The Art of the Deal

So what do two bullies talk about when they get together? I imagine they first must strut a bit, exchange firm handshakes, look each other in the eyes to see who blinks first, and then compliment each other on their hairdos.  

Then they begin. They first engage in discussions of the last person they cowered into submission. In Kim’s case, it might be the last person he sent off to be murdered. In Trump’s case, it might be the last person he insulted on Twitter, or, more likely, Trump would go on about how he humiliated Justin Trudeau—he didn’t, but he is too stupid to understand that.

Then they might begin their discussions about Mutual Assured Destruction.

Kim: “So, here’s the deal. If you promise not to invade our great nation, we promise not to unleash a hellfire of destruction on California.”

Trump: “Ok, so if you promise to bulldoze into the ocean all of your nuclear weapons, and your stockpile of bombs, we promise not to incinerate your entire teeny nation.”

Kim: “Ok, but you must first promise to refer to me as the Grand, and wise leader of the People’s Republic of Korea (leaving off that North thing).”

Trump: “Ok, but you must then refer to me as that Grand Leader of the entire league of industrialized nations, the greatest leader the world has ever known.”

Kim: “ Sounds good to me, oh Grand Leader.”

Trump: “Yeah, I like that, oh grand and wise leader of Korea.”

Trump: “ So, what do you think, do we have a DEAL?”

Kim: “I think we have a DEAL.”

Trump: “And that, folks, is what I call, The Art of the Deal”.
