I'd go to off-topic forum and make all my decisions thru polls.

Obvious step 1: Fire all of my advisers.

Step 2: go find a competent chief of staff and have them re-staff my administration based on competence and not on personal loyalty. Then I would take their advice as I clearly don't know what I'm doing.

Try not to make a complete ass of myself by not spewing false accusations.

Resign from office since.

For starters, switch parties and take the GOP to task over their obsession with forever making the rich richer while screwing over everyone else to make it happen.

I'd probably be more effective in implementing his agenda. The only difference would be I would have a much better poker face and so I'd actually succeed in getting things like immigration restrictions through, or reducing US military operations worldwide.

I'd also be more of a "maverick" i.e. I'd implement D domestic programs to make life easier for lower middle class people and I'd soak the rich.

I'd probably make a move to screw Israel over.

I'd leave Iraq & Afghanistan to fend for themselves and take care of America, cuz thats my fuckin job.
I was elected president of the United States, not the president of Arabia.

Go on a state to state finger-banging rampage: GTPA - Grabbing That Pussy Again.

Maybe get a nice pink eye for that pink hat.

Out of curiosity, is your position of "soak the rich" still atypical for conservatives? That is something that is exceedingly rare to hear from the right. So much so that it grabbed my attention when I saw that you posted it.

Eh, the only *right* positions I really take is hostility towards Islam, and indifference towards LGBT issues. Which makes everyone think that I'm some right-winger. And if anyone notices, I never really ever criticize Islam for cultural matters or take seriously fears of Sharia law. So even then, I'm not really on the right there either. I have more of an Israeli understanding of Islam. Truth is that I've voted D my entire life. I'm probably best described as a green Jim Webb type.

Tell the truth like ever.
Vacation the amount a reasonable person might, so like one tenth as much as Trump
Go to Congress before escalating with a country.
Not tell the leader of a hostile foreign power about launching missiles at their ally before I tell Congress
Not support a healthcare bill that if accurate would be called the "murder the poor and eliminate healthcare options for women" act
Lie less (I know it's a repeat of the first one, but seriously this fucker lies A LOT)
Fire the people that committed perjury
Fire the people who committed espionage against the country with their collusion with a hostile Russia
Not attack women's healthcare options.
Not try to destroy the environment
Not try to destroy the education system
Not try to force Christianity upon the populous
Not try to unconstitutionally ban a religion
Not be super fucking racist
Not be racist at all, but since this is Trump it's a multiple step process to decrease the racism levels
Not continue the fucking stupid Republican policy of giving tax cuts to the rich which has literally never in the history of the world worked to improve the economy.
Not take credit for creating jobs that companies had already planned long before my election
Stay the fuck off Twitter
Not provoke insane, hostile foreign powers.
Release my taxes
Not keep white house visitor logs secret
Not encourage violent acts from my supporters
Accept the overwhelming scientific consensus about climate change and work towards making America a leader in reducing carbon and in renewable energy
Not attack science
Not sell the country out to the highest bidder.
Not be the most corrupt President in history
Not lie so much (seriously, it really needs to be said multiple times)
Actually learn about issues before commenting on them
Use literally any amount of critical thinking skills
Insist that the legitimate nominee Merrick Garland get a full hearing before I even consider nominating someone else because that's the way it's supposed to fucking work
Not support a complete obliteration of internet privacy rights
Not nominate a raging racist to lead the Department of Justice
Not nominate an oil company shill who wants to destroy the environment to lead the agency that protects the environment
At this point perhaps we should just say I'd nominate competent people to lead agencies, in other words the exact opposite of Trump
The wall, seriously, stupid as fuck, it would never even be mentioned unless it was called the "Stupid fucking idea wall"
Publicly declare that I don't want neo Nazis supporting me (I know we now call them the "alt-right" but you should call a Nazi a Nazi)
Hire people for Cabinet positions who don't lie constantly
Hire people for Cabinet positions that are even at least minimally competent
Not hire the mouthpiece for white nationalism to be my chief strategist (was covered by the not be super racist post, but it still needs it's own post)
Follow the Constitution, like ever, at all.

Those were the ones I could think of off the top of my head, I'll post more if the pop in.
