Trump Effect

This scenario is a simple one, based on a single premise: What if Donald Trump opted to stay as a Democrat in 2009, and never filed to become a Republican?

Of course, reality lines up very similarly with our own all until 2013, when Trump spends nearly $1 million to research whether or not to announce a 2016 run, and makes multiple media appearances. Appearing at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics as a speaker in 2015, Trump praises President Obama, and soon after, announces his longshot run for the presidency on Twitter. The rest is history.
