akjeQuestions no one ever asked:
Where did I get the idea for the future president? I was reading a bio of Stalin written by one of his generals, who said Stalin's autopsy report shows he was brain damaged due to a series of strokes he suffered throughout his life that affected the part of the brain responsible for paranoia. I don't know if that's true, but one of the last things he ever did was to hold the trial of the doctors since he believed his doctors were trying to kill him.
In any case, it made me wonder what would happen if an American president had some kind of brain damage no one knew about. Maybe an inoperable brain tumor even the patient himself was unaware of, a tumor that grew while he was in office. Maybe he served for two terms, and by the end of the second term he was doing some very peculiar, unethical things. Like building death camps. Heh. (>‿◠)✌
