With the only thing left to do is to approve it next week at the national convention, which will be held in Milwaukee, the United States Republican Party has given the final touches to its electoral program, which includes the transfer of the largest number of immigrants in the country’s history if his candidate, Donald Trump, wins the elections on November 5. Hot topics such as the right to abortion, one of the The main property of the Democrats, or equal marriage is hidden in the short program, which is intended to “return to common sense” through an aggressive legislative plan that aims to turn immigration down. , the economy and other issues, more peremptory than opinion, in the world of America.

Dedicated to the “forgotten men and women of America,” the document, adopted by the Platform Committee of the Republican National Committee (RNC), looks like any Trump campaign speech and offers 20 more promises as context rather than concepts. The first two points on the list are to, in capital letters, “close the border and stop the invasion of immigrants” and “do the largest immigration job in the history of the United States,” as the candidate has promised many times. in his rallies and even in his appearance before the press during the days of the criminal investigation for the caso Stormy Daniels. The tenth point of the agenda goes back to the issue of stopping immigration and equates immigration with organized crime: “Stop the migrant epidemic, stop foreign drug cartels, break gang violence, and thus become violent criminals.”

Trump’s campaign has reduced the party’s platform to a basic election manifesto of 20 words, which is unclear (point three, “end inflation and make America affordable again,” is as meaningless a word as the rest.) and that tracking priorities of your website campaign. To do this, he has devoted himself clearly to the debate, and more frightening – in theory – Project 2025, an ultra-conservative proposal made by independent tanks such as Heritage Heritage which is for many the backbone of the revolution The new conservative.

In an attempt to appeal to undecided and moderate voters, the program mentions abortion only once, in a statement about the party’s decision to defend “the question of life” that says: “We will oppose abortion for a long time,” that is that’s it. , at times close to 16 weeks of pregnancy. In the few instances he has talked about throughout the campaign, Trump has favored leaving the process of voluntary termination of pregnancy in the hands of states. The plan no longer refers to “traditional marriage” between one man and one woman, as the Republican platform defended in the 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

There are more culture wars in the document, compared to their presence in classrooms: for example, in the firm agreement to limit federal funding for schools that teach a that in critical psychology, “the idea of ​​the origin of gender and others. race, gender or political content is not appropriate for our children” (point 16), and keeping “men [trans] outside of women’s sports” (17).

The program raised all the inks in the question of the usual country, “America first”, of the Trump rallies. The defense that the former president and Republican candidate intends to impose if he is re-elected in November, including new taxes on many imports, is reflected in declarations such as “making the United States the world’s leading energy producer, and by far ! and “stop the exit [outsourcing] and make the United States the greatest power,” points four and five, immediately, in the plan. Trump’s special concern with electric cars – and the subsequent Chinese competition -, described indistinctly in many cases, also finds accommodation in point 15 of the document: “Cancel the order [de la actual Administración demócrata para impulsar la producción] of electric vehicles and cutting costly and heavy processes.”
