Cliche Presidents & PMs thread

Yeah, that's a very cool idea. No Longer Lincoln or No Longer Jackson would be amazing. Imagine a crazed Lincoln's Reconstruction, or Jackson's Nullification Crisis.
No Longer Tippecanoe, where William Henry Harrison comes out the other side of his pneumonia... something like Caligula. :biggrin:

And I'd be more than happy to help with Hollow Man, @OrsonWelles. :)
 
Has anyone mentioned the famous Cliché of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin being born in America and becoming President lol

I believe I have also seen a TL where "American" Adolf Hitler becomes President and the step father of Charles Manson ... or is this just a weird dream I have created.
 
I feel like Benjamin Butler as Lincolns VP in 1864 is kind of this, but I can't really think of any good examples other then the sporadic discussion of that as an idea.

Some pretty cool ideas on here guys, plenty to get the grey matter firing.

Well, there's Resurrections From The Dustbin of History where Hitler escapes Germany after a failed putsch (and a successful Soviet revolution) and becomes an American politician (senator?) whilst his son makes a near-successful run for President. Until his assassination by a redneck right-winger. Pretty cool over all.

That has Trotsky as leader of the USSR, Che Gueverra helping rebels against the Italians in Abyssinia and a British Aircraft Carrier called Edward VIII, if memory serves.
 
For Britain there's Prime Minister Mosley, although given how eclectic his political career was that's somewhat understandable.

Nye Bevan is sometimes floated as a super-left Labour PM.

Hopefully once Comissario and I have done our respective timelines Stafford Cripps premierships will become a fixture.
