Trump lays out six big promises for a second-term agenda

Ending the pandemic, restoring critical supply lines, and launching a manufacturing renaissance are keys to four more years, president says.

It barely got covered amidst a tumultuous week of news, but President Trump has laid out a six-point agenda if he is elected to a second term that ranges from conquering the coronavirus to launching a critical-supply manufacturing renaissance in America.

The president's ambitious plan was delivered during a visit to a Whirlpool plant in Ohio last week but got overshadowed by such events as a tragic blast in Lebanon and contentious congressional hearings.

"I'm making our incredible workers six more promises that I will keep over the next four years," Trump told the Whirlpool crowd after laying out the accomplishments of his first term that included replacing the NAFTA trade deal with a new compact with Canada and Mexico.

Here are the six promises the president said will comprise his pro-worker agenda if he wins in November:

Defeat the coronavirus with vaccines and other treatment

"We are working very, very hard. We call it the China virus. …We are attacking the virus from every angle, and through this aggressive strategy we will win the war, and it will happen sooner than people think," he said. "We're developing a bounty of therapies such as remdesivir, dexamethasone, antibody treatments, the antibody treatments are really working out well, really well.

"And many more that have allowed us to reduce mortality by 85% since April. Under Operation Warp Speed, vaccines are already in the final stage of clinical trials, and we'll have a vaccine very soon, I hope long before the end of the year."

Trump also noted his administration has "dramatically increased our domestic production of personal protective equipment such as N95 respirators, gowns and gloves. We've got factories now all over the United States making these products, and we've developed the most advanced testing system on earth."

Reviving the economy from the pandemic slowdown

The president made clear he will make economic growth a top priority, revving jobs and manufacturing to the levels they were before the pandemic and going even further to build prosperity.

"We will rise from the current adversity of this horrible invisible enemy, and we will be more prosperous and resilient than ever before," he told the workers. "We have done things that we never knew we could do.

"We are building factories now. We are building plants. You'll see what's going to be happening with the job numbers very soon. We had two of the best months ever in the history of our country, and we are going to have many, many very, very successful years, unless somebody comes along and destroys it by doubling, tripling and quadrupling your taxes, and quadrupling something else called regulations."

Bolivia: Post-Coup Regime Offered Dialogue, No Agreement Reached, Nationwide Blockade To Continue

The post-coup interim regime held a dialogue on Sunday, trying to gain support for its attempt to delay national elections for the third time. No agreement was reached, and the nationwide mobilization of opposition groups and social movements is spreading and intensifying. At the same time as the regime was offering to dialogue, it also sent air force planes to fly over key blockade points in mock attack runs.

The head of the interim regime that usurped power in the aftermath of last November’s coup in Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, called for a “national political dialogue” among the mobilized sectors, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), the presidents of the Chambers of Deputies and Senators of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly and the presidential candidates to confirm the election date.

The meeting was scheduled for Sunday morning in the Government Palace. The interim regime, cornered by the mass mobilization which is supported by a of the majority of the people, is accusing the blockaders of not allowing ambulances to pass, something that has been disproven in multiple videos and photos. And what Añez has said is that the hospitals continue to lack essential supplies, due to the endemic corruption of senior political officials and the coup-appointed managers in the bureaucracy.

The Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the Central Obrera Boliviana, candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of all parties, and the presidents of the Chambers of Senators and Deputies were invited to the dialogue. Members of the Catholic Church were also invited as observers. LINK

As it turned out, the meeting was not attended by the representatives of the national Legislature, five major political parties (MAS, CC, Creemos, Libre 21 and FPV) and leaders of the social organizations (the Central Obrera Boliviana, COB, and the Pact of Unity) that are carrying out the mass mobilization against the postponement of the date of the elections from September 6 to October 18.

Representative of the Catholic Church, the United Nations, the European Union and representatives of two parties (the ADN and PAN-BOL) and the heavy transport sector attended the meeting.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Añez proposed the formation of a commission to explore a rapprochement with all social sectors. LINK

Luis Arce Catacora, the candidate for the presidency of the political party of ousted president Evo Morales, the Movement Toward Socialism (Movimiento Al Socialismo, MAS), Luis Arce Catacora, has warned that the de facto Defence Minister Fernando López is using lies to prepare the way for sending the police and the military to lift the blockade and end the mass mobilization by force.

The military has already deployed aircraft to fly over meeting points, a desperate move that will likely push the country into full scale social conflict and insurrection if the military and police do attack the protestors. The loyalty of the bulk of the ‘security forces’ will be crucial in tthe coming weeks. It is likely that the leadership of the interim regime has doubts that their orders will be followed if they order them to move against the protestors, or they would have already done so.

The loyalties of the rank and file of the ‘security forces’ will be crucial in the weeks ahead. It is likely that the leadership of the interim regime has doubts that their orders will be followed if they order the police or the military to move against the protestors in force, or they would have already done so.
