You guys really need proportional representation. It wouldn't fix things overnight (or at all. Mutual trust takes a long time to build), but it would fracture the established parties into a bunch of smaller ones who would then need to cooperate to gain a majority and nominate a president and divvy up the different government departments among them.
The Hillary party gets to drone some Arabs, but in return the Greens get subsidies for solar panels, the Socialists get better pay for teachers, and the Liberals get some tax cuts for small businesses. Or the Trump party gets to replace the oval office with a gold throne room, but in return the Conservatives get to privatize Medicaid and Medicare, the Christian Democrats get the death penalty for abortions and adultery (the adultery part is quickly overturned after the leopard eats their face) and the Libertarians get weed and copies of Atlas Shrugged in every school library.
