Would you have him support something he currently doesn’t? Stop supporting something? Introduce a new law or tax? Remove one? Act differently? I’m interested in what you would have him do or not do if you were a top advisor.

Just leaving this here, because this question was asked about three weeks ago. Hope that helps!
Look at the subs op is following there is no way they are not a bot
His rate of doge and rate of deportations was not well balanced. Needs to control unemployment better. He seems to be pivoting with this year's actions.
He really needs to accelerate deportations. Like, a plan for a 5x or a 10x. He's going to miss and the voters are clearly pissed about it.
Do you feel that he set himself up for failure by making target goals for deportations that most experts agree are not feasible based on how the average deportation process for one person takes?
Eh, he set himself up for failure by not expanding Ice faster, or using the military, or CBP... looks like he's going to start recruiting a bunch of soldiers next month, so that should help a lot.
They still reject 90% of applicants for Ice jobs, and training is like 18 months.
Do you believe his possible increase in military recruitment efforts will be for ICE or his Venezuela and Greenland plans?
Eh, I mean, you're right. But, we don't have enough troops anyway. And we especially don't have enough gear and equipment. We also spend too much on ineffective R&D.
Do you think the voters that are pissed he’s not deporting more people are more or less than the number who are pissed off about how he’s doing the deporting?
Do you think Trump could more efficiently deport people if the administration focused less on theatrics and social media posting? They seem at least as concerned about making a big show of deportations as they are about doing it effectively to me.
Not really, because half of the voters are also pissed that he executed a warrant that had a $50 million bounty placed by Biden on it.
So, about 40% of the voters are pissed at everything he does, 40% are happy they're getting something from him, and 20% are pissed only because he isn't deporting enough.
I mean, did you see the rest of the comments here?
And social media theatrics? idk, those don't really take deportation time up.
Why? Why does this matter to you so much? How does immigrants being here negatively impact you specifically ?
Edited: Reworded question
Because were a nation of fucking laws. Were a nation built on the rule of law, when you have a government (Biden) who refused to follow the tenants of law so blatantly and then had the media cover for them, you knew there was going to be blow back.
Why are they a negative? We don't need or want them here. We have enough unemployed and people who need help. We don't need foreign communities who refuse to assimilate into our nation scamming us, taking over apartment complexes and abusing the system. There is enough of that in our own nation that needs to be solved we don't need those who don't belong doing it.
Billions go to support illegals. Illegals are killing Americans. Illegals are running drugs. Illegals can then disappear if caught, suspected are wanted. Americans don't get that option.
They don't add to the economy, they send far more back to their home than they provide or pay in taxes, they fill our schools, and do so while they laugh at us for paying for them to do this.
They impact us all. Only the left/liberals are too fucking stupid to realize it because of their indoctrination.
Does it concern you that even the FBI and government websites would refute what you are saying such as “illegals” killing people? Research shows that U.S. citizens are more likely to commit crime than immigrants. Also, billions do not go to immigrants, immigrants add billions to social security and local economies.
Compete for jobs.
They should go home and build their own countries. Mexico, in particular, could be a great and proud country if it wasn't ran by a lethal combination of morons and criminals.
Do you think Trump should take over Mexico? How would you feel/react if he attempted that?
I think that defeating (airstriking) the cartels would empower the Mexican people to rise up and make their country great again. It couldn't get much worse.
The general consensus on the right seems to be that illegals are mostly uneducated, barely speak English, often lazy, and often dangerous. If these people are serious competition for jobs for Americans, does that say more about the Americans that are getting passed over for illegals or about the commpanies hiring them?
Illegals take adventurous jobs. I was beaten out for a job last year by an illegal. I even met him, and I know his name. lol.
Not a big deal, I'm still well off. But I wanted a hard labor job to build muscle, but I can't get one because I don't know Spanish and the illegals are better at construction that I am. They're also more willing to travel.
Are you saying you want a DEI program for white people because you suck at construction and the Mexicans you have to complete against for jobs are actually better than you at it?
No, I want Mexicans to not break the law and compete unfairly. I have the right to work, and choose my occupation. They do not have the right to work in the United States.
If you want to give them that right, have Congress pass a law.
How did you determine that the Mexicans you were competing against were illegals and just not better at the job than you? Sounds like you might just not be good at construction if you can't seem to find a job based on your lack of skills.
Because the guy who hired him told me he was.
Why wouldn't he just say that to make you feel better? Sounds like you have been unsuccessful in improving your construction skills, sounds like he didn't want to hurt your feelings?
Who do you blame more? Corporations that hire undocumented immigrants over citizens cuz they can pay them less, or immigrants?
How do you know he was illegal?
That doesn't stop them from taking jobs. That makes the service of the jobs they take worse, but still the company makes money and less pay to the illegal.
But that's no accident, that is the purpose of the commies flooding the country with them. The illegals had so many perks and gov help that they didn't even need a job, but they were made to take them
Might be nice if he instructed law enforcement to be even less tolerant of unlawful behavior.
The change I would make is deport every single illegal alien. He has yet to do that.
How quickly did you think that could happen?
Given Biden completely caused millions of illegal aliens to cross into our country, I am confident once we get through this Trump term, and then 8 years of JD Vance, we will be closer to zero illegals aliens than we are at today.
When we manage to successfully deport all of them what will be your next biggest priority?
The fight to keep a country secure from the invasion of illegal aliens never ends. The next battle is to finish building the wall.
So your *only* issue is immigration period? How did you come to center this one facet of American life in your perspective so much? Do you live somewhere with an unusually high number of recent immigrants?
I do not have an issue with legal immigration. My statement explicitly mentions illegal aliens.
Okay, same questions with the term illegal aliens. How did you come to center this of all problems so much in your life?
I never stated that to begin with.
I mean, you've made it very clear that the top priority for all of us should be getting all of the illegal immigrants out of this country, and that when they are out the top priority shifts to keeping them from getting back in. That is very much centering it as an issue in your life, no?
I can probably name five decisions off the top of my head that will impact us all a lot more than anything about illegal immigration ever would, so I'm just trying to understand how it has this level of importance to you. Is it personal? Is it purely political? Informed by a historical incident?
It's your central political issue, but it's not a central issue of your life? I don't understand, literally. Politics is exclusively about what we all think ought to be done about anything at all.
(Not the OP)
I don't think that immigration is the literal only issue that matters, but it is the most important because it determines the rest (since we live in a universal suffrage democracy).
Are you trying to say that it is the most important issue because you believe illegal immigrants are all able to vote? I am not sure I understand this term, universal suffrage democracy.
No, I'm just talking about immigration in general, not specifically illegal immigration. (Although birthright citizenship means that even illegal immigrants can produce future voters).
I wish he would stop saying awful things like he did about the Reiner murder. I also wish he would actually deport all the illegals.
Do you think saying awful things says anything about his character and how he might make decisions?
Yes
What is the worst thing you think he’s said so far?
What benefit do you see from getting illegals out?
Really hate his holiday rants.
What benefit don’t I see? We don’t know who they are, they are a drain on our medial system, typically are not educated, can be dangerous, don’t always speak our language, the list goes on.
Tarriff Chinese goods 9,000% instead of the noodle slaps we're doing.
We need to focus on redeveloping our own raw resources and industry again. These shit ass small potatoe tarriffs aren't doing that.
Also, push heavily in developing industrial engineer programs again, gotta incentivise the states to do that though since education isn't enumerated to the federal government.
Take his phone away, no more posting on Truth/X.
Could you elaborate on why you'd want that to happen?
More support of Ukraine.
Going to add another one. Stop attempting to take control of Greenland.
do you think the administration will actually act on any plan to try an take greenland? or do you think this is more akin to the Canada talk from earlier in the term?
Akin to the stupid Canada talk earlier. Though I am starting to get just a bit worried. WH announced today the Rubio plans to speak with Danish officials next week about it. I just don't see how this is worth it. Denmark has let us to what ever we want to in Greenland, either officially or unofficially. This was not going to change. There are rare earth minerals, but that is easy enough to secure with money and diplomacy.
The back and forth on the release of the Epstein docs benefits no one. Either get behind the full release, or fight it and state why. He's only given ammunition to his critics and conspiracy theorists.
Do you have any theories on why he keeps moving the goal post and the reports that FBI agents were directed to redact his name?
I have always believed Epstein is a CIA op. He compromises powerful people so the CIA can blackmail them into becoming intelligence assets. I've believed that since before his suicide. Revealing those names destroys their value to the CIA. I don't think Trump was aware of this when he originally committed to releasing all the Epstein files. Then he finds out what damage it will do to US intelligence, and he's kind of stuck.
Less adversarial towards China. Everyone likes cheaper goods and competition would improve markets, like those Chinese EVs
Im going to combine two into one: stop lying and stop putting people down unnecessarily.
He lied about what happened to the ICE agent in Minnesota, and he makes jabs at people on his posts when he’s “celebrating” something.
