WI Trump hadn't dodged the Vietnam Draft and died fighting in Vietnam?

[Euphoric]

As you may know Donald Trump dodged the Vietnam draft. But what if, instead he answered the call to arms and died in combat? What effects would this inevitably have on US politics? Television (No apprentice)? World Politics?

Reality television was already entrenched so one less show isn't changing that. Likewise, materialism in the 80s was surging so lifestyles, yuppies, and roaring conservatism are still happening. Ironically Trump was liberal in the 80s and 90s so if anything would be affected moderately it would be liberalism. As for politics in the last four years, that is still too recent to discern.

Is this considered current politics?

Why Trump would die if he go to Vietnam? 17750/648500, or 2.8% death rate meant he is unlikely to die, especially because he's a rich guy coming out from military academy, who could be placed as radio operator or radar interpreter (but likely to knew someone who died and thus traumatized, let's be honest).

Unless Trump hulked up and goes to the Special Forces, which has 25% death rate or something...

Trump meet Larry Thorne while in the SF.
Now that's some interesting stuff right there.

IMO anything about Trump is current politics, whether it happened yesterday or fifty years ago. This belongs in Chat.

What could be said is, this alternate Trump will sport clean-shaven head instead of that weird hairdo of him...

Lex Luth... oh wait, Donald Trump, first COMPLETELY BALD US PRESIDENT.
