Trump has campaigned on vastly expanding the authority of the executive branch over the federal government.[8] This would be accomplished through the imposition of the Jacksonian spoils system,[9][10] and directing the Department of Justice to go after domestic political enemies.[11] Other campaign issues include: implementing anti-immigrant policies and a massive deportation operation;[12] pursuing an isolationist "America First" foreign policy agenda;[13][14] repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act;[15][16] pursuing a climate change denial and anti-clean energy platform;[17][18][19] terminating the Department of Education;[18] implementing anti-LGBT policies;[20][21][18] and pursuing what has been described as a neomercantilist trade agenda.[22][23]
Beginning as early as Veterans Day in November 2023, Trump leaned into violent and authoritarian rhetoric throughout his campaign.[24][25][26][27] Trump has increasingly used dehumanizing and violent rhetoric against his political enemies.[24][28][29] His 2024 campaign has been noted for leaning into nativist[30] and anti-LGBT rhetoric.[31] The Trump campaign has been noted for its close connections to Project 2025,[32][11][27] which has been heavily criticized and described as an attempt for Trump to become a dictator and a path leading the United States towards autocracy, with several experts in law criticizing it for violating current constitutional laws that would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers.[33][34]
The campaign is unfolding as Trump faces the legal aftermath of four criminal indictments filed against him in 2023, as well as a civil investigation of the Trump Organization in New York. The campaign has continued to promote false claims that the former 2020 election was stolen,[35] and comes in the wake of Trump's unprecedented attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election[36][37] and its culmination in the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[38][39] which has been widely described as an attempted coup d'état[40][41] or self-coup.[42][43] Trump has publicly embraced[44] the January 6 attack and has promised to pardon those charged for their involvement in the attack.[45][46][47]
On May 30, 2024, Trump was convicted of all 34 felony counts for business fraud related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels in an attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election. He is the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime in American history.[48] After he won a landslide victory in the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses, Trump was generally described as being the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president,[49][50] with a process of consolidation then underway.[51] On July 13, 2024, Trump survived being shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks, injuring his upper right ear during an attempted assassination at a 2024 presidential campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.[52][53]
