Big, Beautiful Tollbooth
A political Drabble: Trump "opens" the Strait of Hormuz
Like a toddler, Trump has a history of messy exits from the places he loses interest in: The Atlantic City, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. He just ups and leaves. Bibi, seeing that Trump is about to quit Iran, calls him:
"Please, Donald, don't leave me to deal with Iran on my own!"
"Yeah, what's in it for me, if I stay?"
"You can build a big beautiful golden tollbooth with your name on it. Charge every passing ship 20% of whatever value it carries."
"I also want my statue on top of it."
"Done."
"And make it rotate with the sun!"
