The first thing I would do is to convince the general public that for too long the system that had made America great was actually bad for them. That businesses and the market were the enemy that needed to be crushed by a fundamental change. I would tell a plumber on the street that we need too move the wealth around and make the rich pay their fair share. I would never speak from the heart, my teleprompter is my guide and my soul. I would tell them when they are most afraid that a change is needed and to trust how eloquently I speak and that my race makes me better qualified to lead the nation than my lack of a real resume.
Once I have told you what you wanted to hear about how bad the previous president was and blamed him for policies placed decades before he came into politics, I'd tell you I could save you. I would promise the middle-class that for too long the 1% have been in power and that the government under my guidance needed to takeover and rescue all of the businesses that made poor management choices because they were just "too big to fail". I would refuse to let the market clean itself out by using the power of executive order circumvent bankruptcy laws so you'd give me your vote, and you did.
Once in office because I knew you were still afraid and shell shocked over the economic downturn I would assure you with pretty words that all I wanted to do was to help the common man by taking over 1/6th of the economic might of rhe country, your healthcare system, and promise there would absolutely be no difference in what you have and what we the government will provide you, if you like your doctor you can keep him, trust me. Without anyone reading the law I would have my minions ram it through the legislative branch and use a child as a puppet to help make it seem I wasn't doing this for a more nefarious reason, the complete Socialist control of your health, no I wouldn't.
Month after month I would amass more and more power to the executive branch through the abuse of executive orders. I would begin to ruin the ability of our military to effectively close and win a war by setting a timeline so the enemy could just wait us out and be on the borders the day we decided to run away and just destroy what thousands sacrificed their lives for. I would kill Americans overseas without warrant or jury and try to bring to trail Americans in our spy services who did what they have to to protect us. After a few months I would fly around the world and bow real low to foreign leaders and apologize for American exceptionalism.
