Ironically Trump might be in a uniquely good position to propose singlepayer, better than any Liberal at least. Most of Reform is probably behind him due to Reform practically just being Trump by this point, and most Democrats will support him for this. If he can get it past the Senate, we could see some version of healthreform under Trump, even if it's a lot like OTL's Obamacare. Screw calling it the Affordable Care Act, too, why not call it the name it deserves: Trumpcare!
Meanwhile, we could see some tax cuts, tougher stances against illegal immigrants (while perhaps being better for some immigrants), the possible repeal of NAFTA and other attempts at trade protectionism, and even some infrastructure projects. One issue will show Democrats backing Trump to the hilt, the next Republicans, and I expect Reform to essentially be a party of yes-men for him in D.C.

Eh, Abraham Washington has already said the Reform Party's future does not necessarily align with Trump. And why should it? At this point they owe everything to him, and he nothing to them- they'll follow along to his every word, and those that don't are screwed. That's not a good long term plan for a party, to be based around the whims of one guy.

Well looks like minorities and such will get the short end of the stick with Sessions in charge.

Who would you have picked?

Perhaps, I could make changes later, but I thought that he would be interesting to put in there and plus it would butterfly his death and leave him open to playing a future role in this timeline.
If people want to, they can PM me with suggestions for a more realistic cabinet. I'm open to any ideas people have to help make this a better timeline.

Perhaps Richard Posner? He is incredibly experienced and is generally considered to be a bit of an conservative.
13: A New Era

A New Era
January 20th, 2001. A new era was dawning in American history. For the first time a man not from the political or military realm had ascended to the highest office. For the first time a man not connected to the two-party duopoly would hold the office of Commander-In-Chief. For the first time, Americans felt a new sense of hope. The 21st century lay ahead, an undiscovered country, but one that would offer hope and wonder.
Indeed, the 21st century would be a great one for America, but that is another story, for another time.
The man who would lead America into a new century, a new millenium, was an unlikely man who nobody could have expected. However, that is the American story, anyone can make it and in this new world, anything could happen.
This man's name was Donald John Trump. Born in Queens on June 14, 1946 to a property developer, Trump showed interest in construction and business from a young age. He had a good childhood, and was raised well, being sent to New York Military Academy and later going on the Wharton School of Finance.
Donald Trump made it big and made a name for himself in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan in the 1980's. He was living the life, but not for long. A divorce, and the bankruptcy of his businesses sent his whole world tumbling down. However, this was not the end of the road for Donald Trump, he made a stunning comeback and was once again living the American dream.
All the challenges, the setbacks in his life shaped him. Made him a better businessman and a better person. Perhaps the Presidency will shape him even more?
Even the campaign changed him a lot. He learnt about the hardships Americans were facing and was determined to help them, be their champion. Now, he was the most powerful man in the world.
As he placed his hand on the bible, all these thoughts rushed through his head. Donald J. Trump was about embark on a grand new adventure in his life, and a grand new chapter in the American journey. The future lay out, open for business. Anything could happen, a new America layed just over the horizon...
I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear to faithfull execute the office of President of the United States and to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of thr United States. So help me God!
