Yesterday, the Emperor was so happy receiving the news for his achievement to increase the Gross National Debt up to 40 Trillion, that after his closest fanatical followers congratulated him decided to make a party. The only problem is that the new White House Ballroom is not yet complete and they can’t invite most of the Emperors devoted hooligan association leaders, so the celebration needed to be made in private, with a beautiful cake and 40 candles.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was not invited, came in an urgent need to speak with the Emperor about the dramatic financial condition of the American Debt; after insisting and the Emperor blowing out the candles he accepted to speak with Bessent. Listening to him carefully the Emperor admitted that the 40 trillion is a bad thing, but he didn’t want to disturb the joyous mood of his collaborators who wanted to celebrate. Bessent asked the president if he has a plan to reverse this critical condition of debt, at this point the Emperor looked at his interlocutor and said:
Scott, you know the new Ballroom I projected for the White House, and the discussion that it created in different instances that arrived until the Supreme Court? Yes, but Emperor now is not the time or moment to think about it answered Bessent. The Emperor looked straight into the eyes of the Secretary of Treasury and said: It will not be a new Ballroom anymore, it will be a B&B (Bed and Breakfast) where every rich man will love to come and pay millions for the night, and in two years the US Gross Debt will be gone!
Scott Bessent started clapping his hands and crying of the emotion, saying to the Emperor: I knew his Majesty would save America!
