Former President Trump's Second Term Agenda and the RNC: A Focus on Economy, Immigration, and Speakers Amidst Political Unrest

The Republican National Convention (RNC) is set to begin on Monday, July 15, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The four-day event will culminate in the formal nomination of the Republican Party's presidential ticket for the November 5 election. Former President Donald Trump is expected to announce his vice president nominee during the convention.

Over 50,000 people are anticipated to travel to Milwaukee for this significant political event. The RNC schedule includes several key events and speakers.

Former President Trump survived an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally before the convention. This incident has added an unexpected element to the proceedings, but organizers have stated that the program will continue as planned.

The economic agenda is a significant focus for Donald Trump during his campaign. His plans include sweeping tariffs, lower taxes, defeating inflation, and increasing oil, natural gas, and coal production. The Republican platform also promises to address illegal immigration with the largest deportation program in American history and scrap policies for electric vehicles and renewable energy.

Trump's record during his previous term is being used as a benchmark for what his second term would look like. Some argue for pragmatism, while others advocate for more radical policies. Some of Trump's proposals, such as banning taxes on tips paid to workers and cutting regulations, have bipartisan backing.

The RNC schedule includes several speakers and events designed to showcase the GOP's best case for Trump and a Republican majority in Congress. Key speakers include Marco Rubio, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, former Vice President Mike Pence, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.

The shooting incident at the Pennsylvania rally has raised concerns about political violence during the convention week.

    • Will speakers focus more of their energy on Biden at their headline event of the summer? Or will Harris be of much greater focus?

    • Deception (50%)
      The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The authors make statements that go beyond the facts presented in the article, such as 'it's unclear what effect the bloodshed will have on what had been expected to be a week of pomp and prime-time speeches designed to make the GOP’s best case for Trump and a Republican majority on Capitol Hill.' This statement is an opinion and goes beyond the facts presented in the article. The authors also selectively report information, such as 'Trump’s campaign leadership has also said, in a Sunday memo, that it will not tolerate violent rhetoric.' This statement is presented without any context or evidence to support it. Additionally, there are several instances of sensationalism and emotional manipulation throughout the article.
      • Trump, though, has already promised the show will go on – at the Fiserv Forum and Wisconsin Center District, Milwaukee’s convention center campus – and that he is ‘looking forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.’
      • It’s unclear what effect the bloodshed will have on what had been expected to be a week of pomp and prime-time speeches designed to make the GOP’s best case for Trump and a Republican majority on Capitol Hill.
      • For now, though, the ball is very much in the former president’s court.
      • The decision has been made, Trump recently said, ‘in my mind.’ But for just about everyone else, it remains a mystery.

    • Deception (30%)
      The article contains selective reporting and sensationalism. The author focuses on the economic plans of Donald Trump during the Republican National Convention without providing a balanced perspective. The author quotes several experts who criticize Trump's economic plans, but does not provide any counterarguments or perspectives from those who support Trump's plans. Additionally, the title of the article is sensational and does not accurately reflect the content of the article.
      • Democrats have argued that Trump would be more extreme in his second term, using his own remarks to say he would put independent federal agencies under his direct control and use the federal government to settle scores with his perceived enemies.
      • The former president says he wants tariffs on trade partners and no taxes on tips and would like to knock the corporate tax rate down a tick.
      • But tariffs might be more of a political winner than an economic strategy, according to a research paper earlier this year by the economists David Autor, Anne Beck, David Dorn and Gordon Hanson. The research found that the tariffs during Trump’s first term did not increase employment, but the tariffs did help Trump politically in the 2020 election in the industrial areas that lost jobs to China and other countries.
    • Fallacies (75%)
      The article contains several informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. The author states that 'Democrats and several leading economists say the math shows that Trump’s ideas would cause an explosive bout of inflation, wallop the middle class and heap another $5 trillion-plus onto the national debt.' This is a hasty generalization fallacy as it assumes that all Democrats and leading economists hold this view without providing evidence for it. The author also quotes Stephen Moore, an economist at the Heritage Foundation, who says 'You want to know what he’s going to do in his second term, look at what he did in his first term.' This is an appeal to past performance fallacy as it assumes that Trump's economic policies in his first term are a reliable indicator of what will happen in his second term. The article also contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric, such as 'This is going to be a huge disaster.'
