It happened. Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States and it is important that the American people know where he stands on issues that will impact their lives. ProCon.org has spent the last year finding President-elect Donald Trump’s statements on 75 policy issues from death penalty (pro) and same-sex marriage (con) to fracking (pro) and oil company subsidies (con) to medical marijuana (pro) and closing Guantanamo (con). ProCon’s staff of professional researchers have scoured articles, speeches, interviews, transcripts to help Americans get a better understand of the mindset of Trump. Here is where Trump stands on 75 issues according to his own statements. If he changed his position on an issue, ProCon.org includes his most current statement along with his prior statement(s).
