Donald J. Trump shared a video outlining a proposal to eliminate probation and mandate long prison terms for individuals who steal from the American people.

Video transcript If you steal from the American people, you will go to prison for a long period of time. The more you steal, the longer you’ll stay in that prison. Probation is no longer an option for the fraudster. If you’re a convicted fraudster who gets caught stealing for the second time, your sentence will be doubled. If a state or local politician knows about fraud but does nothing about it, they could be personally liable. This will make fraudsters think hard before they keep stealing from the American people.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
