Some of the questions I would ask were incorporated in a previous post predicting the content of the debate. These were primarily about Gaza and Ukraine. Here are some other questions he should be asked?
- You have been candid about your desire for revenge against your opponents. Please tell the American people what individuals or groups of people will be the subjects of your revenge, and what form the revenge will take.
- Most observers, including members of your previous administration, think the Chinese refused to comply with the export deal you struck with them. Do you agree? If so, what would you do about it?
- Housing costs are a big problem in this country. Undocumented workers make up a large percentage of construction employees. How will deporting them and creating a massive labor shortage reduce the cost of housing?
- Do you intend to bring the Fed under the control of the executive branch?
- Historically, you have threatened to stop traffic at the Mexican border if the Mexican government doesn’t do everything you want on immigration. That would cause massive hardship on both sides of the border. Is that your plan again?
- The production of fentanyl is a decentralized business within Mexico. Do you seriously believe that starting a war with Mexico in order to disrupt gang activity is a good idea?
- On several occasions, the Biden Administration has tried to impose immigration regulations that looked like yours. These regulations were mostly blocked by the courts. If the judicial system issues orders prohibiting your plans to use the military to create massive deportation camps, will you obey those orders?
- It has been widely reported that you wanted to use the Insurrection Act to stop protests in cities in blue states. Do you intend to do that this time around, and will you extend it to removing blue state leaders from power by force?
- Property insurance rates are soaring all over the country as a result of increasing losses tied to climate change. You have previously taken the position that climate change is a Chinese hoax. How does that help the people dealing with these higher insurance costs?
- You have proposed large universal tariffs for the purpose of raising money and encouraging new American industries. This will result in significantly higher prices for consumer goods. Since the unemployment rate is also very low, it is unclear where the new industrial workers would come from. Where would the proceeds of the tariffs go, and how would you find workers for the new businesses without encouraging immigration?
- President Biden has entered into relationships with Australia, Japan, South Korea, and India in order to deter Chinese aggression in Asia. Would you continue these relationships, or reject them and go it alone?
- Social Security and Medicare are running deficits. Their trust funds will run out of money in the next decade, which would result in benefit cuts of about 20 percent. President Biden wants to raise taxes on the wealthy to fill in the gap. Would you consider raising taxes for that purpose?
