Presidency of Ben Shapiro

The Presidency of Ben Shapiro began on January 20th, 2041 after defeating Senator Jon Ossof and ended on January 20th, 2049 when Senator Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts was inaugurated as President.

As President, Shapiro reversed most of the policies AOC did as President. Shapiro lowered taxes, created job creation bills, and passed business invention laws. Shapiro also cut welfare. A majority of Christians at the time were moderate and President Shapiro gained their trust by banning abortion nation wide. Shapiro also gained coal miners and farmers on the side with work in the Department of Agriculture and undid several New Green Deals and unbanned plastic straws. Shapiro improved the military and oversaw the end of the Saudi-Iranian War and the Afghan War. Republicans kept Congress in 2042 because a majority of moderates and conservative Democrats aligned themselves with Shapiro. On November 3rd, 2043 13 Americans were taken hostage by the Taliban. Operation Eagle Spear saw the Americans rescued and four terrorist killed with only one injury on behalf of the Americans. In 2044, Ben Shapiro ran against former Governor of Indiana Pete Buttigieg and won easily. Republicans would keep Congress.

In times of crisis Shapiro excelled, he would build ties with Saudi Arabia and partnership with Israel skyrocketed under the Shapiro presidency. A record number of Jews were brought into the Shapiro administration and the wall was rebuilt. The Republican Congress would make sure to add an amendment making sure future presidents would protect the border. Shapiro also saw a lot of problems with Drugs. In 2046, 90 Americans who opposed a drug cartel in Columbia were assassinated. In a bipartisan effort between Republicans and Democrats, Shapiro escalated the War on Drugs. Santiago Sanchez, a Cuban-born Columbian drug dealer was named as the ring leader of the 2046 Massecure and was put in the FBI's most wanted. Once it was discovered that El Bozo, a drug ring in Mexico was assisting the Columbians, Shapiro attacked them too. The FBI would discover Sanchez's location in mid-2047, Sanchez would escape however, and nine FBI agents would die in a shootout with his men. Fourteen drug dealers in the high ranks of El Bozo would be arrested and the DEA would successfully capture Rodriguez Castro, the leader of El Bozo. Shortly after El Bozo would collapse. In 2047 after a Democratic revolution occurred in Afghanistan, the Shapiro administration would fund the Afghan rebels and bomb Taliban headquarters in Afghanistan.

On December 25th, 2047, Sanchez was caught in Mexico and killed in a drone-strike. His death was extremely controversial but the war on drugs (and Columbia) would go on. In 2028, Republicans nominated Shapiro's Vice President, Nikki Haley for President to run against Massachusetts Senator Joe Kennedy. Kennedy won in a landslide because of the now-unpopular Shapiro administration. Shapiro would meet several times with Kennedy. While Kennedy was somewhat conservative economically and war of Drugs like, he disapproved of Shapiro's banning of abortion and Afghan bombings. Despite this little would change in Afghanistan. Shapiro would end his presidency focused on the War on Drugs and inflation (which had lowered under his presidency)
