“At no time have voters had to deal with a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, than two agendas,” Trump is likely to say. “We’re reversed the damage Joe Biden has inflicted over the last 47 years over the last four years. At the Democratic convention, you have hardly heard a word about their agenda. But that’s not because they have none. It’s because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. “
The president is expected to crack down on China, immigration, crime and other issues.
