Reddit reviews The America We Deserve

Have you read "The America We Deserve"? He wrote it back in 2000

Eerily predicted the increase in terrorism as I recall.

> He holds no concrete policy convictions

This meme is based on a false premise. Last election, the self-proclaimed "true conservatives" of the GOP nominated a habitual flip-flopper who ran as a progressive in Massachusetts before pretending to be a conservative, was for a path to citizenship before he was against it, for gun control before he was against it, created Romneycare before bashing Obamacare, etc., etc. Consistency and principles only matter now because the neocons have been overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box by their own party, and they're lashing out at Trump.

It's easy and popular to claim that Trump has no real policy convictions, but it just isn't true. If you're actually concerned, read through the detailed policy papers on his website and the books that he's written about his political views. There's plenty of information out there about where he stands, you just have to do your own homework instead of expecting Trump to do it for you.

Has Trump changed his opinions before? Sure - for instance, he changed his mind about gun control when he got a gun and a license and saw why people like having them, and he changed his views on abortion when a personal friend decided at the last minute not to have one. But on his bread-and-butter issues, his message has been consistent for decades. You can go back 28 years and hear him saying the same things about trade that he's saying now. You can go back 16 years and read him saying the same things about illegal immigration and national security and foreign policy that he's saying now.

> What is a Trump voter actually voting for?

We're voting for national security, border security, trade deals that actually benefit us (not just our trade partners), and a prosperous economy that works. More importantly, we're voting against a phony strain of "conservatism" that capitulates on every issue, hates its own voters, and has been an embarrassment to our party and our country.

Trump wrote a book in 2000 when the Reform Party (1992/1996 Ross Perot's creation) tried to persuade him to be their nominee. https://www.amazon.com/America-We-Deserve-Donald-Trump/dp/1580631312

It is really great for people wanting to see what is in his head.

In Trump's book, The America We Deserve, he says the following:

> I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

That was in reference to this law.

>We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.

He was also for redistribution of wealth:

> I would impose a one-time, 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $ 10 million.

One more recommendation.

No what I'm saying is when you wander into an area where you aren't informed you're going to get criticized. Lebron can call the president racist and someone responding is racist? Come on now.

If a white athlete said Obama hated white people they'd be talking about it for a year straight. If Lebron actually debated Laura Ingraham he would be embarrassed beyond belief. She's went to an ivy league school and has a law degree. She worked for a Supreme court judge, was a speech writer for Reagan and was a lawyer. She had older black athletes on who have made the transition to politics after Lebron responded and they agreed with her.

And Trump's been involved with politics all his life. He ran as a Reform candidate in 2000. In the 80's he was taking politcal ads out against Reagan on foreign policy. He's written books on America: https://www.amazon.com/America-We-Deserve-Donald-Trump/dp/1580631312

A literal book he wrote in 2000 explaining his political beliefs. In this book he even talked about the risk of Osama Bin Laden and why America should be concerned about him.
