I would:

1) Remove those gold drapes in the White House that look like shower curtains. Been complaining about them since they've been up. Every time Obama or Trump gives/gave a speech in front of them, I felt/feel like they were/are doing it from the White House bathroom.

2) Send the media packing. I'd tell them from now on the White House briefings will be held on the US/Mexican border.

3) Have my own TV studio in the White House and take questions from the public not the media and not via Twitter but via the White House website.

4) Assign czars as temps to fill political appointee jobs while the Senate sits on their hands for my actual appointees. I would make sure the temps are REALLY conservative, way more than my actual appointee choice to make Democrats go nuts.

5) I would fold the EPA under the Department of the Interior, make the Department of Education disappear and ask why we need 17 Intelligence agencies, then cut at least 13 of them. I would use the money saved to build more prisons. My head of the FBI will have counter-terrorism experience and will not be a lawyer.

6) I would put a big well-lit Nativity scene on the White House lawn at Christmas time. I would give the politicians on Capitol Hill, Christmas stockings with coal in them.

7) I would electrify the top of the White House fence.

8) I would make all illegal alien felony crimes, federal crimes, and use the new found space at Gitmo to imprison them and then deport them from there after they finish their sentences. If businesses are hiring illegals who have been previously deported, I would have the head of the business arrested and charged with some crime.

9) I would instruct the DOJ to look at the financial records of local politicians and police chiefs in Sanctuary Cities where gangs are dealing drugs to see if they are being paid to look the other way.

10) If students from other countries come here to attend college and never show up for class after coming into the country, I would mandate that colleges report it and I would subject college administrators to jail time for non-compliance.

11) I would increase the pay of members of the military in war zones.

12) Can't comment on foreign policy until I've been briefed.

I don't agree with a single one of your points

This is the root reason why - you don't make your decisions based off of information.

1. Faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,

2. Be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states,

3. By and with the advice and consent of the Senate, make treaties, nominate and appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States,

4. From time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend for its consideration such measures as I might judge necessary and expedient; and on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, adjourn them to such time as I might think proper; receive ambassadors and other public ministers; take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and commission all the officers of the United States,

5. Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment, should I deem the same appropriate.

I would do only one thing: jawbone 34 state governors and legislators to call a Constitutional Convention under Article 5 of the US Constitution.

[] End the State of Emergency (since 1933)
[] Abolish socialism (FICA)
[] Disenfranchise all recipients of public funds (conflict of interest to let them vote themselves "benefits")
[] Ban enforcement of contracts for usury in any court of law, and
[] Repeal the 14th amendment
(Not in any order)

I’m glad most of you will never be president, with these odd notions of what the office entails.

Feel free to comment on this idea.

Also, what do you think you would do if there was no government to take care of the roads? Perhaps you have a great idea just waiting to burst out!

A private corporation, driven by the profit motive, would determine the usage and cost for access to their roads? What could go wrong? And, it would also be patrolled by private guards adhering to no law but their code? Awesome, Blackwater on American highways.

I do have a great idea. Move to another country where I don't have to worry about the goddamned roads.
