A message from the future.

Reporting from Sweden 2037.

Donald Trump, the ‘dealmaker’ president of America died today. He was 91. He ruled for more than two-decades, making him the longest-serving president, surpassing Franklin D. Roosevelt who served four consecutive terms.

As expected, Jared Kushner, 56, will assume the title of president of America according to the results of a vote of National Electors.

Trump won the presidency in a surprise populist ‘Make America Great Again’ movement. Trump used his skills in legal maneuvering to consolidate power and establish a totalitarian government. His Attorney General acted as his ’Roy Cohn’ firewall enabling Trump to declare the traditional pre-Trump U.S. law invalid, refusing to recognize constitutional norms. Trump as commander of the military and A.G. Barr overseeing all law enforcement, left all other institutions powerless.

Trump was to be removed from office at the end of his term by the Federal Marshal Service, but Attorney General Barr ordered the marshals to stand-down, declaring a “deep-state emergency.”

Barr was later found dead under mysterious circumstances and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner became Attorney General.

Widely reviled for his many abuses of power, Trump was held up as a savior earlier in his administration by politicians and intellectuals who should have known better. Many believed the institutions would survive the ‘mad king’ and still others were sure politicians with future aspirations like Barr, or Vice President Mike Pence, or others would eventually put on the brakes. But Trump and his family outmaneuvered them all and in the end there was no one left to oppose him.

Trump told Swedish News in 2033 that “we have never, ever rigged an election.”

Trump gradually eliminated most government institutions and cabinet positions, filling all remaining positions with family members. The Congress and Supreme Court were marginalized to become rubber stamp institutions.

But his policies ultimately led the country to economic collapse and the brink of starvation. America is a failed state at the moment.
