Your Top Four “Trump will” statements are all based on nothing but fantasy. They also ignore Congress completely. WE HOPE he will do all of those things, but we have nothing on which to base the expectation that he will do so. Recall that Paul Ryan was a huge hero around here in 2009. George W Bush was our white knight in 2000. Both quickly ran to the middle once in office. Trump, as a populist, is even easier to predict to do so. The only difference is that Ryan and W were beholden to the GOPe, while Trump is beholden to nobody, giving us yet another strained hope that we won’t get stabbed for our efforts THIS time.

1. If Trump doesn’t at least try to do those things, his Presidency will be DOA - he will be viewed as a complete failure. That’s not why a 69-year-old billionaire, who could have done ANYTHING else, got into this race to do; it isn’t what he does, period - failure is not in his vocabulary.

2. First, any President can do a lot about immigration without Congress, because it is already part of the law. He can, for example, issue an order to prevent this country from legally admitting anyone from countries X, Y and Z-istan. He can order that illegals be prosecuted and expelled. He can order that employers of illegals be prosecuted and, if found guilty, fined.

On the other issues, the President LEADS, especially in his first year in office. If he proposes a budget including a larger amount for DoD than Obama, I’m betting that it’ll sail through with no problems - so, NO, it isn’t a fantasy. Ditto for unleashing our energy industry to created millions of jobs over time and reduce our balance of payments deficit, and ditto on cutting back the deficit.

You are so full of your own importance you can’t see the forest for the trees.
EVERY one of the Trump Will items listed are part and parcel of what Trump is all about. His lifelong devotion to the military, for example, belies your doubt that he will do anything about the decline in our Military.
YOU are a “DOUBTING THOMAS” in the extreme. YOU are obviously one of those people who can’t walk out the door without a guarantee that it will not rain. You want insurance on everything. Well, I have news for you. Life is a risk. Live with it!
