Donald Trump has pledged to implement several major policies that would affect the lives of millions of Americans—and people around the world—on “Day One” of his new presidency. Here are seven of his worst promises.
1. Trump promise: Create economic and social chaos with mass deportation
Trump has repeatedly said that on Day One of his presidency, he will begin the “largest deportation operation in American history.” He created a mess with his family separation policy during his first term, turning America into a target of global shame.
Pushing to deport millions of migrants, most of whom have been contributing members of American society for years—including paying taxes and generating economic growth—would lead to chaos as families are broken up.
Experts have warned that executing Trump’s vision would lead to massive losses in productivity and increased costs for working families. The policy would immediately remove millions of workers on farms and construction sites who are paying billions in state, local, and federal taxes.
