Campaign program

His program revolves around 7 main points: economy, healthcare system, relations with China, veterans, gun control, immigration and the wall with Mexico. He advocates for a free market easy to access, ﬂexible and helpful for investments.

China must open its market as the United-States opened theirs to the Asian leader. There are many veterans that suffer from inappropriate care and from difﬁculties to go back to civilian life. He defends the 2nd amendment but wants a better psychological support for the most fragile people to prevent any incident.

His immigration policy is clear: a wall on the south border, stricter laws defending the interests of the Americans ﬁrst. His program is available here: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions

Controversies

There are many of them, some of them unavoidable for anyone working in the construction sector and in casinos. Donald Trump is believed to have links with the maﬁa, but it is hard to evaluate if it is just a coincidence or a true cooperation.

Beyond his project of building a wall on the Mexican border to prevent illegal immigration, Donald Trump and his organization are at the origin of real frauds and suspect situations.

DNA NOTE

As an example, the Trump University that had promised success to its students earned $40 million in exchange for few results. Donald Trump and other parties had been found guilty of not having paid illegal Polish workers and of having made them work in indecent conditions – a delicate fact when one knows his stance on illegal immigration.
