Trump vows 'quantum leap' in living standards, would create 'freedom cities'

Former President Donald Trump on Friday announced a plan for a prospective second term through which the U.S. would develop new cities and bolster living standards nationwide.

"Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living," he declared in a policy video.

"Almost one-third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal government," he said. "With just a fraction of that land... we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development."

"These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at homeownership, and in fact the American Dream."

He further called for the development of vertical takeoff and landing vehicles for families and individuals.

"These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families in our country in new ways," he said. "We will turn forgotten communities into hives of industry, producing the goods we will no longer import from China."

Trump also called for "baby bonuses" to bring about a new baby boom and a nationwide city beautification process.

"It is time to start talking about greatness for our country again," he concluded.
