The Summit
In January of 2003, the heads of state of the DPRK and USA would meet officially for the first time. The 2003 Singapore Summit would one of the most hotly anticipated summits in recent history and the stakes were high. However, if both leaders played their cards right, a war that had stretched for over half a century would finally come to and end.
The dialogue between the American President and North Korean leader was cordial and through their translators were able to get along well. As a result, the two leaders managed come up with a preliminary deal:
Firstly, North Korea would end its nuclear weapons programme and vow to never use nuclear power for military purposes.
Secondly, North Korea and South Korea would sign a peace treaty and both militaries would demobilize. North Korea would transfer the remains of US and allied veterans back to their respective countries.
Thirdly, North Korea would introduce democratic reforms and free political prisoners and foreign citizens.
Fourthly, the North and South would gradually reintegrate. A Korean Confederation would eventually be established under the principle of Two Systems, One Korea. This new nation would have united Olympic and sports teams, a single head of state and a single currency. However, the North would be self governing region until they could be fully integrated into Korean society.
Fifthly, the united Korea would become a neutral country. No foreign military forces or foreign agents would be permitted on Korean soil. Korea would be part of no alliances and would maintain a neutral stance in foreign affairs, cooperating with China and the West equally. A DMZ would be set up along the Chinese-Korean border.
Whilst the finer details would be ironed out over the following months. The Singapore Accords would be the foundation for peace and reunification in the Korean peninsula.

2003 in Review
With a far more friendly and reform minded Congress returned in 2003, Trump knew it would be a good year, and indeed it was. After returning from the Korea summit, Trump got to work on his agenda.
Over the year, he would negotiate immigration reform, implementing a merit based immigration and system and coming to a agreement on border with Mexico. Border security would also be boosted heavily, and as a result the mass flow of illegal immigration would start to tail off and stop in the subsequent years. Trump also came to an understanding with the Mexican government to help them fight drug crime. Trump reasoned that if he struck at the source of crime and poverty in Mexico, perhaps he could eliminate the large waves of illegal immigration America had been experiencing in recent years.
Trump would also begin the process of trust busting. Like his idol, Teddy Roosevelt, he would begin to break up the large monopolies he feared was corrupting American democracy and American capitalism. Over the course of the 2000s, big business would have less and less influence and the markets would become more free from unfair competition. Furthermore, large media monopolies such as Clear Channel would be broken up, so that there is more variety and competition in news, music, television and film and video games indsutry. Hopefully, this could stimulate small business growth, grow the middle class and end lobbyism - perhaps paving the way for an audacious reform Trump had in mind...
Again, Trump would invest heavily in Americas infrastructure, modernizing and improving it. This investment would help bring America out of its current recession and help bulld a 21st century nation.
Finally, Trump tried to push forward his controversial idea of electoral reform...
What he proposed was a 28th amendment, which he believed would bring America closer to the kind of democracy the founders intended. Its key points were:

Finally, Trump tried to push forward his controversial idea of electoral reform...
What he proposed was a 28th amendment, which he believed would bring America closer to the kind of democracy the founders intended. Its key points were:
- Abolition of the electoral college and the introduction of a runoff electoral system. Candidates would begin their campaigns in May, and a first round election would be held in September. The top two candidates would compete in a runoff held in November. The President would take office in November/December.
- The President would have to be independent of any political party, returning America to a system which George Washington had favoured. Instead of being a partisan position, the President would be a fair broker and a unifying national leader.
- Congress (House and Senate) would be elected every 4 years, and the Presidency every 4 years. These elections would be offset (ex. President elected in 2004, 2008, 2012 etc., Congress elected in 2006, 2010, 2014 etc.)
- All representatives and Senators would have a two term limit.
- The President would have a two term limit as before.
- The House would be elected through MMP (mixed-member proportional) in which half are directly elected and half come from party lists. The system would encourage coalitions and multipartisanship, as well as breaking the duopoly.
- The Senate would be first past the post as before.
- Political lobbying by elected officials after leaving office would be banned.
- Political lobbying by large special interest groups would banned/severalt regulated.
- Large political donations would be banned. Parties would use government grants to avoid corruption.
- Election days would be federal holidays.
- Campaigning outside of election periods (May-November) is regulated.
- News broadcasters are mandated to cover candidates, parties and political views fairly and equally.
- Nationwide referendums could be invoked through citizen driven petitions.
Congress rejected these radical reforms out of hand, with the traditional parties fearing this would finally crush their power and perhaps lead to their later downfall. With no other option, Trump threw down the gauntlet and proposed to hold a nationwide referendum on the amendment. If it passed with a solid majority, Congress and the states would have to begin constitutional negotiations.
This referendum would be held at the same time as the 2004 presidential election...
As 2003 came to an end, election season had well and truly begun. The referendum would be the biggest test of Trump’s presidency thus far. Its success or failure would decide the legacy of his Presidency as a whole.
Now was a time for choosing...

Fear, Loathing and Yellowcake on the Campaign Trail ‘04
When Trump announced his campaign for re-election in late 2003, it came with a new slogan: Make America Great Again. Hoping to capitalize on the revolutionary spirit that thrust him into office at the turn of the century, Trump chose this slogan to help with his final push for electoral reform.
In fact, 2004 was very much a dual campaign, with the President campaigning not only for himself, but a yes vote in the referendum in the fall. It would be a grueling campaign, but Trump hoped that his great successes in his first term would win him a second and give much needed gravitas to his support for the 28th...
But opposition was mounting. Hoping to capitalize on the recession and numerous scandals during Trump’s presidency, both the Republicans and Democrats would run strong and fierce campaigns.
The Republicans nominated John McCain, the Republicans maverick answer the reformist Trump. The conservative base was not happy, so McCain decided to emphasize his hawkishness and status as a war hero. He ran on a campaign criticizing Trump’s radicalism and “un-presidential” actions. He also stoked up fear over WMDs in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Indeed, one of his main policies was using American military force to secure the country. He hammered the doveish Trump over his refusal to act against Iraq and his “cosying up to dictators”. He also made insinuations that Trump was in cahoots with places like Russia to destablise the post war order. Most Americans at the turn of the century were rather apathetic about foreign policy, but his arguments woulf resonate in some sectors.
The Democrats on the other hand would nominate one Hillary Rodham Clinton, hoping to capitalize on her recognition, appeal and potential to the first female President. This nomination was much to the disdain of the party’s left, so as a result Clinton would pick Howard Dean as her running mate. This assuaged some fears, but some were still disillusioned with the Democrats.
This was all well and good for the two parties, but they still lagged behind the President in the polls and it very much looked like Reform would come through the middle again like last time. So when a certain news story broke in mid 2004, it came as a great relief to the parties.
The news broke that Iraq did indeed possess weapons of mass destruction and was using them against the rapidly growing rebellion against Saddam.. Furthermore, it was alleged through leaked documents that Trump was colluding with nations like Russia and Turkey to suppress this information. The story was wild, and Trump quickly denied it, but it did give the other two parties casus belli for a new an unorothodox approach.
With civil war looming in Iraq and the threat of terrorists or other rogue actors aquiring WMDs, the Democrats and Republicans announced a “patriotic” electoral pact for national security. The Democrats would take themselves off the ballot in red states and the Republicans would take themselves off the ballot in blue states. It was hoped that this would deadlock the electoral college, at which point the McCain and Clinton campaigns secretly promised to pledge their delegates to the more successful candidate. Afterwards, a bipartisan administration would be formed to tackle Saddam’s Iraq and roll back the radicalism of Trump.
This was their trump card.
The announcement threw the election into chaos, with mass defections from all three parties. One segment of Americans was outraged with Trump’s weakness against Iraq. Another segment was even more outraged that the other two parties were colluding to oust Trump.
Things seemed dire heading into the fall for the Trump campaign, but things could still be turned around. Trump and his advisors knew that by showing their hand so soon, they had proved Trump’s argument of the corrupt two-party duopoly and that this line of attack could be key to not only winning re-election but sweeping away the old order once and for all...
Meanwhile, pressure began to mount against the Trump Administration to act against Iraq. Trump’s failure to neutralize Bin Laden had led to many considering him “weak” on foreign policy, and the crisis in Iraq only reinforced this argument. Would Trump have to abandon his principles and order a strike in the gulf?

The Persian Gulf Crisis
On the morning of October 26 2004, American and coalition warplanes took off from airbases and carriers in the Persian Gulf to launch strategic airstrikes against alleged WMD facilities and against key Iraqi Republican Guard positions. These airstrikes were devastating but ultimately limited in scope. All of the major players in the region were warned ahead of time and the airstrikes would cease by the following evening.
In the meantime, the US had made contact with disillusioned Iraqi generals and Baathists who were concerned with Saddam’s deterioating health and mental state and potential takeover by his radical sons. The US promised to remove all sanctions and end the no fly zone when they took power. They also promised financial aid and a guarantee of Iraqi sovereignty.
When the strikes began, Saddam Hussein fled the capital, fearing that NATO and their were launching a full scale invasion of the country in a repeat of 1991. With the Iraqi leadership thrown into disarray, the coup plotters made their move and seized key positions in Baghdad and across the country, declaring martial law. When some Saddam loyalists tried to resist, phase two began.
With Iraq spiralling into chaos, Trump convinced regional players such as Turkey, Syria and Jordan to launch an “stablization mission”. By noon, the Arab coalition rolled across the border, with US and British marine and airborne divisions seizing important positions in Basra. Even the Iranians and Saudis were enlisted in helping. All the while, the Iraqi rebel alliance launched a grand offensive against the government. This unlikely coalition broke the back of the Saddam loyalists, with Hussein himself fleeing into hiding. By midnight a ceasefire was declared, and an emergency session of the UN Security Council was convened to resolve the crisis.
By this point, an Iraqi military junta was in place, which launched negotiations with the Coalition and the rebel forces. It was agreed that a United Nations peacekeeping force would be sent into Iraq to secure the region. Meanwhile, the Baathists would remain in power, albeit under new management and the Iraqi military would be used to stablize the situation. Trump did not want to create a power vacuum in the region and would also withdraw American forces a soon as possible.
Unbelievably, this complicated scheme had worked.
With peace negotiations beginning in Vienna, it seemed like the crisis had been resolved. However, with Turkish intervention in the north, a whole new pandora’s box had been opened, with great consequences for the region in the future...
Nevertheless, it was seen as a great success at the time and Trump’s approval rating spiked. With days left until the election, Trump’s opponents’ main argument had been defused and Trump was set to win big in the following elections.
The Persian Gulf Crisis had ended, and an uneasy peace was restored. Perhaps this form of multilateral, limited intervention could be a model for the future?

In a diner in rural Iowa, the attendees watch the small TV in the corner intensely. These people come from all backgrounds, but they are all dedicated supporters of the President. As the ivory moon rises up through the blackened sky, something very surreal happened.
A breaking news alert flashes across the screen, heralding great change for the nation and a new era for the Republic...

CNN CAN NOW PROJECT THAT YES WILL WIN THE 28th AMENDMENT REFERENDUM. A DECISIVE VICTORY FOR THE PRESIDENT’S CAMPAIGN OF REFORM.
Although it is not a legally binding referendum, it sends an important signal to Washington that electoral reform has broad popular support.
Meanwhile, the Presidential race is still too close to call at this time...

The Death of Two Parties
It was over. With the decisive victory of the President and his Reform allies, the Democratic-Republican Duopoly was effectively over. Despite holding their ground in a few states, most of their supporters had abandoned them, and it would only get worse when the 28th was ratified...
The slow and strange death of Democratic and Republican America in the early 21st century was a curious phenomenon. At the turn of the century, the two party duopoly never seemed stronger. A mere decade later, the same two parties had basically ceased to exist .
When MMP and the independent office of Presidency went into force, both parties were reduced to only token support. Most of both parties’ bases defected to new parties formed in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
On the right, the new Conservative party took much of the former Republican party’s base, while others went to Reform and the minor party, the Libertarians.
On the left, Labor and the Progressives were the main two benefactors of the Democrats collapse, while the Green party also attracted support. Later on, Labor and the Progressives would merge to form the Social Democrats, which become the main standard bearer for leftism. in 21st century America.
Otherwise, other minor parties standing for issues such as Native American rights or for statehood for the territories would emerge from the wreck of the old two parties.
And as always, the Reform party would stand in the center. The legacy of Trump would ensure that Reform would stand for middle America, well into the 21st century.
Quite ironically, the Clinton-McCain Memorandum of 2004 would pave the way for one of the strangest mergers in modern American history. By the 2020s, the two parties were virtually extinct, which prompted their leaders make an audacious decision. In 2025, the Democrats and Republicans would vote to merge and create a new party occupying the moderate center of American politics.
The Democratic-Republicans were back after two hundred years, and today they remain one the last vestigal remnants of 20th century America.

Trump’s Second Term
Trump’s second term would not be as dramatic or eventful as his first, but it was no less interesting. It was during his second term that he would oversee the transformation of American politics from a 19th century political system to a 21st century one. The 28th Amendment would be ratified in the spring of 2005, paving the way for the great realignment of 2006. American politics would never be the same.
Trump’s reforms would also inspire change around the world. Growing populist movements would shape the next decade, and result in great change around the globe, from Brexit to the Arab Spring. The world decisively marched into the new century, plunging into the great unknown...
It was also busy time in Trump’s personal life. Jennifer Trump, born on December 25 of 2005 would be the first baby born in the White House since Grover Cleveland. The event attracted great publicity around the world, and the media would follow her every step, from birth to her first year in kindergarten.
2007 would finally see the capture of Osama Bin Laden, notorious Al Qaeda terrorist. He would subsequently go on trial for his various crimes over the 1990s and 2000s, being sentenced to life in prison. Trump’s nemesis since 2001 had finally had his comeuppance.
In 2008, the very first post-partisan US Presidential election would take place. A wide variety of candidates would take part, but only two would advance to the second round.
The first was John F. Kennedy Jr, son of the late President Kennedy. Founder of the popular George political magazine, Kennedy would later distance himselves from the Democrats and join the campaign for electoral reform. In 2008, Kennedy ran as a “New Liberal”, who favoured common sense solutions to America’s problems, the expansion of America’s space program, education reform and investment in high tech infrastructure.
Facing him was none other than vice-president Schwazrkopf. Running on the legacy of Trump and his war leadership, Schwazkopf nevertheless put forward a far more conservative vision of America than Trump did. His advanced age was also concern during the campaign, but he countered that by emphasizing his greater experience than his young rival.
The election was close, but John F. Kennedy Jr would eke out a narrow win and become the 44th President of the United States, ushering in a new era of Camelot.
The 2000s were a time of prosperity, and Trump left office as one of the most popular Presidents of modern times. Wishing his successor and good friend Mr. Kennedy good luck, Donald Trump flew off to Mar A Lago to hit the links.
His legacy was secured. Through 8 years of turmoil, change and ultimately triumph, Trump had forged the America that we deserve.

In 2008, Kennedy ran as a “New Liberal”, who favoured common sense solutions to America’s problems, the expansion of America’s space program, education reform and investment in high tech infrastructure.
Facing him was none other than vice-president Schwazrkopf. Running on the legacy of Trump and his war leadership, Schwazkopf nevertheless put forward a far more conservative vision of America than Trump did. His advanced age was also concern during the campaign, but he countered that by emphasizing his greater experience than his young rival.
The election was close, but John F. Kennedy Jr would eke out a narrow win and become the 44th President of the United States, ushering in a new era of Camelot.
The 2000s were a time of prosperity, and Trump left office as one of the most popular Presidents of modern times. Wishing his successor and good friend Mr. Kennedy good luck, Donald Trump flew off to Mar A Lago to hit the links.
His legacy was secured. Through 8 years of turmoil, change and ultimately triumph, Trump had forged the America that we deserve.
