How to Understand Trump

You know as well as anyone that the Obama administration left our country in disarray. They saddled taxpayers with a disastrous healthcare plan, left our borders open and unprotected, and grew the size and scope of the federal government to unprecedented levels.

President Trump pledged to solve these problems with a simple four-word phrase: Make America Great Again. But solving those problems can’t be done in four words.

That’s why Trump turned to Heritage’s team of policy experts and researchers have provided the blueprints to fulfill his campaign promises: jump-starting the economy, reducing the size and spending of federal government, securing our borders, and repealing and replacing Obamacare.

And he knew that Heritage’s communications team at The Daily Signal has cut through the noise, fake news, and liberal media bias to provide millions of Americans with the truth every day about these conservative policy solutions. 

Heritage has been so influential that even the Guardian has taken notice from across the pond:

It is no secret on where the Trump administration is getting their ideas. They are running a systematic playbook put together by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative thinktank just steps from the United States Capitol and the halls of Congress, where they wield unparalleled influence. 

But there is much work to be done. In addition to waging war with the media and liberal lawmakers, President Trump has found himself in a pitched battle with Republican Establishment Congressmen who want to maintain the status quo.

In fact, in regards to conservative tax reform he told Heritage members: 

“We will lift our people from welfare to work, from dependence to independence, and from poverty to total beautiful prosperity. Which is why we need the help of The Heritage Foundation….to get our tax cuts through the House, through the Senate, and to my desk for signature.” 

And that is only one part of his conservative agenda. That’s why your support for the principled conservative solutions created by Heritage scholars matters right now.

You know that sound conservative policy is the best answer to our nation’s problems.

But the liberal left and the Washington Establishment have been blinded by fake news and a stubborn resolve to keep the status quo. This is unacceptable! They have to feel the heat—and that’s where Heritage Action for America comes in. Heritage Action’s lobbyists and grassroots activists put political pressure on legislators and lawmakers to get The Heritage Foundation’s policies across the finish line. Each and every day, Heritage Action is pressuring lawmakers to step it up and fix health care, stop amnesty, and pass welfare reform—or they’ll feel the heat at the polls. But we can’t do this without you.
