In 2016, we nearly saw the hostile takeover of the Republican Party by businessman Donald Trump, whose divide campaign was making huge waves amongst disgruntled Americans. However, cooler heads prevailed when Marco Rubio was able to triumph over Trump in the primaries, and he and Nikki Haley were able to defeat Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine in the general election.

Overall, the Rubio presidency has been pretty good. The economy is booming, GDP growth has been great, unemployment has been going down, and Republicans actually made gains in the past midterms. Let’s also not forget the appointments of Neil Gorsuch and Viet Dinh (Rubio’s first Attorney General) to the Supreme Court.

But this does beg the question: what might America have been like under the leadership (that might be too strong of a word) of a President Donald Trump?
