Donald Trump, the Republican candidate running for president, has run a campaign focused on strengthening the border, cracking down on illegal immigration, ending inflation, reducing outsourcing, manufacturing domestically, strengthening the military and cutting regulations.
Born on June 14, 1946, in New York City, Trump graduated in 1968 from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in economics. In his career, he took over his father’s real estate company, renaming it the Trump Organization. Additionally, Trump has authored many books and was the star of reality television show “The Apprentice.” After his career in business, Trump served as the 45th President of the United States.
Trump’s website and the official “2024 GOP Platform” list the following priorities:
- “SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION
- CARRY OUT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY
- END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN

Complete the Border Wall, shift massive portions of Federal Law Enforcement to Immigration Enforcement, and use advanced technology to monitor and secure the Border.
Deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our Region—boarding and inspecting ships to look for fentanyl and fentanyl precursors.
Make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Create a robust Manufacturing Industry in Near Earth Orbit, send American Astronauts back to the Moon, and onward to Mars.
Open limited portions of Federal Lands to allow for new home construction, promote homeownership through Tax Incentives and support for first-time buyers, and cut unnecessary Regulations that raise housing costs.
Terminating the Socialist Green New Deal.”
