Trump as president

My guess on how the average person would see themselves handling the problems presented to a new president and they might be projecting these solutions onto a person like Trump. The new President Trump tells Mexico that we purchase 900,000 barrels a day from you and we will begin paying you 10 dollars per barrel less and use that money to build a wall. When the wall is complete we will go back to paying full market value. We have enough oil to supply our needs without yours so feel free to ship yours to Europe or Asia. He tells China whenever you manipulate your currency we will add an import tax equal to the same amount. He tells his military experts to come up with a plan to destroy ISIS and he will back them recognizing that in the process innocent civilians will be harmed for that is part of war. He would tell government agencies like the EPA to set up rules that will promote economic development while protecting environment not the other way around. He would tell leading businessmen that when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar they will be going to prison and not some white collar country type but the real thing. He would tell the big banks that they must break up and work with government agencies to achieve that end. He would expand the energy sector by moving from coal to oil to natural gas, a process which is already underway. He would continue to research other methods like wind and solar but they would not receive preferential treatment. He would push for states to increase the minimum wage. He would push for a single payer national health plan sometimes called Medicare for all. He would eliminate the capital gains tax rate and lower payroll taxes. He would lower the corporate and individual tax brackets. He would install defensive rockets throughout the NATO countries that surround Russia and increase the military aid to these countries. He would withdraw from the United Nations and rent them space in New York if they wanted to stay. Note that many of these things are considered sacred cows to conservatives and liberals but a person like Trump is neither or both.A
