Trump Lays Out Agenda 47 In Iowa Dinner Speech
Former President Donald Trump spoke about his Agenda 47 policy vision during a Republican Party of Iowa dinner on Friday, giving a rapid-fire outline of his plans to revitalize the country in a second term in his limited time on stage.
As several other Republicans were slated to speak during the dinner as well, Trump had a short time to lay out his platform for his 2024 presidential campaign — but he still managed to fit a significant majority of his policy positions into a small window of time.
“Well, thank you very much. Great honor to be with you. And hello, Iowa. I’m here to deliver a very simple message. Iowa has never had a better friend in the White House and President Donald J. Trump,” he told supporters during the Friday speech in Des Moines, Iowa.
After listing many accomplishments from his first term and noting that he has dominated the polls in recent months against his GOP primary opponents, Trump then discussed various plans for his second term — vowing to “fight for Iowa like no one is going to fight.”
“I will obliterate the deep state,” he declared. “We will say no on 87,000 IRS agents who want to take your money and much worse than that.”
“They want to weaponize the IRS just like they’ve weaponized the Justice Department and the FBI,” Trump added. “And, by the way, if I weren’t running, I would have nobody coming after me, or if I was losing by a lot, I would have nobody coming after me.”
He then pivoted to discussing President Joe Biden’s border crisis, vowing to stop the “invasion.”
“I would immediately cancel every single open borders policy of the Biden administration and stop the invasion of criminals, in many cases, coming into our country,” Trump said. “I had the safest border in the history of our country, and we will do it again, and we’ll get it done very quickly.”
Trump also discussed the radical left’s attempts to indoctrinate children with critical race theory (CRT) and radical gender ideology in schools — vowing to “sign an executive order to cut federal funding for any school” pushing these “inappropriate” ideologies on day one of his second term.
“I will keep men out of women’s sports and you know nobody’s been tougher on that than me,” he added. “How ridiculous is that?”
He then stated that he would sign a law to completely ban gender “mutilation” surgeries for children “in all 50 states” — asking “can you believe we even have to say this?”
Trump also promised to “fully secure” American elections and to “defend the Judeo-Christian values of our nation’s founding.”
“I won Iowa twice by really a lot. We set records, and together we will crush Crooked Joe Biden, the most crooked president in the history of our country by far,” he added.
At the end of his speech, Trump walked off the stage to a standing ovation from the crowd.
