Donald Trump, so that when he became president I would take back everything he said and change his policy.
President Obama. It would be a long, hard year but thank god I’d have only 12 months left to endure all the prejudice, second-guessing and inappreciation I had so stoically endured for two terms.
Natalie Portman, and Natalie Portman.
Who else would I be doing if I were in her body?
Someone like one of the Koch brothers. Assassinate the most ultra-rich environment-destroying assholes I could get to gather all under one room, with a bomb… hmm, or maybe with some Monsanto-produced chemicals.
Eh… not really, I guess. Instead, I’d spend the year as someone like that, trying to change the thinking of all the string-pullers he knows. If they own the planet, shouldn’t they want it to be a nice healthy place, instead of a polluted GMO experiment headed for mass extinctions or horrible poverty and so on?
The leader of ISIS.
First, I would sell off all their assets for next to nothing, to my friends and family. Then, I would send all the head guys to bomb stuff, and make anonymous calls to warn the authorities.
Just before time to return to my own body, I would approach Putin, and insult him, and spit on his shoes.
Let’s hope my timing is good.
Michael Bay! And I would stop making movies! :D
I’d take over Malcolm Turnbull’s (Australia’s PM) body. I’d make Captain Calls (mine wouldn’t be clusterfucks – see definition) like making same-sex marriage legal. I’d sack the dinosaurs and inhuman asshats on the front bench and appoint more women to cabinet. That could be challenging since there may not be sufficient female Coalition members with a social conscience. I’d close Australia’s overseas detention centres and implement an ‘in the community’ process for asylum seekers. I’d establish processing centres in Indonesia and Malaysia to be run collaboratively with those countries to avoid people using people traffickers. If you get on a boat, you get flown right back. I’d establish a program to reduce homelessness; this would include greater support for mental health services. In addition, while I’m on a roll, I’ll implement legislation to make the arsehole corporations who don’t pay their tax, pay what they owe. This would be one of my first Captain Calls. I doubt I’ll get through all this before the Coalition members will kidnap me and lock me in a cupboard to stop me ruining their nasty, evil fun.
