The Next Trump Presidency: Balancing Economic Growth with Risks to Social Stability
Donald Trump, as president-elect, intends to make significant policy changes, focusing on “America First” principles such as non-interventionism, trade protectionism, and reduced federal control. His policies include increasing mass deportations, decreasing corporate taxes, raising tariffs, and reversing diversity initiatives. In foreign policy, Trump intends to push for peace talks in Ukraine and the Middle East, but only with an isolationist strategy and a strong military presence. Domestically, he intends to eliminate the Department of Education, reduce regulatory red tape, and delegate federal authority to the executive branch. However, several of his proposals, such as changing Social Security taxes and healthcare, lack thorough justifications.
Editor’s Note: On the one hand, his promises to reduce corporate taxes, streamline regulations, and promote energy independence have the potential to boost economic growth and attract firms to save the US economy. The emphasis on “America First” may also appeal to people who believe the United States should limit its worldwide military interventions and prioritize domestic issues.
However, the disadvantages are severe and even harmful. His severe immigration policies, which include mass deportations and the abolition of birthright citizenship, have the potential to shatter families and communities while also facing significant legal obstacles. In education, eliminating the Department of Education and focusing on diversity programs risks jeopardizing progress toward inclusive, equitable learning environments. Furthermore, expanding presidential powers and weakening constraints on executive authority pose severe risks to democratic norms, potentially undermining faith in federal agencies.
While Trump’s non-interventionist position appeals to those tired of continuous conflicts, it leaves western allies unsure and has the potential to damage multilateral alliances such as NATO. Overall, while there are some benefits to prioritizing domestic economic growth, the risks to social cohesion, civil rights, and global stability make Trump’s plan divisive and laden with difficulties.

The Democrats through Biden has already accomplished their task of bringing in illegal immigrants in the U.S. that will protest, cause riots or even public chaos when the mass deportation will begin. Who knows if the illegals are part of the plan that will trigger the creation of a “police state” in the U.S.
