You have a super majority in all branches of government, you don’t need to consider other parties.

Where do you start, and what is your overall stratergy?

Will you get a second term?

    Well, considering how fucked things are right now…

    1. I gather up the publicly active billionaires and bring them into stage with me before starting a speech on inequality, really digging into the fact that they probably don’t feel safe in public anymore, then I announce that “these industry leaders have volunteered to help fix this, and will be staying in Washington until we have a plan”. During the speech, I’d kick out their entourage and after I’d trade out their phones for ones that can only make calls

    2. I’d keep guards everywhere and make pointed implicit threats, but leave that wiggle room for civility. I’d use this distraction to keep other parties from interfering as I sic the FTC, SEC, and FCC on trust busting basically the entire economy. I’d have the NSA help behind the scenes to speed up this process, hell I’d expand the judiciary just for this purpose, to push it through as fast as possible

    3. I’d deploy the national guard everywhere to basically open soup kitchens and shelters. I’d probably send in large portions of the military as well - we have the resources and logistics to feed everyone for an extended period of time, so I’d use it to mitigate the short term damage

    4. I’d call on other world leaders for aid. I’d make a big speech about collapsing empires and the dangers of the coming dark age. I’d call for a new age of cooperation and solidarity as equals, of breaking the cycle by playing another game. I’d ask for medicine and aid workers from around the world to help us through our trying time, then I’d parade out the billionaires to let them announce their plans to use their wealth to create jobs (and make sure they talk about how they want a world where they can feel safe, no matter how forced). Not all of them would make an appearance, but they’d all pop up later

    5. From there I’d try to stabilize this whole mess legislatively. I’d overturn citizens united by making it expressly illegal with huge penalties, come up with a transition plan to nationalize healthcare, I’d create a program to buy food from independent farmers at cost to keep the soup kitchens open, I’d expand the supreme Court and put restrictions on them, and as things settle I’d make a big deal about restricting certain powers I used to get all of this through

    It would be a huge mess. Like a total shit show. The plan is to basically turn the economy off and on again without loss of life

    But I’d make sure people had food, housing, and hope for the future. They’d be terrified day 1, they’d be terrified as they lose their jobs and the stock market disappears, but then they’d have people going door to door arranging free food deliveries and healthcare. The power would stay on. The Internet would still be up. The evictions wouldn’t come… And

    I’d make a show of limiting my own power, and it would be largely true… But we really have to rework a lot of things, and I’d get the public buy in to do that by becoming a firm lifeline for them. I’d move much more slowly from then on

    So that’s my 100 day plan. Flip the table, burn the boats, then hold things together by giving people what they need until they can reorganize bottom up

    I think I’d be reelected, I think I’d have to firmly reject a third term
