10. Redefine the definition of religion under the IRS to remove tax exempt statuses from megachurches, Scientology, Televangelists, any private school or university, anyone who "preaches hate currently or in the past five years" (yes, this part is designed to harm homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, etc. churches), etc.

Good to know that you want to call virtually every Evangelical church in this country (and their seminaries and universities) not a religious organization.  You're such a tolerant atheist.

If I were Trump I would award my most loyal supporters (on this forum)  with  a free 10 day trip to Russia, separate excursion to KGB headquarters  included.
If I were Clinton I would award my most loyal supporters with Blackberry smartphones, email features blocked.
If I were  President myself.... I would declare with my first executive order 10 day holidays to launch carnival festivities all over the country. And the next 9 orders would prolong the festivities.
