“Our country is a failing nation right now," Trump told supporters. "It's a laughingstock all over the world. Over the past four years, our country has seen the sickness and corruption of the Washington swamp exposed like never before."

First, he will end the weaponization of government and the abuse of law enforcement against political opponents. 

Second, bring back free speech in America.

Third, expel the warmongers and carry out a much-needed cleanup of the military-industrial complex. 

Fourth, curtail the power of federal bureaucrats. 

Fifth, drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America's youth; includes eliminating the federal Department of Education and sending control of schools back to the states. 

Sixth, will not tolerate equity policies that punish Americans based on race or gender.

Seventh, work with former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on corruption at the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other institutions that are dominated by corporate power and China.

Eighth, ask Congress to pass sweeping reforms preventing foreign influence-peddling.

Ninth, support modifying the 25th Amendment to make clear that if a vice president lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president of the United States, it is grounds for impeachment and removal from office.
