Donald Trump’s
Survey responses from the Tea Party Partiot’s Survey.
Donald John Trump Sr. (born June 14,
1946) is an American business magnate, investor, author, television
personality, and candidate for President of the United States in the 2016
presidential election. He is chairman and president of The Trump Organization
and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump’s career, branding
efforts, lifestyle, and outspoken manner helped make him a celebrity for years,
a status amplified by the success of his NBC reality show, The Apprentice.
Trump is a son of Fred Trump, a New
York City real estate developer. He was strongly influenced by his father in
choosing a career in real estate development.[Trump worked for his father’s
firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, and joined the company in 1968 upon graduation. In
1971, he was given control of the company, and renamed it “The Trump Organization”.
He is a major figure in U.S. real estate and a media celebrity.
Trump ran an exploratory campaign
for president in 2000 seeking the nomination of the Reform Party, and won
primaries in Michigan and California, but ended his effort before that party nominated
Pat Buchanan. On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president in
the 2016 election, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party. His early
campaigning drew intense media coverage and garnered high levels of popular
support.[11]
Since July 2015 he has consistently
been the front-runner in public opinion polls for the Republican Party
nomination. Trump’s anti-illegal-immigration politics are a defining contrast
with Republicans who have supported legal status for long-term illegal immigrants
via the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, and have earned him
support among working-class voters amid much controversy in the media.He also
received widespread notoriety for proposing a temporary ban on Muslim
immigration until better security precautions are implemented.
Survey Responses:
1. Term Limits for Congress
Will you use your position and
influence as President of the United States to compel Congress to pass and
ratify a Constitutional Amendment establishing term limits for Congress?
yes [ 4 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
Every effort must be made to reduce
the influence of special interests have on our federal government. Along with
seeking a Constitutional amendment to limit the terms of members of Congress,
we should seek a Constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Tax reform
would be the third reform necessary to greatly diminish the corrupting
influences of special interests on our government.
2. Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (ObamaCare)
Will you sign a bill that repeals in
its entirety the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act?
yes [ 5 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
Free market solutions will reduce
health care cost, will increase health insurance access and will greatly reduce
financial burdens on individuals and businesses. This will be one of my top
priorities.
3. Washington Exemption from
Obamacare
Will you sign an Executive Order
overturning the Office of Personnel Management ruling that allows Members of
Congress to receive illegal health insurance premium subsidies?
yes [ 4 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
4. The Penny Plan
Will you commit to presenting a
budget based on the Penny Plan, which calls for spending one penny less for
every dollar spent by the federal government in the previous year?
no [ 3 / 5 ]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
I will not support the Penny Plan
but will propose strict budget discipline. I will propose budgets that freeze
overall spending levels until such time as the budget comes into balance. This
approach eliminates the criticisms associated with constantly increasing
spending and allows the Executive branch to find the funds necessary within
existing resources to reshape spending priorities. Congress, knowing that I will
not sign a budget that increases spending until the budget is balance, will
work with the Executive branch and the American people to do what is best for
the country.
5. Common Core
Will you break the connection
between the allocation of federal education funds and the implementation of
Common Core standards?
yes [ 5 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
All control of K12 education should
be given to parents and teachers at the local level. The federal government
role in public education should be limited, at best.
6. The Tax Code
Will you commit to introducing and
working to enact a tax reform plan that makes the tax code simpler, flatter,
and fairer?
yes [ 5 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
My tax proposal has been graded as
the most pro-growth of all the tax plans offered by any other candidate. The
purpose of my tax reforms is to put more money in the pockets of middle class
Americans. My proposal goes to four brackets, eliminates the death tax,
eliminates carve outs for special interests and allows Americans to have more
economic security. The most significant feature of my tax reform plan is in the
corporate tax area. The plan reduces corporate taxes to 15% for ALL businesses,
allows repatriation of off-shore funds at a 10% rate and reduces carve outs for
special interests. This influx of capital will spur growth and encourage
foreign direct investment. The jobs created will clear our 9 million job backlog
and put us on a trajectory to unbridled economic growth.
7. Immigration
Will you implement the biometric
Entry/Exit Visa system mandated by law?
yes [ 5 / 5
]
1 = Not likely to make critical
issue.
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
5 = Very likely to make critical issue
Everyone knows my position on
immigration and the Rule of Law. The Departments of Justice and Homeland
Security will enforce the laws of this land. We have no government and no
country if we do not have the Rule of Law.
8. What will you do on Day 1 of your
presidency after being sworn into office?
Sign a repeal of Obamacare. Issue
orders to the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security to
begin the process of securing our borders and ports, identifying criminal
aliens. Issue an executive order that puts a freeze on regulation
implementation until all are reviewed. Stay EPA and IRS rule changes. Meet with
Congressional Leaders to outline expectations for legislation. Call Middle
East, European and Asian leaders to open dialogue on mutual cooperation. Meet with
staff to outline the work agenda for the first 100 days of the administration.
Hold first meeting with Joint Chiefs. Enjoy the inauguration galas and embrace
my family, thanking them for their work and sacrifice in the effort to win the
election and to serve the people of the United States.
9. National security is increasingly
becoming a priority issue to American voters. How will you make America a more
secure nation?
Secure our borders and ports. Begin
the process to build a wall on our southern border. Begin the process of
following through on returning illegal immigrants to their home countries. Find
the funding in the federal budget to begin to restore the integrity and
readiness of our military forces. Open the assault on radical Islamic terror operations
around the world.
10. Why do you want Tea Party
Patriots Citizens Fund supporters to endorse you?
My campaign represents everything
that the Tea Party stands for: a strong national defense, smaller
government and fiscal responsibility. Our efforts have been able to attract
voters of every stripe: Republicans, Democrats and independents. We have
expanded the people who are getting involved in politics. We have given voice
to those that felt they had no voice. We offer the opportunity to restore America
greatness by putting America and Americans first. No other campaign has been
able to show and expansion of the electorate. We have. Together, will Make
American Great Again.
11. Is there anything else you would
like to say to our supporters?
Thank you for this opportunity. It
is time the silent majority was silent no more. My campaign has given them
voice, and we will be heard on election day.
