President Donald Trump often offers ideas that once seem outlandish, then repeating them until they gain traction and begin sounding more mainstream. Some, like imposing tariffs and pardoning Capitol rioters, have become reality. Others, like 50-year mortgages and revenue checks from tariffs, remain in limbo. Trump also has suggested bonus checks for air traffic controllers and changing NFL kickoff rules, but those suggestions may be fading away. Proposals like enforcing the death penalty in Washington, D.C., and retaking Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan appear even less likely to come to fruition. Ideas like creating a U.S. sovereign wealth fund and naming a stadium after him are still being discussed.
