Secure the border

Deport illegal migrants

Reduce tax

Reduce inflation

Introduce Tariffs on cheap imports that hurt US manufacturing.

Roll back on Climate targets and policies that hurt US consumers

End the war in Ukraine

If you were ever paying attention, which you obviously weren’t, they were very clear.

He was and he did.

You, however, appear to be unable to cogently understand them

This is an accusation levied at Americans by ignorant Brits (yes that is directed at you ) that like to feel superior, which is unfair and wrong. They have a continent they can frolic across without the need of a passport. We don’t have that luxury.

It’s also a myth that the USA is a homogeneous country, it isn’t. Going to different states in the USA is like visiting 50 different countries.

We need a passport otherwise it’s Cornwall every summer, the options for Americans are vastly greater.

And they have no obligation to consider the world o/s of the US. (I’m not suggesting you’re implying they should)
