Picture the scene. It’s 2028, and Donald Trump has been re-elected US president. Having abolished term limits and charmed and connived his way to victory again, he is set to become the first US president since Franklin D Roosevelt to serve a third term in office.
Except… there is no United States left to govern. Piece by piece, the jigsaw has shrunk to the point that even the District of Colombia has declared independence, and the boundary fence of Trump’s White House now forms the US border. Trump can extend his tiny hands all he likes, but he’s the only human being in reach. Wouldn’t it be swell?
