    James Kaufman Andersson (born November 29, 1986) is an American politician who is the 52nd and current President of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a United States Representative from 2015 to 2019 and served in the South Dakota Legislature from 2013 to 2015.

    BIOGRAPHY

    Andersson was born to Jewish parents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and moved with his family to South Dakota shortly thereafter. He played multiple sports in his youth (most notably baseball and figure skating), even being recruited by IMG Academy in Florida to play baseball before returning due to homesickness. Andersson graduated high school as Salutatorian at the age of 16, where he had been president of the Young Democrats club.

    Andersson attended Harvard University where he majored in Cryptology and Political Science and attended ROTC. He was roommates with comedian Colin Jost and fellow politician Pete Buttigieg in his sophomore year. Andersson graduated in 2005 and joined the Air Force following his graduation from ROTC and score of 96 on the ASVAB.

    Despite early polls showing a close race between Andersson and incumbent President Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic and a strong campaign gave him a strong, double-digit polling lead. He won the 2020 election by a margin of nearly nine points. Following the election, President Trump refused to concede, eventually inciting an insurrection at the Capitol in Washington D.C. while the electoral votes were being certified. Andersson was sworn in as the nation's 46th President on January 20, 2021.

    PERSONAL LIFE

    President Andersson is the nation's first Jewish chief executive and its first LGBT one as he identifies as bisexual. He is married to Jenna Levine, a former Air Force pilot one year his senior who he met while they were both stationed in Japan. Levine is the first First Lady to serve in political office before her tenure, serving as a member of the House of Representatives from 2015 to 2020. Andersson has been described as one of the most personally religious people to hold the office, although he maintains a cross of Reform of Conservative Jewish customs. Andersson was outed as bisexual in July of 2020 via the Conway Tapes, which dated over a decade back and were illegally obtained by the Trump campaign. He has two children born in 2011, a year after his marriage, named Ezra and Leah. Andersson has said that he is a germaphobe, along with being a cat lover and a fan of science fiction. He is left-handed, although he uses his right hand for official documents. He is noted for his use of Twitter, which is frequently described as 'trolling' and 'shitposting'. He is the author of several of the most-liked tweets of all time, and has gotten into lengthy spats with various notable figures including Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder.

    POLITICAL VIEWS

    Andersson has been identified by various individuals as both a progressive and establishment candidate. He himself has said that he lies in between Social Democracy and normal Liberalism. He has been observed to hide the progressiveness of his views to appeal to a wider audience on multiple occasions. He was a member of the House Progressive Caucus.

    Healthcare
    James Andersson supports single-payer healthcare, and has done so since at least 2016, when he co-sponsored the Medicare For All proposal. He continued this as President, with his 'War on Big Pharma' and the signing of the Universal Coverage Act of 2022, a somewhat watered down version of his Medicare For All proposal that was introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren.
    Unions
    The position of President Andersson on unions has been described variously as 'far left' and 'borderline socialist'. Andersson campaigned to the left of Bernie Sanders on the issue, which he supports Sectoral Bargaining. In his first act as President he stacked the labor arbitration board with a list of people reportedly drawn up by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He signed the PRO Act in 2021, which repealed much of Taft-Hartley and allowed for company-wide unionization votes. During the Railroad Strike of 2022, Andersson intervened on behalf of the workers, securing a large deal including large pay increases.
    Environment
    Andersson has stated that he believes climate change to be "the most important issue of our time", and has supported several left-wing measures to mitigate it. He has stated that he only does this because he likes rainy weather. Andersson campaigned on a climate platform termed by some to be a 'Green New Deal-lite' although he has rejected such labels. President Andersson signed his climate plan in late 2021, which was a watered down version of the original. It contained $7 Trillion in spending over a decade, with economic growth accounting for a substantial portion. The legislation has provisions for ambitious clean energy and infrastructure projects and research and development.
    Taxation
    While campaigning for the White House, Andersson campaigned on a 'two-cent tax' platform among other policies that was designed to rebrand a 'radical' plan into something people could understand. He only got some of his policies passed as of November 2022, however, with those being the 15% minimum corporate tax, a repeal of the TCJA and the implementation of a 41.5% top tax rate, and a $50/MT corporate carbon tax. His policies have been credited with the projected fall of the deficit from nearly $3 Trillion when he took office to less than $400 Billion by 2027.
    Minimum Wage/Worker's Rights
    Andersson supports the $15 per hour minimum wage, and implemented it with the American Rescue Act of 2021. He also supports a $22.50 minimum wage for dangerous work and stronger protections for those working overtime.
    Foreign Policy
    Since taking office, Andersson has pursued an 'internationalist/apology tour' approach to foreign policy, including increased funding for NATO and other organizations. Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, President Andersson has sent roughly $95 Billion in aid. His response to the invasion has been widely praised both in the US and abroad. Andersson identifies as a member of NAFO, and had a personalized Shiba Inu 'fella' profile picture on his Twitter account.
    Abortion
    Andersson is pro-choice. He opposed the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs, and signed several executive orders and laws to get around state bans. He has supported a two-seat expansion of the Supreme Court along with term limits for justices.
    Women's Rights
    Andersson supports feminism, although he has gotten into arguments with more radical feminists in the past. These mainly surround Andersson's sympathy for men's rights, which come from being a victim of sexual abuse himself.
    LGBTQ Rights
    Identifying as bisexual himself, Andersson is a staunch supporter of gay rights. He holds relatively conservative views on trans rights for a Democrat, supporting bills banning transgender people from playing in women's sports. Following his own forced outing in 2020, he has supported strong anti-doxxing laws.
