The people who need to read this won't see it. It might be a parody, but it is a real possibility.

excellent work.

Have to admit though, I was almost giddy just thinking about a couple of Alexander's edicts - investigating Trump's eldest children for illegal activity and stripping Fox News of its broadcast rights.

I think it’s time for Rump to sign an executive order allowing Presidents to serve a third term. Then we can gleefully watch him lose in a landslide to Barack Obama.

He doesn't need to since it has been speculated since 2019 that there could be a loophole which would allow Obama to challenge him and win: unfortunately I think in early 2028 there will be a Second Constitution giving presidents six year terms, and in late 2025 Trump will sue the United Nations over the 2020 defeat, and Putin, Xi, Maduro, Cuba, and their allies will give him a another term (these countries will be backed by the Socialist International, and given that Georgia is the troll farm capital of the world, Georgia). Thus there will not be an election until 2036, by which time Trump will have turned the United States into an Orwellian democracy (imagine if Big Brother was elected). Trump will postpone the 2036 election in order to get rid of migrants, and a few months later he will be ousted by Mike Cernovich in a recall election (due to Trump implementing recall elections in the Second Constitution on behalf of the Bernie Bros and hard greens, and to get rid of his opponents). However, there will still be no election (since Mike Cernovich agrees with Trump) and there will not be one when Cernovich is ousted by Richard Spencer and when Richard Spencer is ousted by Nick Fuentes.

The only goods news is that Fuentes will lose the 2041 election to the Democrats: however because the Democrats will have rehabilitated the Stupublicans, Ivanka will be the Democratic leader.

Imaginative, clever and chilling parallels in a universe I hope we won't spin into.

National Journal shout is a nice personal throwback, as is the "boatloads of spaghetti against the wall" echo of flooding the zone.

Excellent points. We should all be careful what we wish for. Let's please get back to normal and Constitutional.

"Normal" has not existed since Abraham Lincoln, who began the imperial presidency, and beforehand the U.S had "imperial states' rights" with the greater South using state militias to catch slaves and to police. The U.S was always like this, it just replaced the British Big Government with "Big States" (i.e. bigoted states' rights which had the power which Big Government had) when independence was achieved, and Abraham Lincoln replaced Big States with Big Government again.

Sure would be nice if Trump and the MAGA Menace acted like they cared about 2028 and beyond.

They do: Trump thinks he can use a loophole to get a third term, and I would think in early 2028 a Second Constitution implementing 6 year terms will be unleashed, since the 2025 state of emergency, a 2026 state of martial law, and a 2027 suspension of the Constitution will NOT get rid of migrants. Thus I think the Stupublicans will stay in power until 2041, when they will be kicked out by Democrats: unfortunately, by then the United States will have become 1934 Germany under the Enabling Act before political parties were abolished, and the Democrats will not be able to turn back the clock.

Nope. I understand the intent here. But satire is a fine line sometimes. If one were to take all this literally, it does nothing to rid the country of the Trump precedents. If anything, it emphasizes them. Just because there's a lot of attempted good involved doesn't make it right. Too much tenuous fence walking. No, I'd rather President Alexander be more honest and, yes, traditional. Because let's face it...we're never going to put America back together. Nor should we. It has to be even better....

I agree, and that was my point.

I know, sir. I just don't have a lot of trust in the endless literalists out in the world.

Hi While I enjoyed the read of this "furistic" American president based on Trump only with less "gut". It was not scary because this is not what I wish for so it was hard to relate. What I found myself thinking is that Trump just finished his first 100 days of destruction - of slash and burn, of ignoring all laws, of turning the entire world economy upside down, of starting a horrific genocide in Africa, of displacing our allies and border partners, and of pretending he was God, or King, or whatever dylusional thought crossed his sick mind. I have enormous empathy for all the good people around the world whose lives he has destroyed while he is playing God. It has left me drained and feeling so helpless that there is not more that I can do to "let the world know that all Americans" are not this crazy, this delusional, this destructive, and this vane. Most of us care about others and still have a moral compass to guide us. What I am trying to say is that I am not ready for 2029 or beyond. I am still realing from the photo of Trump immitating the Pope.

I had to laugh at this quote below being an ex-Nahvillian:

Fired the Grand Ole Opry Board and replaced it with Gen Z digital influencers. The iconic country music venue sued Alexander, saying he had jurisdiction over the board, and a federal judge ruled against the president. “Judges don’t trump presidents,” Alexander said. “I have an army, they don’t.”

The "Generation Z" (in reality Generation YZ, born 1997-2005, my brother's cohort) digital influencers are TikTokkers who work for Putin, Xi, Maduro, or Cuba, and promote pseudoscience like the Flat Earth, claiming giant myths in the Bible are folk memory of dinosaurs, and promote NWO conspiracy theories: they also promote gangsta rap and rock n' roll (I used to like rock n' roll, but since 2021 I realized rock n' roll is obnoxious). These influencers are Trumpanzees with the exception of several Bernie Bros (many of whom are female) and in 2028 Trump will win them over.

The term "Trumpanzee" got a Urban Dictionary entry in March 2016, and I think it is possible the use of the term actually predates Trump's electoral campaign, since he was a New York celebrity BEFORE "The Art of the Deal" turned him into a national one. Thus I think it is possible it dates to 1980.
