Trump's America, fictional dystopian future story idea.

Part 1
Diary entry for 31 of December 2024
It was only 9 years ago when I was elected as President of the United States of America. And next year I, Donald Jeremiah Trump will live on in the history books as the first emperor of the American Empire, destined to lead this great nation into her first of a thousand glorious years.

“Divide Et Impera” was one of the earliest memories of my life. My father was an excellent business man but a terrible leader. One of the few things I still reminisce about him was of the tales he used to tell me, how Roman started off as a mere city state only to become one of the most powerful empires in the ancient world. Divide and Conquer has always been the answer and Divide and Conquer is how I am going to do it.

The story of how this came to be occurred prior to the 2016 election. By then I had plans to overthrow the Liberal International Order. It was the only thing in the way of my vision. Thus, I ran on an anti-globalization and isolationist platform while being a defender for rural Americans. NATO, the defensive pact which deterred the Russians from invading Europe for over half a century became a waste of money. IMF, World Bank and the UN became shadowy organizations that was taking away American sovereignty and freedom. I used this in conjunction to weaponize America’s cultural war and with the help from ‘a friend’, I managed to politicize the election to such a degree that I became the only morally responsible person to elect into office. It was beautiful.

We hired a language expert to simplify how my speeches would come across to create an ignorant façade. To say it was effective was an understatement, this popularist approach exploited the sentiments of people who was sick and tired of politicians and the conventional wisdom that people tend to hold about said politician. I was not selling myself as one of them no good lying corrupt politicians, bad people who speaks with forked tongue and sell empty promises. I’m terribly sorry, my persona tends to come out when I talk about the matter. Where was I, ah yes let me be more specific, my persona was to be that of the successful business, a man who did not subscribe to all that money grabbing, power grabbing world of politics. I was Don the average Joe you can have a beer with. The image of a wealthy man, who did not care about his wealth. The image of a self-made billionaire whom anyone could become, should they aspire to. The image of a man, who is the living embodiment of America’s anti-conformity and the American dream. Under the guise of this persona, this was an incredibly effective strategy, I became more identifiable than Cruz, Bush or even Clinton.

Within the past few years, I had consolidated power within key democratic and swing states such as California, New York and Ohio. When the 2018 mid-terms took place, our sole goal was to reverse the ‘blue wave’. The Republicans did whatever it took for me to win, my loyal Red Hat patriots would engage in intense gerrymandering campaigns. At the end of it, the electoral maps were so twisted and disproportionate it looked like a cripple. On top of that, we suppressed minority voters via an executive order mandating the requirement of a photo ID. You’d be surprise by how much of these minorities do not have photo ID, we sure was.

Slowly, piece by piece, state by state and executive order by executive order we coerced, bribed and conquered the democratic pillars of this country. First, I shall come for the Muslims, so they would not speak. Then, I shall come for the Latinos, so they would not speak. Then, I shall come for the Blacks, so they would not speak. Then, I shall come for their democracy, so no one would be left to speak for them. I honestly do not hold any qualm against the Negros, Mexicans or Muslims. They are but tool and means to an end, and if their demise is going to help me achieve ultimate power then by all means they should be scapegoats. If loyal patriots were to feel like a stagnating economy, rising unemployment or rising inflation is due to foreign immigrant aliens or free-riding minority stealing their jobs, who am I to say they’re wrong? For I shall not break their blissful ignorant illusions by telling my patriotic Americans the stagnating economy is most likely due to the increased in tariff and costly trade wars; or how their hate for minorities stems from their own personal problems, insecurities and ignorance. I cannot break their little hearts, for I need their hearts hateful for the terrible atrocities soon to be inflicted upon these minorities shall bond and bind us as a nation.

There’s only a few minutes left of 2024, and my apprehension is palpable. For even though, we have brewed an atmosphere of fear and paranoia towards our enemies, there would always be a degree of uncertainty and the element of luck. For the last 6 years we had demonized our Latino neighbor, from the very beginning I was associating rapists to Mexicans. When these Mexicans exploit and infiltrate our borders, they are not bringing their best, they are bringing in crime, drugs and issues of overpopulation. It was not entirely hyperbolic either, there was indeed an element to truths in this rhetoric. In 2017, when Hurricane Katia made landfall in Mexico we saw a movement of approximately half and million migrants into our border states. States like Texas which was devastated by Hurricane Harvey no less than a week before was infested with Mexicans. It was a logistic impossibility to accommodate these people, migration camps and ghettos eventually formed near the cities of Brownsville and McAllen. The emboldened ICE agents went to work straight away, we even had quotas and incentives for the numbers of immigrants deported. 30 will get you a 10% bonus for your salary while 200 will get you a paid vacation. Violence was not encouraged but it was not punished either. This was the first act that Mexico took to eroding our sovereignty, they have started this war, but I shall end it. Tomorrow will be the day I send this historic tweet.

“We must stop these big flows of people taking advantage of DACA and NAFTA, bringing in drugs and illegal aliens. Mexico is stealing our country and we have no choice but to use Nuclear option. We are at War”
