What will happen after the trump presidency?

Donald Trump has promised that as president he will honour the pledge stitched into his
white and red baseball caps: Make America Great Again.

The former television entertainers campaign has been a roller coaster of triumphs and
pitfalls, but his love for hyperbole has never wavered.

With him in the White House, Mr Trump has said, his supporters are going to "win so big"
they will soon be "sick of winning".

It is customary in American presidential elections that a candidate sets out a vision for their
first term in the Oval office.

But ever keen to be the greatest, Mr Trump has slashed the timeline of his proposals from
100 days to one.

At an address delivered in historic Gettysburg last month, Mr Trump laid out a contract
with the American people that would begin with a very busy first day.

He proceeded to detail 24-hours designed to erase traces of Barack Obama's presidency and
set America on a protectionist, nativist, track.

Mr Trump's rhetoric on immigration came to define his presidential campaign.

Though slightly more carefully worded, his proposal once in office remains some of the
most divisive legislation on the issue.

He has quietly dropped his call to remove all undocumented immigrants from the US, a
move that, aside from being so impractical it might be impossible, experts have warned
would damage the US economy by taking too many people out of the labour market.

Instead he would immediately begin the process of deporting illegal immigrants with
criminal records.

Recent studies estimate there are fewer than 168,000 such people in the United States. But
Mr Trump put the number at some two million, suggesting his calculations of "criminals",
people who have had minor run-ins with the law, such as getting a speeding ticket.

He will also "suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely
occur".
Though the terminology is vague, Syria would almost certainly be on this list. Mr Trump
has claimed that the government "does not know" who the refugees it lets in are from the
country, despite their being scrutinised for up to two years before being allowed to enter the
US.

And last but not least there is the wall. This would not happen on his first day, he admits,
but eventually a Trump administration would push through legislation "build a wall" along
the southern border of the United States and make Mexico bear the costs.

He has not however, explained in detail how this would happen.

Donald Trump has promised to "drain the swamp" of big money Washington politics.

In one of his most popular campaign pitches, he has said he will "reduce the corrupting
influence of special interests".

Speaking in Gettysburg, at the site where in 1863 Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous
speech to unite Americans, Mr Trump sought to mimic the legendary leader, promising to
reinstate a government of, by and for the people.

His day one reforms include a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all
members of congress and a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials
becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.

In an effort to shrink the size of government the nominee called for a hiring freeze on all
federal employees to reduce its workforce through attrition (exempting military, public
safety, and public health).

A Trump presidency would break from the traditional Republican commitment to free
trade, imposing a set of protectionist policies to close America's economic borders.

He will immediately announce his intention to "renegotiate" the North American Free Trade
agreement with Canada and Mexico.

He would cancel participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a controversial trade

arrangement with 12 countries.

The pact aims to deepen economic ties between these nations, slashing tariffs and fostering
trade to boost growth. But critics argue that it will also also intensify competition between
countries' labour forces.

Donald Trump has said that as president he may not guarantee protection to fellow NATO
countries who come under attack.
In an interview just before the Republican convention Mr Trump said America would help
only if that country had fulfilled its "obligations" within the alliance.

It marked the first time in post-World War Two era that a candidate for president suggested
putting conditions on America's defense of its key allies.

Advocating an ultra "America first" view of the world Mr Trump has also threatened to
withdraw troops from Europe and Asia if those allies fail to pay more for American
protection.

Mr Trump has flip-flopped on key issues including Syria. Most recently the candidate
implied that he sees Bashar al-Assad, the country's dictator, as the lesser evil when
compared with US backed rebel opposition groups, some of whom have Islamist leanings.

He has promised to "bomb the hell" out of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

In a deeply disappointing development for environmentalists, Mr Trump plans to cancel

billions of dollars in payments to the United Nations climate change programs.

He has said he would redirect the funds to pay for infrastructure projects in the US.

He has also promised to lift restrictions on fracking and boost American oil and natural gas
production.

He would lift roadblocks to the Keystone Pipeline. Environmental activists fought hard to
convince the Obama administration to stop the infrastructure project, warning against the
effects of the increase in oil production.

Its path between Alberta, Canada and Nebraska in the United States was also said to
damage fragile ecosystems.

One of Mr Trump's first actions will be to try to erase the effects of Mr Obama's
presidency.

The Republican candidate has promised to cancel every "executive action, memorandum
and order issued by President Obama".

According to Stephen Moore, an official campaign adviser, the campaign has sought to
identify maybe twenty-five executive orders that their candidate could reverse: Trump
spends several hours signing papersand erases the Obama Presidency, he said.

Chief among them is the Affordable Care Act. Also known as Obamacare, the presidents
signature policy has brought health insurance to some 12.7 million people who would have
struggled to afford medical cover.
But it has also pushed up insurance premiums for Americans not on government assistance.

Mr Trump would replace this with another system, the Health Savings Accounts. This
plan would give more power to states over how to handle funds.

But beyond that critics have said that the Trump campaign has failed to explain how it
differs significantly from Mr Obamas healthcare plan, and how they would implement it.

Like with much of his presidential campaign, Mr Trump appears to be asking the American
people to trust him and wait and see.
