WILL DONALD TRUMP RISE TO THE CHALLENGE AND GIVE FULL CONSIDERATION TO THESE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC-POLICY IDEAS FOR HIS EXPECTED TENURE AS U.S. PRESIDENT?

(1) Should the incoming U.S. President ask Congress to approve a new law that increases the percentage of airtime from virtually all cable television channels in the United States that might be classified as "educational programming" that is "illuminating" and "thought-provoking" and "of significant educational benefit to viewers"?

(2) Will the incoming U.S. President, and Donald Trump reportedly fits that description, appoint a special committee to investigate various ways in which many of the American cities with fewer than 200,000 residents can establish energy-saving rail-based mass-transit systems that provide affordable public-transportation access throughout that entire city or town to residents of that municipality?

(3) Will the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump, appoint a special commission to investigate whether a widening of sidewalks and redesign of those widened sidewalks to make them orthopedicly comfortable for pedestrians, would promote increased safety for bicyclists and joggers and pedestrians and skate-boarders seeking to make use of and transport themselves on those those sidewalks in American cities and towns and villages?

(4) Will the incoming U.S. President agree on the need for a proposed new research institute, whether federally sponsored or privately sponsored, that explores how societal innovation that is healthy for and beneficial to this country can be promoted a lot more than at present?

(5) Will the incoming U.S. President offer a special award to American elective officials of the highest integrity who have each held a statewide office or elective office at the federal level for at least 10 years without having ever once been accused of or convicted of alleged corruption in elective office?

(6) Will the incoming U.S. President propose the establishment of a special new research institute or new advisory commission with the cited primary mission of attempting to develop ideas for reducing the federal budgetary deficit as soon as possible?

(6a) Will the incoming U.S. President, presumably Donald Trump, propose that Congress hire a computer expert to design a computer program that generates hundreds of factually based recommendations on how to reduce the federal budget deficit as soon as possible?

(7) Will the incoming U.S. President propose the establishment of a federally-imposed sales tax on any and all tattoo parlors operating anywhere in the United States, with all revenues earned from that special federal tax going exclusively to the United States Treasury?

(8) Will the incoming U.S. President insist on new building-code standards that are much stricter than the ones at present, and that help significantly increase energy-efficiency inside each and every new building constructed anywhere in the United States?

(9) Will the incoming U.S. President ask Congress to approve a new federal law that authorizes American citizens to claim a deduction on their federal income taxes if they attended a family reunion involving biological relatives of theirs or adopted or adoptive relatives of theirs at any time in the most recent applicable calendar year, with this proposed new income-tax deduction being designed to help defray transportation and lodging and dining expenses for persons attending family reunions--family reunions being societally beneficial through promotion of greater dialogue, including inter-generational dialogue, among brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, grandchildren, children, parents, and stepparents.

(10) Will the incoming U.S. President ask Congress to approve paid "family reunion attendance" leave of absence for any and all federal employees, with this proposed additional paid leave of absence being aimed at enhancing the emotional health and medical health of all federal employees.

(11) Will the incoming U.S. President, with Donald Trump presumably being that individual, recommend that each national nature park in the United States must offer at least one "nature appreciation" mini-class of one or two hours' duration, say, to persons visiting or camping in that nature park, with the intent being to help promote fuller appreciation for environmental protection among younger persons.

(12) Will the incoming U.S. President offer a special Presidential award to the honorably vigilant American citizen or citizens who made the most noteworthy 911 phone call or 911 calls in the most recent applicable calendar year that actually led to the arrest of one or more crime suspects on a felony charge?

(13) Will the incoming U.S. President preside over a special awards ceremony that honors 911 dispatchers throughout the United States who in the most recent calendar year especially distinguished themselves through alertness and excellence and diligence and accuracy and composure and helpfulness under pressure?

(14) Will the incoming U.S. President insist that the federal government sponsor an annually or semiannually updated total inventory of all natural resource reserves (coal reserves, for instance) that are currently known to exist in the United States?

(15) Will the incoming U.S. President assign higher priority to the United States's relationship with its two bordering countries of Canada and Mexico, with that higher priority being conveyed through the appointment of an "North Americas Liaison" federal official who maintains communications with Canadian and Mexican officials on a year-round and ongoing basis?

(16) Will the incoming U.S. President support the establishment of a proposed North American Continental University somewhere on this Continent that pursues and promotes greater research about each of the three North American nations and how their relationship to one another could be enhanced?
