Possible British Prime Minister scenario with Donald Trump
In an unexpected turn of events, the year 2029 saw a unique blend of history and politics unfold in London. The U.S. President, Donald Trump, found himself in a surprising role, not only as the President of the United States but also as the U.K.'s prime minister.
This unconventional situation was met with a mix of reactions, both in the U.K. and abroad. One of the most notable incidents was the use of Britain's only red carpet to restrain Prince Andrew, keeping him at a distance from Trump.
The comparison between Trump and Czar Paul I of Russia was not lost on the observers. Both leaders were known for their love for pomp and circumstance, with Trump's carriage ride through the Windsor Castle estate attended only by soldiers, much like Czar Paul I's obsession with military parades.
However, the similarities ended there. Czar Paul I was infamous for his harsh treatment of his soldiers, ordering floggings for mistakes and once demanding an entire regiment to march to Siberia as punishment. In contrast, Trump's interaction with a soldier during his visit was the subject of a joke.
The visit was also compared to a Potemkin village, a phrase coined by Grigory Potemkin, who despaired of Czar Paul I when he ordered a change in Russian army uniforms. In the U.K., the undesirable reality of Trump's visit was hidden behind a facade of pomp and circumstance.
The visit stirred up controversy, with Russian propagandists amplifying concerns about Trump's treatment in London. St. Petersburg-based Russia News noted that Trump only had a runway and soldiers upon arrival, contrasting it with a red carpet rolled out for Zelenskyy.
Back in the U.K., debates about Trump potentially becoming Britain's next prime minister were heated. Former Member of Parliament Jacob Rees-Mogg suggested that Trump could be eligible once he completes his second term in 2029. TV channel GBNews even hosted a show asking this very question.
However, opinions were divided. Trump was perceived as potentially worse than Liz Truss and less popular than Keir Starmer. Even a self-described 'Proud American & Patriot,' Raylan Givens, complained about the lack of a red carpet for Trump's arrival in London.
Richard Eden, diary editor of the Daily Mail, described Trump's carriage ride as 'embarrassing, like a fairground ride to entertain the U.S. President.' The meeting prepared between Trump, French President Jordan Bardella, and 14-year-old YouTubers who are leaders of major world economies was another unusual aspect of this visit.
Jordan Bardella belongs to the political party Rassemblement National in France. Despite the unusual circumstances, the visit was a testament to the ever-evolving dynamics of global politics.
