Donald Trump is against CBDCs

Donald Trump firmly opposes the idea of the Federal Reserve creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the United States and vows to "never allow" the creation of such currency if elected.

The largest tax and regulation cuts in history

Donald Trump: With your help, we carried out the largest tax and regulation cuts, by far, in American history. And they now want to quadruple tax us, and they want to quadruple, and beyond, the regulation cuts. And when we say "tax" and we say "regulation" and you say, Oh, tax cuts. That's so wonderful, - but the people in this room that are the heads of industry - you have some very powerful people in this room - they know that the regulation cuts may have been even more important than the biggest tax cuts we've ever had.
