Stopping criminal illegal immigrants (those who can't be vetted before coming in via Mexico), incentivising corporations to keep jobs in the US, keeping businesses in the US, recognising the current biggest threat to western civilisation (Islamic terrorism) so that it can be eradicated, and bypassing the MSM so that he can speak straight to the people who elected him.

It should result in the people of the US regaining trust in the establishment and a safer, more prosperous America.

I see the man doing nothing but good, and he is being crucified for it. Yes he's a blowhard, but let him do what he was voted in to do and then hold him to account if and when he fucks it up. The MSM are getting outraged over everything he says, when as far as I can tell the only thing he has really fucked up was the handling of the travel ban. Not that I could have done it better, but surely it could have been done better. 

I asked for how, not what his policies are in general terms. The devil is in the details. Like the jobs, how is he going to incentivise corporations to keep jobs in the US when most manufacturing jobs are being lost to advances in technology and automation?

Pretty sure no leaders needed Trump to figure that one out, at least in terms of human enemies. 

Ah but Trump was the only one with the balls to publicly say it. And he's right: you can't fight an enemy if you don't acknowledge its existence.

As for the policy details: We don't have enough information yet. He has proposed tarrifs to keep jobs in the US for products being largely sold back to the US. I'm not sure how effective this will be. But his  proposed deregulation should allow businesses to operate at a profit while still employing people in the US. It's only due to rising costs of labour that labour saving devices are acquired. Look at Indonesia and other third world countries: labour is cheap and so buildings are built using almost no machinery. It's almost all manual labour. Only highrise buildings necessitate the use of cranes etc in major cities like Jakarta. I'm not saying the US should try to be more like Indonesia, I'm just giving an example.

Basically businesses don't automate just for fun. They only replace labour when it becomes too expensive and deregulation is a great way to lower the cost of labour.
