It was close but in January 2025, Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
The first day in office he declared that illegal aliens were a threat to America’s security. He ordered 10,000 troops to the Mexican border. They arrested thousands, placing them in cages.
The president of Mexico ordered Mexican soldiers to the border. China began talks with Mexico about sending troops against the U.S.
President Trump, unfazed, turned his attention to other issues.
To solidify his support he pressured the conservative Supreme Court to ban abortion nationwide. He closed all Planned Parenthood offices ordering local police to carry out the closures. Pro-life and pro-choice groups clashed everywhere.
By his second year in office, Trump gained control of Congress. He prosecuted Joe Biden, Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, and a judge in one of his cases.
He abolished gun laws, anyone could buy one. Gun-related crimes shot up.
He then made Congress repeal environmental laws. Oil rigs sprang up in pristine areas. Factories free of regulations poured black smoke into the sky.
Being old friends with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump hosted him at the White House. Russia became an ally, so the U.S. stopped all support for Ukraine.
Assistance stopped for Ukraine and in a matter of months Russia won the war. This made every freedom-loving citizen in America enraged at Trump.
The last straw came when he followed in Putin’s footsteps and appointed himself president for life. The whole country blew up!
Window breaking, street fighting and anarchy ripped through America. Trumpistas in MAGA hats came from the hills with automatic rifles. Streets became battlefields.
He declared martial law and called on our ally Russia to send troops to bring order. This did not sit well with U.S. troops, they clashed and the riots got worse.
In the middle of this turmoil Mexican troops, joined by Chinese and North Korean soldiers, marched into San Diego, Arizona and Texas. Thousands of illegals flooded into the U.S. demanding benefits.Welfare offices collapsed.
Our nation was in total chaos. China saw this and sent battleships to Pearl Harbor, and the Kona Coast to attack Pohakuloa Army Base.
Russia sent its fleet to our East Coast. We were surrounded.
Our military fought the good fight but a world war would cause too many casualties so President Trump surrendered. It was all over.
America was divided up into sections by the conquering countries. They allowed Trump to stay in power to rule this new chopped-up federation. Cowardly Republicans bowing to his every whim put him in as dictator. It was his big dream.
After the bizarre antics of Trump in the past, we should have known how far he would go to gain power, now it’s too late. America is gone.
The bright flame of freedom that burned for 250 years is put out. All is dark.
We now know the real meaning of MAGA, it is, Make America Go Away.
If only we had voted for Joe Biden — if only.
