Trump Voters - What are your top 3 policy expectations of President Trump (1 Viewer)

He is certainly different. But people fail to realize that electing someone "different" can turn out really really badly.  People who think he might be different seem to only look at the upside of the risk of their vote and fail to consider the large downside in their decision to gamble our country's future away with their vote.

Yup. Obama and ACA prove that point

Soooo...

The Trump voters here were under the illusion that he's just some regular Republican?

Well I'd say about 80% of R votes come from the same "always R" voters and 80% of D votes come from the same "always D" voters, so it really isn't surprising. 

I guess I'll play

1. Keeping jobs in the US

2. Aggressively cutting government waste by eliminating unnecessary programs even if it makes him unpopular to lobbyists and/or general public

3. More conservative judges

I'd also like to see a war on the IRS, but not sure I trust Trump to be in charge redoing our entire federal tax system.

 
How could Trump supporter's top three be anything but:

1.  Build the wall

2.  Return jobs to US

3.  Repeal/replace Obamacare

These were the foundations of his platform that drew his supporters to him.  Those and "lock her up."  If Trump doesn't try to do these things I can't fathom how his supporters could be ok with it.

So, I think his platform contained:

A: Build the Wall, which has been proven to be a financial impossibility

2: Lock Her Up, which he has already reneged on because it was just something he said to get elected  

2: End Political Corruption, which he admits he no longer cares about because he won.

D: Drain the Swamp, which he admits he never really even wanted to say, but when people liked it he "started to say it like he actually meant it."

8: Repeal PPACA, except for the good parts, all of which are the things that cost money, with no concept on how to get them paid for. 

If I'm reading the tea leaves here, he has accomplished everything he wanted to do. Win the election. Nothing else has really mattered, and he already considers his presidency a success. Because he won.

Basically, yes.  But you forgot renegotiate trade deals.  And make sure coal miners have jobs.

Those are indeed two more promises that he won't keep. Because he doesn't need to now. I think the people who voted for him are generally ok with none of the things jb listed actually happening. Which, I admit, I don't really understand.

Not saying i voted trump but here are 3:

1.  Drain the swamp law:  government officials must wait 5 years after leaving office becore becoming a lobbyist. 

2. Major reform to drug costs. Bring generic drugs to market sooner.  

3. Major cuts to regulations to jump start new business growth in the midwest. 

My dad voted trump and said the reason was trump promised to lower the costs of medicine.

update?

Looks we are cutting regulations so we can pollute more so we have that going for us.

Looks like this was pretty accurate.
