DeSantis in 2028.

**Ron DeSantis** was an Anglophone politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United States from 2027 to 2030, and later the President of the United States from 2037 until his assassination in 2041. Considered to be the protégé of Donald Trump, DeSantis was influential in striving for a renewed Trumpist Conservatism movement, which became known as Americanism, as well as the driving force for the breakup of the short party union between the Republican Party and the British Conservatives. He was the first President to be assassinated since John F. Kennedy in 1963.

## Biography

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, DeSantis served in the US Navy before becoming a politician in the early 2010's. During his bid to be the Governor of Florida in 2018, DeSantis declared himself to be a Trumpist, and quickly ascended the ranks of the Republican Party to become Donald Trump's protégé, with Trump heaping praises on him throughout the latter part of his life.

DeSantis attempted to run for the Presidency in 2024 but lost to Mike Pence in the Republican nomination. Afterwards, he decided to return to being a representative for his area and was vocal about the prospect of the Anglosphere being formed. DeSantis would play a key role in negotiating with the British government about the merge, and when the Anglosphere was formed, DeSantis was seen drunk after celebrating too hard from the creation of the union. He was also one of the organizers for Donald Trump's funeral later that year.

As soon as the Anglosphere was formed, DeSantis decided to run for the Prime Minister by becoming the leader of the Republican Party. Due to limitations, non-American citizens were not allowed to run for the Prime Minister role for this election, and as a result, DeSantis easily won the Prime Minister role as his party took a major landslide victory from the 2026 Midterms. He would appoint a more moderate Trumpist cabinet, sparking speculation if he will be more moderate about his policies.

In his first 100 days in office, DeSantis quickly began defining the rules of being the Prime Minister, as well as being more hardline towards China and Russia, whom, along with Iran, were called "the illiberal triumvate" by him. He also moved towards a more libertarian system on governance by allowing governors to have more free will on what they can do in the 2028 Constitution. In the 2028 Presidential Election, he supported Mike Pence despite of their differing ideologies, which partially helped Pence to win his second term as the President of the United States.

After crushing Scott Morrison in the 2029 Leadership Election, Ron DeSantis decided to run for a second term, even going as far as to say that he will easily clinch a majority in spite of their rival Democrats reforming into a centrist party, while the new Anglican Labour is appealing to more leftist voters. However, when the final results came in, it was revealed that Jacinda Ardern's Labour Party clinched the majority in the election, with many voters stating that DeSantis' aggressive foreign policy has led to the Euro-American Split.

After his Premiership, DeSantis returned to being a member of the House of Representative, and he became vocal about his distaste of Ardern's more moderate approach to China and Russia. Despite rumors of DeSantis hating Ardern personally due to their near-polarizing beliefs, DeSantis was the first Republican-Tory member to wish Ardern a swift recovery following her assassination attempt in 2032. He endorsed James Murdoch in the 2032 Election, though Murdoch would go on to lose to Alexandria Oscaio-Cortez in the second round.

Towards the end of his second term as a Representative, DeSantis decided to take a shot at the Senate, which he won by a crushing margin due to his status as the former Prime Minister. As a Senator of Florida, DeSantis would veto the 2033 Constitution drafted up by the Labour government, while also introducing more deregulation bills for the economy, though most of his bills were rejected by the leftist-dominant Senate. The relative lateness of American intervention during the Russian Collapse was also something he felt like a massive US screw-up. This, as DeSantis himself said, was ridiculous, and in 2035, he decided that he can no longer be just sitting there and be unable to introduce his libertarian and Trumpist policies to the Anglosphere. He decided to run for the Presidency.

DeSantis announced his Presidency bid on December 1st, 2035, and immediately drew the support of many Trumpists, who had by now referred to themselves as "Americanists" as the term "Trumpist" had become a derogatory term for conservatism. DeSantis later published a full book, named "Manifesto of Americanism", which was a collection of his beliefs, combined with the views of his allies and society. The book drew widespread debate, with detractors of DeSantis calling it the American Mein Kampf, while supporters called it the New Communist Manifesto. Whatever the case, it certainly worked, as DeSantis beat Labour candidate Tanya Plibersek and Democratic candidate Chelsea Clinton by a landslide. On January 20th, 2037, DeSantis became the first person to once hold both the President and Prime Minister roles.

Once in charge, DeSantis worked on installing Americanism into the Anglophone populace. He began to further liberalize the markets by deregulating most anti-monopoly practices, and slowly undo the previous government's leftist policies. DeSantis also saw a friendly relationship between the US and China as unnecessary and enacted a series of protectionist policies to secure the American workforce. While the American economy continued to grow under DeSantis, the foreign relationship between America and the other superpowers weakened, though DeSantis later would attempt to repair the broken relationship with the EU after the end of Prime Minister Macron's reign. DeSantis' populist policies would remain popular however, and he easily won a second term in 2040.

Less than a year after DeSantis was sworn in for his second term however, his time as President would suffer a shocking end. Towards Christmas that year, DeSantis was riding to his Florida resort, not too far away from Trump's famous Mar-a-Lago Resort. On December 20th, a disillusioned Secret Service agent shot him as he was heading the lawn just after noon, killing him due to the bullets hitting him in the heart. The news of his death spread quickly, with EU's Prime Minister Greta Thunberg being the first head of government to commemorate his death by recording a video in the middle of the night.

At his funeral, DeSantis' rival and former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that DeSantis had been a patriot to the Anglophone cause all his life, and he tried so hard to do right. Many of his adversaries and detractors were also sympathetic to DeSantis when he died, remembering his often-harsh remarks and his undying belief of a populist, libertarian Anglosphere to reborn the Anglosphere into one of the strongest nations on Earth. DeSantis would be succeeded by Vice President Madison Cawthorn, who died just 8 months later from an alcohol overdose and combined with Erin O'Toole's resignation in May last year, it sparked the Turbulent 40s, with the Anglosphere on the verge of total collapse.
