Immigration first. I've written this dozens of times. If Trump were serious about ending immigration he'd fine every business millions of dollars for every illegal they hire and double the amount for second offenses. The so-called problem would end in one day. It won't happen because businesses and states need undocumented immigrants.

The free market is dead. Corporate farmers buy members of Congress who give them donations and they return the favor by giving them subsidies. It started out as a good idea, helping only family farms but soon corporate farms understood how easy it was to get money so they get most of it.

I don't favor giving businesses a tax break after they break our laws. This only entices them to hide the cash overseas again and again until the next tax cut.

Governments work with other governments and make deals. Recently Xi from China finished a trip to Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and India and made deals in every country. Since he was in Africa he made deals with three or four other countries and expanded Belt and Road. This is how leaders lead. They work with the other countries. What you want and what Trump does is childish. There's no need to be jerks when being civilized works a thousand times better.

Finally, we don't arrest political opponents simply because she said Trump is a puppet of Russia. A foreign adversary controls the man who voted for and you don't seem to give a damn.
