Trump on the issues

That's pretty much what I said above. He says what he would do but not how he'd do it, and he can't do anything on his own. And it's not just China that's a problem.

Lowering the corporate tax rate isn't specific? What would you consider specific?

I get the idea Trump is being held to a different standard than some other candidates.

Obviously almost all the proposals offered by Presidential candidates would have to go through Congress.

You and I know that but I don't think Trump does. He always talks about what he alone could do. Like the wall... he's gonna build a big wall on the Mexican border and get the Mexicans to pay for it. Huh?

Trump's a bloviating hater who apparently doesn't realize that if he becomes president, he will be president of those he hates in addition to those he approves of.

Look at Bernie Sanders, 'I hate Wall St, I hate big business etc.'

Bill Clinton for instance didn't get 50% of the vote each time he won but obviously had to be President of all people. Most candidates don't get above 55% of the vote so a President is always going to have a large number of people who didn't vote for them (and we're just talking about people who vote)
 
I like his corporate tax plan- that won't garner manufacturing jobs per se, but it will certainly bring investment capital home. I think Trumps scary side, is his inexperience in foreign relations as regards US policy. I don't think he'd be a saber rattler, but I do think he lacks the finesse to manage international relationships.

If you listened to him during the debates his weakness on foreign policy really came through and you make an excellent point on managing relationships.

How would he do it, by executive decree?

I don't know lol. How would Hillary or Bernie do half of what they propose?

With Mexico paying for the wall Trump plans on leveraging our trade deficit with them. They need us and we don't need them. Maybe it's politically impossible [maybe it isn't] but it's as 'specific' a policy initiative as proposed by most candidates in any election.
 
The appeal of a populist:

[T]he Republican real-estate mogul upped the ante with his usual lines about being a seasoned dealmaker.
“And then Obama gives a big party, a state dinner for the head of China, they probably don’t even talk about it,” he lamented.

“It’s going to be different, folks. It’s going to be different. We’re not going to have state dinners,” he said, before quickly qualifying. “I’ll have state dinners — when we break even I’ll have a state dinner, and when we start making money, I’ll have a double state dinner.”

It's so hard to imagine an actual Trump Presidency.

If he does get elected, I'll hope for the best, and certainly hope that he surprises me. But I have a feeling it would be a near constant source of embarassment for most Americans.
