Given the longevity of his parents, we can say President Trump is very likely to thrive until he is 90 years old.

I posit that those years will be in office or influencing it.

In 2040, my daughters will be 26 and 24 years old, respectively.

Call it a Netflix-inspired vision, amalgamating history and fiction, but Black Mirror, Commodus, and Frank Underwood are instructive to study and predict future behavior of people who zig…when you think they’ll zag.

I think delaying or prolonging the below scenarios is counterproductive. They should start now to make those two decades seem like they go by as fast as possible.

Write down all the stories now.

The special counsel for the Department of Justice investigating the influence of Russian actors on the U.S. election found no “smoking gun”.

After leveraging “AI” to remove undesirable enemies from within and the disloyal from voter rolls, the Republican-led Congress will gain veto and filibuster-proof majorities in the 2026 midterms.

Unrestrained forces of the federal state, malleable values, and the will to power as a metric of leadership are embraced.

After the president wins reelection in 2024, the First Daughter is named Vice President, and she wins in 2028 and again 2032. In the second term of the first woman elected president, she names her husband — by now a savvy, billionaire political operative and humble civil servant — as Vice President and he later wins in 2036 and 2040.

In the next two decades, there may be a prolonged recession or wartime boom, but regardless, the appetite for violence of the voting public in swing states and districts will be nearly sated.

Those who are judged too “woke” by the administration are detained by local officers of the law, deputized with federal authority.

Police live-stream their engagements with the agent provocateurs of the Left and are preemptively pardoned for any actions.

Federal agents receive a cash bonus based on likes and retweets for each broadcast of public executions

The president’s family-led Organization has gained immense assets and is a voting shareholder in all industries and sectors.

Alternative facts ensure the voters know their country has truly been made great again. They are numbed to feel otherwise.

Shortly after 2040, the spell of the family of human opioid may break. Barron Trump will be 34 years old.

Any alternative agendas are unproven and incoherent before a balkanized and emotionally fragile electorate.

In 2040, the Covfefe Era may slowly fade from collective memory as the government offers tax credits to erase memories from the Amazon Neuralinks implanted in the citizenry.

Or, President Barron Trump continues the imperial legacy of human opioid.
