden administration is handling border protection, including about four in ten Democrats, 55 percent of black people, and 73 percent of Spanish people.
According to a recent Pew Research Center poll, 47 % of Americans described the situation as a crisis, while 32 % described it as a significant issue.
When he travels to Michigan and Wisconsin, two battleground states, the ex-president is scheduled to address on the subject this week. A spokesperson appeared to confirm his intentions.
” Under Crooked Joe Biden, EVERY state is now a border state. Because Joe Biden has brought the carnage, chaos, and killing from all over the world and dumped it straight into our own backyards, according to Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, who stated in a statement this week.” Every town is now a Border Town.
The former president announced last month that releasing those who were convicted of various crimes in connection with the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021 would be another early move he would make as president.
On the same day that House Republicans released a report that discovered a now-dissolved House subcommittee on the January 6 breach did n’t include key witness testimony and other details in its final report, he wrote on Truth Social:” My first acts as your next president will be to close the border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free the January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned.
About 500 people have been sentenced to prison or jail terms in connection to he breach, while prosecutors have obtained more than 950 convictions, according to the Department of Justice’s most recent tally. Over 1, 300 have been charged with a range of crimes.
