Student Opinion: President-Elect Trump Has Clear Plan for Future

By: Emily Stender, senior LHS journalism staff writer on November 11, 2024

Launch the media gallery 1 player

The 2024 election was a monumental day for our country and results will mark a drastic change in America’s future.  Donald J. Trump is soon to be the 47th President of the United States. Donald Trump has made history by becoming the second non-consecutive term president and the first president convicted of a felony. 

It was clear by the outcome of the election that more people around the country supported Donald Trump than the mainstream media predicted.  No matter which candidate you voted for, now that Trump has been elected, I predict a time for the return of Trump policies dealing with immigration, the economy, and foreign relations. Trump is going to work on making America more of an independent country by raising tariffs and aiming toward a stronger economy. 

President Trump plans on working to improve the United States and has outlined clear ways to do it, but he will probably have a large amount of criticism to manage during his presidency.  For starters, many non-Trump supporters believe he is not fit to be president because of his legal issues.  He may later pardon himself to get rid of these legal issues. This issue shows that the Democratic Party is facing tough questions about what they are going to do to approach the future. Trump’s opponents say he will further divide Americans, but Trump and his team believe his policies will unite America.  No matter what people believe, I think it is clear to everyone that it is time to unite Americans from all walks of life and all beliefs. 

Donald Trump's vision for his second term is to continue his “America first” agenda. This agenda consisted of building the economy, dealing with the immigration issues, reshaping education policies, increasing the military, and lessening tension with foreign countries. First, Trump plans on increasing manufacturing jobs in the U.S. and also plans on reducing dependency on foreign countries such as China. Next on his agenda is to increase border security and increase deportation. He plans on expanding the U.S.-Mexico border wall, and plans on trying to lessen illegal immigration. Continuing with his agenda, Trump plans to reshape the education system and policies. He wants to promote a “patriotic education” by limiting the discussion of race and gender in the classroom. Trump plans on instilling American values and traditions in students. The last part of his agenda is to increase the military and reduce foreign affairs. Trump plans on strengthening the military, while wanting to reduce American involvement in foreign conflicts. He wants to rebuild the NATO compact and other alliances to strengthen America’s presence in the world.

Overall, Trump plans to change many policies and reverse many practices of the last four years. And his supporters are ready for this change of American society. Many others may argue that these policies and changes are not going to be good for America, but Trump’s agenda shows he is ready to redefine America and he is ready to “Make America Great Again.”
