You can paint them as conservative protectionist policies with a little effort but do you really think that's what he wants, OR does he just have a list of complaints about the USA and some un-tested solutions? He wants to remove ObamaCare but has no idea what it will be replaced with. He believes climate change is not just not a man-made thing, not just an unimportant issue, but a Chinese Conspiracy when even if it is a non-issue it's certainly NOT the Chinese who came up with it

By happenstance and dumb luck he has some policies which sound plausible but they're as well-developed (or less so) than you'd come up with when setting the world to rights with some mates in the pub. "What you should do, right, is slash taxes and build a bloody great wall. And it's your round".

You can paint Marxist or Hitlerite policies as "good with a grain of salt" but the intent behind them was the issue and Trump doesn't put his ideas across well, but as ways to blame other people for America's problems.

He's into trade protectionism, lets see how far he gets. When George W. slapped tariffs on steel to protect 5000 jobs, after a year he repealed them because it was clear it was going to cost 10 times more jobs than it would have saved, as US exporters were faced with high steel costs and trade sanctions from all its trading partners.

Lets see how Mr Trump deals with this.

If he concentrates on building infrastructure rather than letting the economy to rely on banks selling worthless paper certificates then it will lift the economy out of the debt spiral.

Sounds like a socialist promise. Isn't that what they've voted against?

[Mordac]

He wants to put Hillary in jail. You can't really hate him for that, surely.

By "building infrastructure" do you mean a wall?

Borderline extrastructure, surely?
