Okay, yeah, I know, we all knew he was thinking it, and he doesn't have the political power to make it real, but...dear frelling gremplork, it's scary as green hell to have a sitting president even TALK about this stuff. .___.

A Elective Monarchy or having made the Washington family into American stadtholder would/'ve helped stabilize America's increasingly erratic foreign policy.

As it stands America is a terrible ally, since God knows what will happen in 4-8 years.
