If I Were Trump
This is what I'd do. I'd dismantle the Department of Education. Then, I'd tear the building down and turn it into a park for kids, and perhaps include museums for math, science and history. I'd dismantle the EPA. A while back a high-level EPA official gave a talk near my office. He was full of crap. I'd institute a flat tax (and consider making Federal taxes voluntary). This would include doing away with giving people tax incentive to buy more house than they can afford (and other avenues of social engineering the code is currently used for). I'd secure the borders. No more people wandering in. I'd institute a nationwide right to CCW. I wouldn't let felons take part, but I'd have a simple, common-sense, background check. Did you beat your wife? If so, you're out of luck. I'd do whatever I could to encourage private and charter schools for kids. Poor kids would no longer be trapped in crappy ghetto schools by anybody other than their parents. I'd dismantle Obamacare. Then, I'd strive to simplify the interface between doctors and patients, allowing more freedom for citizens to choose their doctors, even encouraging a cash market for medical services. Take out the middle-man. My monthly premiums are about $2400/month yet my pediatrician gets about $40 of that. Time to fix that. Nobody can afford it. I'd make "campaign contributions" to Senators and Congressmen illegal. We'd call it bribery and it would result in mandatory jail time and removal from office. I'd remove tenure in public universities. Remove tenure or you get zero government dough. In the past day we've had a "political science prof" call for genocide. That's it. You're been on the feed farm for too long. Our young people deserve better. I'd do away with the Federal student loan program, too. It's resulting in educated people who are forced to work to pay off their debt to the Grand Poobah. And, it's helping to inflate the cost of college. Can't afford college? Work your way through. Yeah, it will take longer. It's worth it.
That's about it. Good luck P.E. Trump. As Ben Hogan once said..."We've handed you the family jewels. Don't F&%4 it up."

Then in addition to everything else, I would abolish the FAA, the NTSB, the FDA, OSHA, and a host of other agencies of that nature. I would invite Underwriters' Laboratories to expand to take over most of those functions (except I would have Aviation Radio, Incorporated, which used to handle air traffic control, step up and take that function back). I would do away with farm subsidies of all kinds. And in general: no more special privileges, no more special protections from your competitors.
+1 for any reference to Ben Hogan, who honed the most repeatable and biomechanically correct golf swing by a human ever.
Then privatize the park service. Eliminate the department of the interior, the dept of energy, at a host of others
Sick and tired of keeping up with crap and jumping through hoops for the IRS.
What an nonconstructive waste of time!
Of course, me dino is even more partial to no taxes at all.
Fat chance that as sure as death will ever happen.
No special deals for any special anybody. No loopholes, no special cash register tax deduction passes, no end of the year kickbacks, no nothin'!
So says a dictionary definition mystic who blows his nose at anyone using that word for a putdown around here.
And I took a cold to bed for a while this afternoon--so look the freak out!
Bama losing to Clemson last night still bugs me, though.
It is not at all about white, black or brown but it is all about shut up and pay attention. Teachers should be strictly monitored and directed to keep their personal political views out of the classroom.
The thing about the Rorschach blot is nothing's really there, just pareidolia in the mind of the viewer.
