Donald Trump has long been making headlines. From his appearance in the show Celebrity Apprentice, to his successes and failures in the business world, most Americans are familiar with the canidate. Now, Donald Trump is running for president. Although Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican Party, many people don’t actually know his stance on many of today’s issues.

Here is Donald Trump’s stance on some of today’s most pressing issues.

Budget: The government must cut spending more. He believes that Congress must reduce spending in order to address impending increases in the deficit.

Climate Change: It’s a hoax. Trump believes it is a concept created by the Chinese in order to suppress the U.S. economy.

Gun Control: He believes in limiting gun control. He would ban some assault weapons and extend the waiting period, but otherwise leave the current controls untouched.

Immigration: He believes that there should be no way for undocumented workers to become legal citizens. Also he would allow more European immigration and a legal status to those graduating from U.S. colleges.

Obamacare: He believes that we should repeal Obamacare and replace it with a universal health care plan that is similar to Canada’s.

Social Issues: Abortion should be limited, but not illegal. Also, marriage is between a man and a woman and should be defined state by state. This in turn would outlaw same sex marriage.

Taxes: Lower individual rates and get rid of corporate tax. Consider a one-time tax on the wealthy to pay down the debt.

If these views align with your own, he’s the candidate for you, but if not, there are many others with opposing views to choose from. The current front runners for the Democratic Party are Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O’Malley.
