Washington - It is election day in the
USA
and
Donald Trump is
fighting for his re-election.
In the forecasts, challenger
Joe Biden
is ahead of the
Republican
, but that doesn't mean anything.
Also in 2016, Trump's opponent,
Hillary Clinton
, was awarded higher chances of victory.
The rest is history.
Therefore, the
US President is
confident of victory this year as well: "I think we will have a great night," said
Trump
on election day in
Arlington
near
Washington
.
The question remains, what will he do if he
wins
the
US election
?
US Election 2020: What Trump Will Do If He Wins - Secret List With "Unacceptable And Extreme" Orders?
First of all, the polarizing
Republican
will probably not skimp on bragging about his electoral success.
Trump
would see a second term as confirmation of his policies.
As a legitimation for his actions.
“Make America Great Again.” Observers even fear that the 74-year-old will switch to an even more radical policy.
A possible second term of office would be characterized by the strategy of "fear and horror", quotes focus.de Miles Taylor.
The former chief of staff at the immigration service DHS is considered a harsh critic of Trump.
In posts published anonymously two years ago, he identified himself as “part of the resistance” and railed against the Republican.
In protest against the
president
, he stepped down in 2019.
US election 2020: Trump with an ominous secret list?
- "like a Bond villain number"
Taylor now wants to know about secret plans that
Trump will resort to
in the event of his re-election.
"He's got a list of executive orders in his drawer - this is no joke, it feels like a Bond villain number, but in a bureaucratic sense," explained Taylor.
This list includes orders "that would be unacceptable in a first term because they are so extreme that they knew they would lose voters.
But in a second term ... "
It is unclear whether this ominous list actually exists.
In the
US
, however, there are repeated reports that
Trump has
a number of executive orders up his sleeve.
It is not known what exactly should be written on it.
Because the
election campaign was
hardly marked by content, it is difficult to speak of a concrete election program.
+
Donald Trump was very present in the election campaign and appeared again and again in the important swing states.
In terms of content, the US President was rare.
There is a kind of election program for this on his website.

US election 2020: These election campaign goals of Donald Trump are well known
However, it can be assumed that
Trump
wants to
stick
to his “America First” ideas.
In August, the Republican published a series of campaign topics that he would like to implement under the motto “President Trump will fight for you”.
An overview.
Jobs
: Trump wants to create "ten million new jobs in ten months" and "a million new small businesses".
He also wants to cut taxes to "keep American jobs alive."
Covid-19
: Trump wants to "exterminate Corona." A vaccine should be available by the end of the year.
China
: "Our dependence on China must end," they say.
Increased tariffs and stricter regulations for Chinese companies are on the agenda.
In addition, Trump wants to "hold China accountable for the spread of the virus around the world."
Health care
: Trump calls for a move away from "Obama Care" and wants to change the health system.
What this should look like in practice is not described.
Education system
: Every child in the USA should be able to attend school.
Domestic policy
: Trump's main concern remains national security.
It is written in large letters that “we want to defend our police”.
Law and order continue to have priority.
In the election campaign, Trump repeatedly claimed that Biden would endanger this.
He also demands: "No more bureaucratic harassment of US citizens and small businesses by the government."
Foreign policy
: Defense is on the agenda here.
Among other things, Trump wants to "maintain and expand America's unmatched military strength" and "wipe out terrorists who threaten Americans with harm."
Immigration
: As in 2016, Trump continues to strive for a strict immigration policy.
Illegal immigration must end to protect American workers.
Trump also wants to drastically minimize financial aid for immigrants.
Innovations for the future
: Trump wants to "establish a permanent manned presence on the moon and send the first manned mission to Mars." He also wants to "build the largest infrastructure system in the world" and "win the race to 5G." He also said himself also for climate protection and would like to clean the oceans of the earth.
“Preserving American Values”
: This item on the program is shaped by conservative interests.
For example, there is talk of tightening abortion laws and maintaining the "Second Amendment".
The second amendment to the US Constitution includes the right to carry a firearm.
Overall,
Trump's
promises are not that
different
from the 2016 election campaign. However, it can be expected that the Republican will focus even more on the United States in the event of re-election and that the interests of his own country will continue to have top priority.
But for this to happen, Trump must first be elected.
