Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, seems to be running a campaign devoid of substance. Her website? It’s a blank slate when it comes to policy proposals.
In stark contrast, Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, is laying out a clear and bold vision for the next four years. This isn’t just rhetoric—Trump has a track record of making progress during his presidency, and he’s back with 20 core promises that make Harris’s campaign look like a weak afterthought.
Trump’s latest move is to remind America what leadership looks like by focusing on real issues that affect everyday Americans. Harris, meanwhile, continues to pander to the far-left fringe of her party, pushing divisive identity politics while avoiding any meaningful discussion on how she plans to lead the country. It’s almost as if she’s hoping no one notices she has no real plan.
A Real Border Plan
One of Trump’s key promises is to seal the border and stop the migrant invasion. Remember when Harris was supposed to tackle the border crisis? Instead, she made it worse. Trump’s approach couldn’t be more different. He’s committed to carrying out the largest deportation operation in American history. This is not just about talking tough; it’s about restoring law and order to our immigration system.
Economic Stability and Growth
From Kitco News: Along with keeping the USD as the world’s reserve currency, Trump promises to:
- Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion.
- Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.
- End inflation and make America affordable again.
- Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far.
- Stop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower.
- Large tax cuts for workers, and no tax on tips.
These promises highlight Trump’s focus on economic stability and growth. He’s not just talking about it—he’s putting forward concrete plans to make it happen. Harris, on the other hand, is still busy figuring out what she stands for, if anything, and is actively stealing Trump’s plans such as “no tax on tips.” Good grief.
Defending American Freedoms
Trump’s commitment to defending our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms, is a stark contrast to Harris’s vague platitudes. While she’s content to ride the wave of identity politics, Trump is doubling down on the values that make America great.
Trump also promises to:
- Prevent World War Three, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country—all made in America.
- End the weaponization of government against the American people.
- Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders.
- Rebuild our cities, including Washington, D.C., making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.
- Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world.
These are the kinds of bold, visionary policies that remind us of what true leadership looks like. Harris, meanwhile, seems content to follow the crowd rather than lead it.
Protecting America’s Social Fabric
Trump’s plan to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate content on our children is a direct response to the left’s ongoing efforts to indoctrinate the next generation. Harris, meanwhile, has fully embraced these divisive ideologies, further alienating moderate voters who just want their kids to get a decent education without being subjected to political propaganda.
Trump is clear about where he stands on social issues as well. He promises to:
- Fight for and protect social security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age.
- Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations.
- Keep men out of women’s sports.
- Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.
- Secure our elections, including same-day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship.
- Unite our country by bringing to it new and record levels of success.
These promises highlight Trump’s dedication to protecting America’s social fabric. Harris, on the other hand, is still figuring out how to balance the demands of her party’s far-left base with the needs of the American people.
In response to these promises and other developments, conservative commentator Steve Deace had this to say about Trump’s moment in this 2024 race:
Yesterday was the best day Trump has had as a candidate since his bloody defiance to trying to JFK him back on July 13. The ad in the morning with the Gipper asking “are you better off than you were four years ago” was terrific. His 20 promises were on message and many of them… pic.twitter.com/IfEBzv2M2H

For the sake of our country’s future, I should hope that withstanding long interviews, laying out policy, and providing a hopeful vision of the future appeals to the American people. Trump should be doing more of this.
Securing America’s Future
Trump’s 20 core promises cover critical issues like border security, economic growth, and defending American freedoms. Meanwhile, Harris’s campaign remains vague and unconvincing, relying on identity politics rather than offering real solutions to the challenges we face.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump’s 20 core promises address the critical issues facing America today, from border security to economic growth.
- Harris’s campaign is largely devoid of substantive policy proposals, relying instead on identity politics.
- Trump’s vision for America is clear, bold, and focused on restoring the nation’s strength and unity.
