Trump is posting Position Papers on issues, so far, so:

1. Immigration
2. 2nd Amendment
3. Taxes

And I suspect more will follow.

He, also, mentioned to Mark Levin about downsizing the whole government.

All the other Yo-Yo's, both R & D just run their mouths, nothing in writing.

Trump is posting Position Papers on issues...

--with no specifics on how to eliminate the $680B deficit.  The reason he (yeah and all the candidates with him) won't say anything is because then they'd have to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Welfare--

2013 actual  (In billions of dollars)  
National defense 633,385
 
Nondefense:  
Agriculture 2
International affairs ................................ 633
Transportation ....................................... 1,441
Education, training, employment, and social services . 44,226
Health ............................................... 21,531
Medicare ............................................. 583,798
Income security ...................................... 430,653
Social security ...................................... 807,249
Veterans benefits and services ....................... 121,557
Administration of justice ............................ 671
 
Grants to State and local governments for individuals  378,217
All other grants  167,954
Net Interest 220,885
All other 135,188
Undistributed offsetting receipts -92,785
 
Total nondefense  2,821,220
 
Total outlays  3,454,605
 
 
Receipts 2,775,103
 
Deficit -679,502

--as cutting anything else wouldn't make enough of a dent.
