Add to the deficit (deferred taxes) and tout how he lowered taxes. It's the old bait and switch.

Until Democrats get serious about voting every election, we'll continue having cuckoo candidates in the opposition, i.e. when we're the voter they're trying to court every election, then we'll see more moderate reasonable candidates on both sides.

Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.

The idea that Trump is some sort of financial wizard is puzzling, at best. 4 bankruptcies, a rate-of-return on the eight-figure fortune he inherited that's significantly less than he'd have made if he'd just invested it all in a top mutual fund, etc...

He's a hack, politically and financially.
