What IF...

You are the wealthiest person in the universe. Then you were elected as the President of the United States. When you assumed office you thought there are tons of money in the bank vault but turned out your country is indebted. It would take longer years to pay for those very huge, very large debts accumulated through many wars. It's not only world debts the only problem but also the huge mess in the immigration process. To lessen the red tape, you want a speedy urgent recovery of everything, you used your own financial capability to lessen those "mess." It's pay later plan. Using your own finance to do the projects that uplift your presidency and prestige. How you can get back your own money from all these projects?

Then you worked as if your country and the government is your own business. You run it like the savvy tycoon businessman you were before. However, the conflict is the rest of the people don't understand business of the government.

You are a tycoon and a businessman, you are to play your money and people's money that will earn profit. After all government is a business. You are a billionaire who owned realty establishments, houses priced in millions, you have your own private plane, golf course and resorts. You want to make use of these resorts not to enrich you but to economize. After all you are not paid for your work. You want to get out of your job as a President wherein you are not paid for and leave the presidency without debts. Using your own resources is  a plus and wont let you indebted once out of power. However, some people don't see that as part of economizing. ? Economics. I think in the past, there were several presidents who did just like that using their family's wealth to enhance and finance the Government of United States. Study your American History. Start with former Pres. George Washington. And you think there is graft and corruption. To finance a large body of land, large body of water  and hundred millions of people, including immigrants? darn it! You should have quadrillion dollars in cash and in gold bullions. Billions of dollars are no longer applicable. think hard. I hope you know how to count. Have you seen those past presidents before who end up bankrupt and looking very, very old who were sleep deprived. Anxiety and depression can cause anyone to falter, be on their shoes.

Whatever. Just a projection.

Why inheriting a huge mess is more challenging for would be leaders? It's challenging in the sense that if your leadership has contributed to its sudden rise of economic stability then that's a total gold standard and higher credit rating for that leader.

Yeah, WHAT IF...
