Trump has been taking some bold anti-establishment positions but how much is just rhetorical?
Trump comes out against FISA surveillance and only wants immigrants from "nice countries"

Trump denounced attempts by GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson, to renew FISA and FBI spying powers. However, Trump signed the reauthorization of FISA as president, which RFK Jr. has pointed out. Trump’s campaign team expressed plans to fight anti-White discrimination and at a recent fundraiser, Trump said that he only wanted immigrants from “nice countries” like Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland. However, I doubt this will have any bearing on Trump’s immigration policies. Not to mention that people from these nations don’t really have a strong desire to emigrate to the US.
So far a lot of Trump’s bold statements have been mostly rhetorical and often contradict his actual policies. My prediction is that a second Trump term will be more anti-establishment than his first, but also will have a lot of the same disappointments and standard conservative positions. For instance, tax cuts for corporations and the rich, and perhaps an increase in military spending but austerity on certain social programs. Trump also told billionaire donors that he’d cut their taxes. Trump’s main role is not to achieve good policy but rather to push the Overton Window.
We need Zero immigration, and none from the Third World.
Trump is mostly a windbag without any substance.
