Here's an In-Depth Analysis of Trump's Policy Proposals in His State of the Union Speech

President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Heritage responded to the president's executive order to reorganize the federal government by producing two comprehensive reports that include proposals for cross-cutting government reforms, like making federal compensation more competitive with the private sector and reducing red tape; and more than 100 individual proposals to cut waste, duplication, inefficiencies, and unnecessary federal functions.

One important component of the president's tax reform was the removal of state and local tax deductions.

President Trump rightly called for an end to chain migration and the diversity lottery in his State of the Union address.

In the 2018 State of the Union address, President Trump declared that our rival, Russia, challenges "Our interests, our economy, and our values." This could not be truer.

President Trump singled out Iran for special attention in his speech, saying: "When the people of Iran rose up against the crimes of their corrupt dictatorship, I did not stay silent. America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom."

President Trump previously had blasted the regime in a series of tweets that zeroed in on an important factor that sparked the protests: simmering resentment over the economic, financial, and human costs of Iran's aggressive foreign policy, which has diverted billions of dollars from Iran's domestic needs to pay for the regime's military interventions in Iraq and Syria, support for insurgents in Yemen and Afghanistan, and financing of a wide variety of terrorist groups.
