What would you do?

Presidential stuff, probably.

If I was the president of my country? Buddy...

W e 'd b e d e a d w h e r e w e s t a n d.

kiss fish

blow stuff up
y'know
for the government

I would end up a bigger eejit than Enda Kenny. Seriously, I would end up messing up while under that much pressure.

Make our national anthem Pon Pon Pon.
Have the country be nothing but weeaboos.
Slowly dominate the world and destroy all who oppose us.

But a president doesn't have the power to just go "okay, it's illegal to where purple on Tuesdays" or something stupid without other people looking at it and approving it. I'm assuming you basically mean "what would you do if you had absolute control over your country."

I'd make everyone have to wear an orange cat glued to their heads at all hours of the day.

first i would make it harder for illegal immigrants to come into this country
id try to find away to bring companies back into the us
school of choice, and a better educational system
protection of the second amendment
if our country gets attacked i would care if i was "offending someone" id tell the country who did and assure the us that will find them and make them pay for causing such a tragedy.


or id probably screw everything up in a day. who ****ing knows.

I think The Nutshack would make a better anthem.

I took it more as a "supreme ruler of your own made up country" type deal ignoring any powers in any country other than the ruler themselves.

This is weeaboo country, we will have a weeaboo trash anthem sung in Japanese.

But what if our country was made of bad adult cartoon characters?

id fiddle while rome burned
even though i dont live in italy

I'd die. Some idiot would shoot me.

build a wall around the canada-america border

yes this includes alaska

**** lets just surround hawaii with walls

We'd capture the princess of a neighbouring country, then build a multitude of castles filled with deathtraps, with some jerk waiting for them just to say "your princess is in another castle" We'd also have an awesome theme song, and I'd get our best biologists working on a way to turn me into a giant fire breathing turtle monster. Though we'll probably get stopped by plumbers from Italy.

That is my 100% original idea, do not steal.

Nuke every country

Let's be real, in this day and age no POTUS can accomplish anything thanks to the tantrum-throwing infant that is Congress.

To that effect, if I were POTUS: Congressional term limits and a mandatory federal retirement age from a career as a public servant (at all levels from POTUS to, say, your town's alderman) would both be things I'd pursue. We don't need inept 70-80 something year olds trying to create policy on new and emerging technologies and science when they clearly can't understand it and make that the job of young staffers.

Oh wait I wasn't supposed to take this topic seriously, was I? ^.^;

Better gun control, better military, only nuke I country if it's truly necessary, no Hillary, no Trump, and some how pay off the debt.

Assuming I don't have Congress blocking me, I would cut military spending fairly significantly and invest that money into scientific ventures (namely NASA and planetary travel), renewable energy, and higher education.

i wold end up like mckinley

I'd explode from stress and anxiety.

I'd buy a nice hat

i'd make more mens homeless shelters

the white house has a swimming pool and bowling alleys and **** so why would i do presidenty things when i could just live there

AND ANARCHY

okay but real talk, in the off chance some weird thing happens and i become president, heres my goals:
(NOTE: this is like dream goals, so its not necessarily realistic, but then again, this is some weird universe where im president. suck it, rules.)

-kick the **** out of ISIS
we dont have to be afraid of the dark that they live in, and we cant exactly reason with psychopaths who cut off heads. they grew a little too much over the past few years but we really need to find a cure before their infection spreads.

-get rid of that debt
or at least a chunk of it, since our future is essentially in the hands of countries that dont exactly like us much anymore, we need to take it back with no violence.

-figure out a way to make people like us
our foreign policy sucks MAJOR ass right now, like holy ****. russia really doesnt like us, but theyre way more sensible than ISIS and north korea, im sure if we actually sat down and figured something out, we could come to some sort of compromise.

-reach out to the LGBT community and figure stuff out
dude im the first LGBT president here (that we know of) so getting people like me to feel more accepted would be great.

-prioritize medical and interstellar research
well people are dying more than id like, and if we dont treat earth right we have to have somewhere to go. theres so much we havent explored in both the vast expanse of space and our own bodies. lets get on that, okay science?

-white house video game bunker
i want one

OKAY THATS MY PLATFORM
so please vote greeny, ill kick some ass and hug your or something!! ☆⌒(≧▽***° )
im greeny and i approve this message

The US spends more on the military than nearly every other country on the Earth combined. Even shredding the budget in half the country may still have a fine enough budget to defend the nation.

In particular I would maintain the defensive half of our military (Navy, National Guard, etc) but reduce spending and foreign interference except for places where it's actually necessary (e.g. fighting ISIS). We don't need a military presence in every country.

I would hire someone to do everything for me and enjoy the privileges of presidential stuff, you know, living in my big house with its swimming pool, having tons of lovers, eating good, give some epic speechs from time to time, spen summer at Ibiza in my luxury presidential yatch,¡ and hire another team to make it as if I work hard.

More LGBT rights and protections
Less military
Open economic borders
Better and easier education
Hate speech rules redefined
Deal with police brutality
Make peace with as many powers as possible
Better disease research and even easier health care
Allow easier amnesty for illegal immigrants
Attempt to let other powers deal with terrorism rather than making things worse like Bush did.

I wouldn't be the first LGBT president though, since old Abe Lincoln clearly has the covered

I guarantee you its literally anything that they don't agree with. Basically, no free speech because that is exactly what hate speech is.

Improve funding for public schools, make a lot of enemies, and have an attempted assassination attempt.

All slurs. Homophobia and transphobia would be the primary things here.

Any LGBT hatred will not be tolerated. I'd jail anyone who doesn't support us.

Any form of hate speech no matter how hateful is still free speech and is protected under the first amendment.

You wouldn't be able to do that as it's unconstitutional, on top of that, you'd have to tell several religions that they HAVE to allow trans people and allow gay marriage. Which again, is unconstitutional.

Your logic is basically
"If they don't agree w/ me then they should be punished." Which isn't how you should run your country.

If you really want to make the LBGT crowd more accepted then you have do take steps to do that, acting like a total dictator isn't the way to go. What you really should do is propose a law that allows LBGT youth (all youth really) to get out of abusive households easier. I know how ****ty foster care can be, so in turn you should also pass a law that fixes that as well.

I don't understand politics all that much, but I'm trying to wrap around them. I do know that going the totaltarian route isn't the way to go.
