Tougher crackdown on the death penalty
If Donald Trump has his way, drug dealers could face the death penalty in the future. At a campaign event in the US state of New Hampshire, he reaffirmed his stance with a comparison, according to The Hill:

Cities with flying cars
The entrepreneur told Politico about plans to build new cities, so-called Freedom Cities. However, these are not to be ordinary cities, but 'a quantum leap in the American standard of living'. For example, there are plans for there to be flying cars. Trump on this:
But today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way. If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable, how good it was, how great it was for our country.
Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration
It is also known that he wants to crack down on illegal immigrants. NBC News reported at the time that Trump had promised at a campaign event to reinstate a 'law of war' from 1798. Trumpat the time:
I’ll...invoke immediately the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members…the drug dealers, the cartel members from the United States, ending the scourge of illegal alien gang violence once and for all.
Trump is indeed known for speaking up about some pretty controversial opinions. He recently lost his chief spokesperson, so his team will currently be dealing with this change to his entourage.
