ANALYSIS<\/strong> \u2013 Former President Donald Trump is thinking bigly. In his bid to return to the Oval Office, Trump and his allies have promised a sweeping transformation of the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while the left and their mass media puppets decry these plans as radical, they are mostly a much-needed corrective after four years of truly extreme and disastrous Biden policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he returns to the White House in 2024, Trump is planning to root\u00ad out polit\u00adical foes (dismantle the hyper political and leftist \u2018deep state\u2019), deport millions of illegal migrants who have invaded the U.S. under Joe Biden, slap tar\u00adiffs on imports and scal\u00ade back involvement in over\u00adseas wars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m hoping that the last pledge doesn’t mean misguided global retreats, but instead ‘recalibrating’ to force NATO allies to do more in Europe, while we focus on China, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though no longer talking about a \u2018wall,\u2019 Trump says he would “fully secure” the southern border, ending mass unskilled illegal immigration through Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s allies are also working on executive orders and studying the Constitution in anticipation of legal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CNN reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The goal is to have executive orders prepared \u2013 on everything from immigration to the removal of government protections for civil servants \u2013 for Trump to sign on day one of a potential second administration.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, \u2018Project 2025\u2019<\/a>, a significant effort run by the conservative Heritage Foundation, has brought many of these groups together to \u201cpave the way for an effective conservative administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s plan includes asserting more White House control over the Department of Justice (DOJ), which he says he would use to pursue his relentlessly weaponized persecutors, plus reigning in the increasingly politicized FBI and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The former president has also promised to issue pardons to “a large portion” of the nonviolent rioters jailed after the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol. Too many of them have received obscenely long sentences for minor, nonviolent crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he isn\u2019t giving Biden a pass. CNN noted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,\u201d Trump also said in June after his arraignment in Florida.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will totally obliterate the Deep State.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One of Trump\u2019s more sweeping, and welcome, proposals is \u2018Agenda 47\u2019: The large-scale arrest, detention, and mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Trump also plans to end automatic citizenship for children born to illegal migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Trump vows to\u00a0revive many of his effective first-term immigration policies to restrict both legal and illegal immigration \u2013 including reinstating and expanding a travel ban on predominantly-Muslim countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has also vowed to designate deadly Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and to impose the death penalty at the federal level on drug dealers and human traffickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s more. As Barrons reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Trump says he would also deploy the National Guard “to restore law and order” in liberal cities and would investigate “radical Marxist prosecutors” refusing to punish disorder.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has weighed in on most of the so-called “culture war” issues that polarize Americans, from abortion, transgender rights and gun control to the teaching of America’s racist history.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The candidate says he would crack down on doctors providing gender-affirming care to minors and “pink haired communists” pushing critical race theory or “inappropriate” political material in schools.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump would also create a new tax credit, he said, to reimburse teachers for concealed carry firearms and training…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While some of these plans do hold the potential for abuse, the current system is already being abused in an unprecedented manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To quote the Joker played by Jack Nicholson in the 1989 Batman movie: \u201cthis town needs an enema.\u201d And Trump may be the one providing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
