On illegal immigration, Trump didn’t explain exactly how he would deport the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S., simply pointing to lớn his managerial skills.

Another voter pressed him on whether voters should simply believe that he will revive the economy based on his last name, or whether he has any specific plans to address economic challenges.

“I think they should,” Trump said of voters electing him based on his name, adding that he would renegotiate trade deals involving the U.S. And bring jobs back.

“But how?” the 21-year-old college student và entrepreneur asked again.

Trump didn’t get more specific beyond explaining that he plans khổng lồ lower taxes và renegotiate trade deals.

Instead, Trump stressed the importance of “flexibility in dealmaking” và said there was no need for multi-point plans.

“It doesn’t work that way because point two gets loused up và you have to go khổng lồ a different point two,” Trump said. “It doesn’t mean anything.”
