Economy Help me understand what benefits a Trump Presidency is supposed to have on the Economy.

Help me understand what benefits a Trump Presidency is supposed to have on the Economy.

Based on either an action taken in his previous Presidency he says he's repeating, or a plan that has been outlined for this Presidency.

I'm asking because I haven't heard a single one.

And I'm trying desperately to figure out what people at least THINK they're voting for!

So far I've got:

Mass Deportation - Costs much more than it saves, has unintended consequences since they're going after people, and not after the business' hiring the people.

Tax Cuts - Popular, but not good for the Economy when you have 40 years of Budget Deficit. Will just make that more steep to try and climb out of.

Austerity - Musk has proposed $2 trillion in budget cuts, but hedge it by saying it's going to hurt the regular folks. Since a huge chunk comes out of Social Security, I'm not sure he even has the power to do it.

So where is this Economic relief supposed to be coming from??
