I've been seeing a lot of debate on the new GOP platform elsewhere, but there has been very little discussion of it here. Allegedly, the new platform was created almost entirely by the Trump-loyal parts of the RNC (Lara Trump, etc), with some claiming that it's essentially a Trump campaign ad more than a traditional party platform.

I have seen many complaints from cultural conservatives about two major differences from previous GOP platforms: the lack of a call for a nationwide abortion ban and the lack of an affirmation that marriage is between and man and a woman. Log Cabin Republicans, on the other hand, have praised the latter change. However, there has been much less discussion of the other parts of the platform, many of which I think are quite promising.
What do you think of the new platform?
There needs to be emphasis on removing contamination/poisoning in our daily lives: bans on GMO’s, chemtrails, chemicals in our water. There needs to be a ban on foreigners owning land and property, only citizens can own land. Laws need to be passed denying citizenship to anchor babies and non-citizens residing in the U.S. Anyone in the country illegally needs to be denied welfare in the form of housing, food stamps, health care and education. The expectation must be that they PAY for services. Huge penalties in fines and lengthy prison time must be demanded for any individual or entity aiding and abetting in unlawful entry into our country. Eliminate ANY and ALL mandatory vaccines unless and until it can be proved: a particular vaccine is safe and is effective at preventing a particular illness or disease.
Congress needs to: pass term limits for the House and Senate, ban any acceptance of money, gifts, bribes from lobbyists, eliminate taxpayer slush fund to pay for any misdeeds/illegal acts of Congress, eliminate the Cadillac health insurance plans and make it mandatory that Congress use Obamacare plans, as many citizens have been forced to use, ban any/all insider trading by family, members of Congress or by providing information to friends. Any infractions must result in removal from Congress and prevention of holding any political office ever again. Pass laws that anyone in local, state or federal government offices must be a U.S. citizen and not hold dual citizenship.
Limit length of time on public assistance to 1 year maximum, with 6 month duration at any instance. Work must be a requirement, with perhaps a subsidy to ease the way off public assistance. Help with obtaining a GED and job training as needed will be available. Tighten up foods available through EBT/food stamps eliminating sodas, sugar juices, unhealthy snacks (potato chips, candy, etc.), prepared foods.
Discourage abortion as a form of birth control. Societies that believe abortion is not murder are doomed to extinction. Instill the value of life in all levels of society. The fetus feels pain and abortion is a barbaric act. Include in our educational system age appropriate information regarding the physical and psychological impact of abortion on those involved, including the fetus.
In order to clean up and beautify the country we live in,place high financial penalties, as well as community service requirements upon individuals littering and destroying property.
