That would be cruel. He only has a few months to try and sort out some of the messes that Trump made. Plus given he's from ~100 years earlier - a lot would depend on the exact date he's from - I fear he could be even more reactionary in some ways.

'On 22nd May 2020 (the day when the North Korean regime finally admitted that the Kims never had any), an ASB bestows Kim Jong-un, along with the rest of the Kim dynasty, with all the superpowers they previously claimed they had (including weather control, the ability to cure any diseases, and manifest magical unicorns out of thin air)'.

I'm not sure that counts as frivolous especially since their a large enough bloc that they should be able to maintain most of their technology and facilities until they can develop new construction and supply facilities.
In Europe there's going to be the question of what happens to the former Irish Republic and territories of Switzerland and Austria as well as parts of the Balkans as their pretty much uninhabited. Cyprus could also be interesting as both Greece and Turkey would like to stake a claim while if the British bases there are brought along that means Britain has a presence as well. Nearly forgot Norway and Denmark are going to have to decide what to do with Sweden and areas to the east.
The other issue is what was the climatic situation at the time. The Ice Age was ending but how much was still locked in ice in the north with effects on both temperature and sea level? It could be pretty chilling in Britain, Norway and parts of N America at the very least while correspondingly some sizeable chunks of what's now the Sahara could still be pretty green. Had a quick check through wiki and the best I could find was Holocene which suggests that 10,000 years ago it was still somewhat cooler with a fair amount of ice age glaciers about but not a full ice age. However not a lot of detail and a fair amount of uncertainty.

I guess the climate would be the problem. Some areas would be flooded overtime or turned into deserts. What's interesting here is that scientists can now study extinct life forms but at the same time, these would be made into trophies by hunters.

‘1888 Grover Cleveland Gets The 1988 Democratic Nomination’.
…Poor, poor Grover. Even if ASB resurrects him and magically gives him enough delegates to get the nod, his various “anachronisms” would make uptimer Democrats bolt and hand Bush Sr. an even bigger landslide than what he got IOTL. Sure, he might try to hit Bush on Iran-Contra and contrast it with his own record of probity and trasparency, but considering that Cleveland has done things that’d be unacceptable to a late twentieth-century electorate and would likely torpedo his campaign by refusing to adjust to the times, I doubt that Iran-Contra would matter.

'Democrats Drink Bourbon Whiskey At Every Official Dinner'. I'm referencing a long-extinct faction of the party known as the Bourbon Democrats, by the way (who were nothing like modern Democrats are today).
