Upend trade and other economic policies

- Impose a “universal baseline tariff,” a new tax on most imported goods
You worry about inflation? This will drive up consumer prices big time. And we can all enjoy a new trade war.

- Slash rules imposed on business interests
Hobble the agencies that issue rules for corporations such as limits aimed at keeping the air and water clean and ensuring that food, drugs, cars and consumer products safe, but that can cut into business profits.

- Extend and expand tax cuts
Tax breaks for the rich, everyone else just suck it up. Deficit and debt? Republicans only care when they are not in power.
