During his 2024 presidential campaign, President Trump’s proposed economic and trade policies largely mirror those from his 2017-2021 presidency, with a continued focus on his “America First” agenda.

His key priorities include strengthening the U.S. economy, decoupling from China, and rebuilding America’s industrial base.

Trump plans to encourage companies to keep production in the U.S. through tax incentives and penalties for offshoring jobs, aiming to prioritize American workers and businesses.

A central pillar of his economic strategy is achieving energy independence.

Trump pledges to expand domestic energy production, particularly in oil, gas, and coal industries, opposing green energy policies, which he views as harmful to both the traditional energy sector and the economy as a whole.

President Trump has proposed a series of tax policies aimed at boosting economic growth and benefiting everyday Americans.

His plan includes extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), allowing individuals to keep more of their paychecks by maintaining lower tax rates, a higher standard deduction, and the child tax credit.

Additionally, he plans to eliminate income taxes on overtime, which will benefit working people.

He also proposes eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits, easing the financial burden on retirees.

Trump’s tax plan focuses on reducing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%, which he believes will encourage companies to invest, expand, and stimulate economic growth.

He also supports repatriating foreign profits by lowering corporate tax rates, aiming to bring overseas profits back to the U.S., spurring domestic investment, creating jobs, and increasing tax revenue to help reduce the deficit.

Other key elements of his proposals include tax incentives for domestic production, reinstating state and local tax (SALT) deductions, and removing green energy tax credits to support traditional energy sectors.

His overall tax plan is designed to benefit both individuals and businesses, fostering job creation and investment.

A major part of Trump’s strategy involves regulatory rollbacks, which he believes will lower the cost of doing business.

He also proposes business investment incentives like restoring tax breaks, such as 100% deductions for capital investments (bonus depreciation), and more favorable tax treatment for research and development.

Additionally, his agenda prioritizes bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., investing in infrastructure, and training American workers for these roles.

Trump’s 2024 economic plan focuses on reducing government spending, cutting regulations, and creating jobs by fostering a business-friendly environment.

Although he hasn’t provided detailed spending cuts, he often emphasizes shrinking the size of the federal government and eliminating what he sees as wasteful or inefficient programs to help offset deficits.

Critics argue that President Trump’s proposed tax cuts will reduce government revenue, but he contends these losses would be offset by positive economic outcomes.

Trump plans to replace some income tax revenue with tariff revenue and encourages companies to return to the U.S., stimulating economic growth.

He believes corporate tax cuts and investment incentives will lead to an increase in hiring as well as increasing wages, which would generate more tax revenue over time and help reduce the deficit.

Trump argues that tax cuts, particularly for businesses, will spur economic growth by encouraging companies to invest, expand, and hire more workers. He expects that this increased economic activity will offset much of the lost revenue from the tax cuts.

Additionally, by reducing the corporate tax rate and restoring tax incentives for investments, he anticipates increased private investment, boosting productivity, capital formation, and long-term economic growth.

Trump’s proposed trade tariffs aim to achieve several goals: increasing government revenue, decoupling from China, and encouraging domestic industry growth.

He believes that tariffs will protect U.S. industries from foreign competition, particularly from China, while generating significant government revenue.

Additionally, these tariffs are designed to reduce trade deficits by encouraging domestic production and reducing reliance on foreign imports.

By making it more cost-effective for U.S. allies to invest in American factories rather than manufacturing overseas, Trump expects to boost domestic industry.

He also believes that trade protectionism will pressure trading partners to negotiate better deals for the U.S., strengthening the economy in the long term.

Trump’s 2024 campaign continues his commitment to decoupling from China, encouraging American businesses to move supply chains back to the U.S. or to friendly nations.

He highlights the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) as a successful example of renegotiating trade deals to prioritize American workers and industries.

His approach to trade also includes renegotiating existing trade deals he views as unfavorable, with a focus on bilateral agreements rather than multilateral ones like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), giving the U.S. more leverage in negotiations.

Trump has also suggested using tariffs on European goods to gain leverage in negotiations with the European Union, particularly in industries like automobiles and agriculture.

Overall, his trade policies reflect an “America First” vision, emphasizing the protection of U.S. industries, reducing the trade deficit, and reshaping global trade to favor the United States.

The Biden administration has been too soft on China, as well as on both U.S. allies and adversaries.

It will be refreshing to have a president who puts America first and fully embraces the idea of Make America Great Again.
