Michigan Central Station - Detroit, United States

If we divided the wealth of this one man and distributed it equally to all Amazon workers that would be  $200,000 each. 

If this man didn’t earn another penny and lived to be 100 he would need to spend 5 million dollars every day for the rest of his life in order to run out.  

If We Divided The Wealth Of This One Man And Distributed It Equally To All Americans, That Would Be $300

If we divided the wealth of this one man and distributed it equally to all Americans, that would be $300 each; enough for every man woman and child to have their own Nintendo switch.

Americas largest Police Union just published Trumps Action Plan for the first 100 days.

 Potential Actions Through Executive Order or Action

Pledged to rescind Executive Order 13688 which imposed limits on State and local law enforcement equipment programs throughout the Federal government.

Impose a restriction on some or all Federal aid and grant programs to “sanctuary cities”

Local and State governments who are “sanctuary cities” and those who may have granted documents (like drivers’ licenses or other photographic identifications) which have names and addresses of persons unlawfully present in the U.S. may purge these databases.

End the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and, using the Federal database to identify those in the U.S. unlawfully, initiate their deportation.

End access to the U.S. from “terrorist-prone” areas where there is little confidence in the ability of immigration officials to conduct full vettings.

End the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) at the Bureau of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), potentially restoring Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) or a re-prioritization of the Federal approach to immigration enforcement.

Expansion of the 287(g) program.

Could reverse the change in U.S.-Cuba relations, perhaps until such time as the copkillers harbored there are returned to the U.S.

De-prioritize implementation of some or all of the recommendations made by the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. (Note: most of those recommendations have to do with racial profiling and police brutality.)

Issue new directives to U.S. Attorneys to prioritize violent crimes and to seek the death penalty in Federal cases involving the murder of a law enforcement officer.

Reverse the position of the Federal government on the use private prisons.

Reverse the Executive Orders with respect to background checks for firearms purchases, authority of the Social Security Administration to provide information on the mental health of its beneficiaries, funding and directed research for “gun safety” technology.

Reverse or amend the broad, Bush-era ban on racial profiling by all or some Federal agencies.

Potential Legislative Initiatives

Legislation entitled the “End Illegal Immigration Act,” to establish a 2-year mandatory minimum Federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying.

Legislation entitled the “Restoring Community Safety Act” to establish a task force on violent crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist State and local law enforcement.

Legislation to repeal, and possibly replace, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) which may end the impending “Cadillac tax” that is slated to take effect in 2018.

This is a Direct Copy and paste from an official report published by Americas Largest Police Union.

So when you see things like, "Allow nationwide racial profiling." Or, "Suspend relations with Cuba until they deport all their cop killers." Or, "2 year prison sentence for trying to illegally enter the country."

That's not me summarizing what it says, that's an exact quote to what they openly admit they are going to do.
