Comparison chart
| Donald Trump | Hillary Clinton | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Political Party | Republican | Democratic |
| Position on Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) | Trump has lambasted all trade deals — including the TPP —saying they weren't negotiated well and the terms should have been made more favorable for the United States. | Clinton was more measured in her public response to the TPP. When she was Secretary of State, Clinton and her staff worked to finalize and pass the TPP trade agreement. | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position on Death Penalty | Supports the death penalty; and advocates mandatory death sentences for those who kill police officers. | Clinton supports the death penalty; believes it has a place in a very limited number of federal cases. | ||
| Position on Syria and ISIS (Daesh) | Prefer not to have boots on the ground; rather eliminate ISIS main funding; that is to destroy the oil extraction, refineries, etc. "Bomb the s**t out of them[ISIS controlled oil fields]" | Clinton supports a no-fly zone, as well as training Syrian rebels. She is for strong U.S. involvement in fighting ISIS, short of deploying boots on the ground. | ||
| Position on Iran | Trump has said he would reject the Iran nuclear deal and renegotiate it. | In favor of Iran agreement. As Secretary of State, laid the groundwork for sanctions on Iran and negotiations on the agreement. | ||
| Position on Afghanistan | Afghanistan War was necessary. Maintaining a presence there is necessary because of proximity to nuclear-armed Pakistan. Maintain troop strength to about 5,000 soldiers. | Clinton has said she'd be open to maintaining some troops in Afghanistan as necessary. | ||
| Position on TARP (2008 Wall Street bailout) | Trump supported the Wall Street bailout (TARP). "Nobody really knows what impact it's going to have. Maybe it works, and maybe it doesn't. But certainly it is worth a shot." | Clinton supported the TARP bailout of financial institutions on Wall Street. |
THAT CONCLUDES THE COMPARISON. Make an educated decision.
