10 years after Trump's first speech, we're still fact-checking the same false claims - Poynter
Briefly

Ten years ago, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president from Trump Tower, asserting bold and controversial ideas on immigration, trade, and healthcare. His speech reset political norms, emphasizing insults and misleading claims that resonated more with voters than traditional policy discussions. Trump’s rhetoric has seen little change over the years, and his proposals, especially in immigration, have evolved into aggressive policies that increasingly impact non-criminal immigrants. The current administration has also taken various measures to limit legal immigration pathways, which continues to spark debates on citizenship and human rights.
Trump's entry initiated a new political era marked by brashness and falsehoods, reshaping the Republican landscape and affecting immigration policies across the nation.
The initial speech's key themes, particularly on immigration and trade, have transformed into rapid policy implementations that influence many non-criminal immigrants daily.
