The Lunduke Journal of Conservative Nerdiness

Ok. So I’m not actually running for President of the USA.But… what if I were?What sort of things would my campaign platform contain? What policies would I propose and support? What would I vow to do “on my first day in office”?Buckle up.The "Lunduke for President" Platform* Immediately end all support — monetary, military, or otherwise — of Ukraine.

Any state that does not follow this will lose all Federal funding for Public School programs.* Every government job — both the position, and the occupant — that earns over $150,000 per year must be approved by a majority of voters. If a majority of voters do not approve a position, it is eliminated entirely.* Term limits for both Senate and House.* Deport all undocumented foreign nationals. Finish border wall construction.

The Press conference will be broadcast live and uncensored. If the President is unable to perform this basic task, that means the President is unable to fulfill his duties and must be relieved of command under the 25th Amendment.* Sweeping Copyright reform, including elimination of the Copyright Term Extension Act and all “Disney Extensions”.On my first day in office…What would I do on my first day in office?
