1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.

--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

You canβt say criminals donβt deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
