On Drugs: Melania's "Be Best": focus on well-being & opioid abuse

Trump said Be Best would have three main areas of focus: well-being, social media use and opioid abuse. "Let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong, and encourage them to Be Best in their individual paths in life," Trump said.

Saying she first learned about "the real consequences of our nation's opioid epidemic" during her husband's White House bid, Trump told the crowd she intends to "work with those who are fighting drug addiction."

President Trump was on-hand for the initiative's launch. As his wife looked on, Trump signed a "Be Best" proclamation, declaring Monday as "Be Best Day."

On Education: Cut the Department of Education way, way down

Here are some of Trump's views on education:
• Department of Education: "You could cut that way, way, way down." -- South Carolina Tea Party Convention, Myrtle Beach, January 2015
• Common Core curriculum standards: "I am totally against Common Core." -- South Carolina Tea Party Convention, Myrtle Beach, January 2015. "That's a disaster. That's bad. It should be local and all of that." -- Iowa Freedom Summit, Des Moines, Iowa, January 2015
• Infrastructure: "Fixing a country's infrastructure--our bridges, our schools, our airports--that, I can tell you, no one is close to Trump." -- Iowa Freedom Summit, Des Moines, Iowa, January 2015
• Local control: "Education has to be local." -- Announcement speech, New York City, June 16, 2015

On Education: Founded Trump University to teach the art of deal-making

On Principles & Values: Attended military academy & Wharton Business School

He said he "flirted briefly" with attending film school at the University of Southern California but decided that real estate was his calling. He spent two years at Fordham University in the Bronx before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and graduating in 1968. "Perhaps the most important thing I learned at Wharton was not to be overly impressed by academic credentials," he wrote in "The Art of the Deal."

On Free Trade: FactCheck: 60% tariffs would cause 5% inflation

While he has not yet committed to a single policy, the ex-president has typically proposed raising tariffs by 10%, or by 60% on goods imported from China, up from approximately 1% and 11% now, respectively.

Goldman Sachs economists projected prices on consumer goods would go up by 0.1% for every percentage increase in the effective tariff rate and raise inflation rates for one year, noting that in addition to the price of imported goods going up, it's also likely the price of domestic goods would increase, because U.S. manufacturers would "opportunistically" raise their prices to take advantage of having less competition in the marketplace.

On Jobs: FactCheck: Tariffs would result in reduction of 675,000 jobs

Economists broadly believe Trump's proposed tariff plan would hurt the U.S. economy, with an analysis by the nonpartisan think tank Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) concluding the proposal would "[inflict] significant collateral damage on the US economy," citing a range of factors including decreased consumer spending, increasing unemployment rates and worse economic growth.

Moody's projected Trump's tariff plan would result in a reduction of 675,000 U.S. jobs and increase the unemployment rate by 0.4%, with Moody's chief economist telling CNN, "If Trump increases tariffs as he has proposed, the economy would likely suffer a recession soon thereafter."
