It was done somewhat in jest, but you do realize Mexico has lots of oil and lots of future crisis / stability issues. Check how much food in your local grocery now comes from Mexico.

Instead of sending capital to China, send it to Mexico with lower transportation costs and a language / culture / religion more in line with current america. Wars may be ugly, but they reduce lots of population which lessens strains on resources. Once you kill off or ship out folks you really could get South America to a much more manageable position. Population control can fix lots of problems in a century or less.

Concentrate most of the population to a few key cities and turn the rest of Central America into huge public parks or well managed environmental farming. Pretty sure sugar cane is much more conversion friendly than corn but they could grow corn too. Think of all that global eco tourism! You don't even have to go all Jurrasic Park, just far enough back to pick up many of the critters we have lost since the last big Ice Age.

Building back forests and ecosystems are good for keeping that air we breath in good order. Owning large swaths of fruit and vegetable producing land is in the best interest of the US long term and giving all this aid is not getting a return, so just own it and work out better allocations of capital and resources.

As to the wall Trump proposes, say for simplicity we are dealing with a wall stretching roughly 2,000 miles. The border between Panama and Columbia is about 50 miles and creates a perfect natural barrier

1 Crossing on foot (extremely dangerous)
2 Boat (easily monitored with modern technology)
3 Plane (even easier to monitor and defend)

As a bonus we get the Panama Canal back and bombing the crap out of Columbian drug lords gets real easy. Nothing but win for a US president with a vision. :)

#1 meet all the leaders of the world in their home nation and try to have a civil time.

#2 Also, invite all world leaders to the US

#3 Solicit more private funding of socioeconomic relief

#4 Enforce the laws on the books

#5 finish active military engagements the best I can

#6 Focus on the drug problem from the addict/recovery side

#7 Pretty much do nothing like what presidents have done and do what a president is actually supposed to do, the executive side of the 3 branches. Im not supposed to create laws or interpret them

pretty plain jane, I dont like presidents who over step their boundaries

Realistically, I would focus my Presidency in one area. I would spend a ton of money on infrastructure. Like. An obnoxious level

I would probably vote for you if that's all you did. It's probably the civil/traffic engineer in me. Only part I didn't like was cutting funding to NASA.

I am a high fan of funding research and exploration private companies will not undertake. It is a real value added to a society even if some original goals are not achieved.

If I were president I would only hope you hear 4 headlines about me ever.

1. today at the state of the union president 3nout enraged both houses of congress by executive ordering term limits and halt of pay and benefits for all of congress until there's a balanced budget.

2. Nobody has seen or heard from president 3nout for 3 months. In the meanwhile, shite has gotten done and nobody has any new taxes.

3 president 3nout was seen nailing the First Lady on the Oval Office.

4. President 3nout has now gone 3.5 years without passing a single law and vetoing every law that comes across his table, congress is confused but people seem to be happy that they don't have new laws and taxes popping up in their life every month.
