So, I dug through Trump’s speech from the Waco airport and tried to sift out the actual issues and what he is actually proposing from the flotsam and jetsam of a long political speech.  Love it or hate it — I have tried to stick pretty close to his own words and to be fair in summarizing what I assume to be his “platform” for 2024. I tried to include as much about how he plans to do these things as I was able to deduce from the speech. – ABT
