Harris (really Biden)

Executive Orders

Donald Trump and his administration completed 472 executive actions to strengthen the border (Migration Policy Institute)

Stopped border wall construction / Sued Texas for building walls / Flew 500K plus undocumented people into the country to bypass the southern border.

Awaiting Asylum Trial

abolish ICE, give mass amnesty for illegal migrants, Provide free healthcare for illegal migrants


The Economy


Subject

Trump

Harris (really Biden)

Inflation Growth

1.9% when Trump left office

20% inflation causing deep financial difficulties for citizens

Tax Plans

Trump gave tax cuts to everyone and plans more cuts in a new term. This has been shown to produce success for Americans and additional tax revenue for the budget.

Harris & Biden will not renew Trump tax cuts which will increase taxes for everyone. They want a $7 trillion budget with $5 trillion new taxes along with $80 billion for 87k new IRS agents.

Energy

Become energy independent again and drive down costs of everything.

Harris campaigned to ban fracking and mandate electric vehicles and require the use of energy carbon credits which will continue to increase all energy prices.

Global Conflicts

Harris (really Biden)

Foreign Relations


Trump prevented new conflicts and had excellent relationships with North Korea, Russia, and China.

Harris & Biden projected weakness and provoked Russia into war, blew up their deep water pipeline. Terrorists with support by China is expected to invade Taiwan for a 3rd war.

The Draft

Trump plans to negotiate peace. There will be no need for a draft.

Democrats have us on the brink of war and are not trying to negotiate peace. Chrissy Houlahan, Congress person for Chester County, wrote an amendment to include young women 18-26 to be included in the draft.

The Middle East

He created the Abraham Accords and established peace in the middle East.

Iran attacked Israel. Terrorists shoot at our ships in the Red Sea with no significant retaliation from US ships.

The U.S. Constitution


Subject

Trump

Harris (really Biden)

Which Candidate Puts Democracy at Risk


Trump supports the constitution and the rule of law. January 6th was not an insurrection – video proves it was all manipulated. People who attended a peaceful rally have been in illegal solitary confinement without due process for months and even years.

The FBI breaks down doors of grandmothers in the middle of the night to intimidate them and anyone who attended the January 6th rally. Soon $80 billion of IRS agents will be added and the Democrats want to stack the Supreme Court to a liberal bias.

Weaponizing Justice

The DOJ has worked with District Attorneys to go after Biden's (now Harris') political opponents, as is done in 3rd world banana republics.


Would they have done this if it wasn’t Trump – of course not. This is election interference. All of these flawed and prejudiced cases will be overturned in appeal.

Harris & Biden’s DOJ attorneys supported District Attorneys with Trump cases at the White House for 8 hours at a time. One high level DOJ attorney left his job, taking a demotion, to work for Alvin Bragg in NYC to help convict Trump in a case with no merit where the statute of limitation had expired. They elevated a simple misdemeanor to a federal felony.

2nd Amendment

Strong support for our right to own firearms and self-defense under the 2nd Amendment

Wants to restrict popular firearms and impose red flag laws that make it easy to take away guns with false accusations.

Supreme Court

Trump has no plan to reform the Supreme Court

Harris & Biden want to Reform the Supreme Court by adding term limits (although they do not exist for congress or the senate), and add additional judicial seats so one president can add many liberal judges and overpower the court and disregard the intent of the constitution.


Social Issues

Subject

Trump

Harris (really Biden)

Abortion

Trump is pro-life but supports abortion for cases of rape or incest. He is satisfied that the Supreme Court has moved abortion to the states. Abortion is not on the ballot.

Harris supports the choice to end pregnancy for any reason and is trying to gen-up the base to make abortion an emotional election issue. The Supreme Court already decided that it is a state issue. Abortion is not on the ballot.

Mandates

Trump did not and does not agree with mandates.

Harris agrees with mandates for vaccines that were not fully tested and unproven masks with Biden saying he was "running out of patience” which tore our nation apart.

Education

Trump said he will shut down the Department of Education which has done a terrible job. Test scores are down across the country. It has become a political influence in schools.

Harris will keep the Department of Education and continue the decline of our children’s education and teach political ideologies in our schools.

Sexualization in our Schools

Trump will cut off funding for schools that encourage gender confusion to our children.

Harris supports encouragement of transgender ideology for our children.

Men in Women's Sports

Trump will shut down biological men competing in women’s sports or for women’s scholarships.

Harris fully supports men competing in women sports and the Biden administration’s recent Title 9 change allows men to compete for women’s scholarships.
