Kyle Hughes

Kyle Hughes is the President of the United States of Trisco. He has been reigning for 59 years, or 11 terms (each term is 5 years). This makes him the longest reigning democratic leader in the history of the world. He was born in Wichita, Ryanchen, and is 87 years of age. The following page is a history of his career.

### Elected

Kyle Hughes was elected in 1963. He has seen mass change, such as racial equality protests, women's rights protests and the Liskyr attacks, or AO5, only under 3 years ago, the 3rd anniversary coming on November 5th, commemorating the actual date in 2020.

President Hughes has had many happy, sad, funny, scary and famous times in his 59 year reign as President. During his first year as president, when he was 28 years old in 1963, he was reporting on national radio about his plans for the country. He stated, "From now on, no matter the cost I will help benefit this country, President or not, you people are my life, and I intend to spend it on you." These words were never broken. Triscan elections take place every 5 years, and Hughes was elected 11 times and was coming up to his twelfth term as President straight, in 2023.

### Early Years

During the 60s and 70s, when Triscan culture went through the roof, Hughes was definitely contributing to the trends at the time. From wearing the crazy multicoloured jackets in public and in his car, to appearing in public nightclubs, getting drunk and having a laugh. Hughes was a party animal. He didn't care what people thought about him, rich or poor. He wanted to be with the people of Trisco.

### President's Estates

Hughes has many estates. His official public one is Calco House in Idelo, his public home, which is the public home of any President. However, he has 4 other estates all around the states of Trisco. He owns the Andrea Palace III in Bernadeschi, a replica of the 2 other Andrea palaces, one destroyed when a canon was misfired, and one was bombed by Water-Sir-Land. He also owned the Royal Arena of Colshire, a huge theatre with a palace built into it. He used this place a lot when young, but he wouldn't visit much as he grew older. He owned Wichita Palace, a grand palace located in Ryanchen. Out of all of these, this one is the most modern. And finally, his favourite residence of which he spends the majority of his time at is Brumley Castle, in Monroe.

### Silver Regime

When he reached 5 terms as President in 1988, he celebrated his Silver Regime, an award given for 5 terms as president. Thousands gathered round Calcough Way as he delivered a speech, remarking the words he made 25 years earlier, that President or not he would never leave the people's side. People joked that 'not being President' was a lie from Hughes. On the 24th April 1989, Hughes was playing football like he did every Sunday over the past few months, and he seriously injured his right kneecap. This is where he received his world famous walking stick.

### Late 20th Century

As Hughes grew older, he got married to late Mary Myers, had 2 sons, Andrew and Oliver. Hughes had a fairly normal adulthood, appearing on television and working on his political manifestos. This is when widespread media started joking about how long he had been President. At this point, he had been a 6 term president and the second longest was 4. People started agreeing that they would 'never know another President to Hughes'. Meanwhile in Liskyr, the World Economic Centre, fairly new at the time, invited Hughes to do a challenge. He skydived off the spire of the West Tower (tower 1) in 1992, and the clip was broadcast everywhere. He became a worldwide icon, and a national treasure to Trisco. In 1995, Hughes was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is when his infamous baggy face came from.

### Andrew Scandal

Everything seemed to be going well for Hughes, until in 2005, when his son, Andrew, was on suspicion for murdering his wife, Rachael. The President's family grew unpopular, and so did Hughes. People claimed that 'Hughes is a sick human for letting Andrew back into his family' and 'down with the murderers, time for a change of presidency!' Then, in one of his most famous speeches he ever did in his life, he said this:

"People of of all 31 states of Trisco, and the rest of the World, I would like to say this. I would never ignore, deceive or laugh at your opinions on me, but at the same I will not let it affect me, neither shall it affect Andrew. I understand your anger. I have felt it inside me too before. But I will never let go of Andrew, like I, and I trust that you also, will never let go of whom you love, including Andrew and the land of hope, of which the world calls Trisco. To all states and countries, I will never leave you. Andrew is innocent, and the testimony is soon, so as fair as we can, be patient as I have been with you for the past 42 years. Thank you Trisco, the land of hope. I will see you again." Andrew was found not guilty of 1st degree murder in 2009. Instead, it was found as suicide.

### Golden Regime

In 2013, he celebrated his Golden Regime, for 10 straight elected terms as President. He made many speeches and unveiled many plaques. There were many bank holidays and funny interviews. This started the golden era for Trisco, economy, culture, tourism and popularity!

Hughes is a worldwide treasure now. People all around the world loved him. He, and the late Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, were joked to be immortal. Unlike Elizabeth II, Hughes fought for his 50 year reign over Trisco. They met in 2015, and it was a world famous moment.
