Donald Trump is now the president-elect of the United States, and faces the daunting task of assembling a Cabinet, creating a White House staff for himself, and filling over 4,000 other politically appointed positions within the federal government. In many areas of governance, the Trump transition effort only began preparing detailed policy documents after the election. Speculation about many areas of policy has filled the media in the absence of any information about the direction in which the new administration will lead.
Much media discussion has focused on the president-elect’s proposed immigration policies, because they are one of the few areas where details are available. While campaigning, the president-elect did not talk about details in most policy areas, and even his campaign website contained detailed policies in only a few areas. Immigration was the area in which the campaign released the most detailed policy proposals. The only “policy address” of the Trump campaign was an Aug. 31 speech which listed 10 hardline anti-immigration talking points as policies.
