MAGA and Trump: What Are the Issues?

My initial list of key issues and themes in the new Trump-MAGA era. Please add other major issues/themes in the comments. State them neutrally, as my purpose here is to identify the topics and not to make arguments for or against.

1. Real estate: Donald Trump is a real-estate-guy-now-become-President and thinking expansion: Greenland, Canada

2. Tariffs: as an economic tool to help USA or targeted sectors relative to foreign economies, as a moral issue of fair trade, as a tool of politics to gain concessions on non-economic matters

3. Europe: less subsidy, more independence

4. Ukraine: less friendly, end the war

5. Russia: friendlier, end the war

6. Canada: less friendly to the currently ruling Liberal Party and/or less friendly in general

7. China: contain and/or weaken

8. Israel: more support

9. Immigrants: legal, illegal, mass migrant

10. Education: restore to the States and end federal-level, against one-sided/unbalanced hiring and curricula, against physically disruptive protest

11. DoGE: against waste, against fraud, against Deep State-entrenched-bureaucracy, against anti-MAGA ideologies, transparency of government

12. Executive branch: centralize, more power, less procedural, as emergency need vs. as longer-term strategy

13. Ideology: projection of strength/power/dynamism image, nationalism, Judeo-Christianity as a cultural unifier, anti-Woke-Left, normal Americans vs. elites

  1. Pragmatic: Treat every issue as a self-contained concrete. Eschew fundamental guiding principles.

  2. Judicial branch – what is due process for non- citizen deportations? Jurisdiction of federal circuit court judiciary?
