What Trump is promising supporters he’d do in a second term

Former President Donald Trump is laying out an aggressive and ambitious policy agenda for a second term during his 2024 campaign rallies.

At a Donald Trump rally, it is often an off-the-cuff one-liner that ends up driving headlines.

In between, in speech after speech, the former president is laying out an aggressive and ambitious policy agenda for a second term — one that makes elements of his first term in the White House look mild in comparison.

Most of the agenda items aren’t brand new — on immigration and other issues, Trump is making a lot of the same promises he did during his 2016 campaign that never came to fruition due to a lack of congressional support or limitations on his executive authority. But there are some unique areas Trump is focused on now that telegraph a more hard-line approach if he returns to office.

Trump makes many consequential pronouncements suddenly, like his recent statement about letting Russia attack a NATO ally that wasn’t paying enough for defense. But here are some of the campaign promises Trump is repeating most often from the campaign trail.

Immigration was perhaps the biggest driving force, policywise, behind Trump’s 2016 campaign. Now, he has unofficially deemed it the top priority of his 2024 White House bid, speaking in depth about it during every campaign speech he has given.
