TRUMP CANCELS U.S. DEBT WITH ONE GIANT BILL — Texas Sold to China!
$50 Trillion stunt shocks the world, sparks BBQ exile, and launches Mars golf empire after Making America Grate Again
The Big Note
It’s sunrise at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Trump, hair sculpted like a NASCAR spoiler, orders the creation of the greatest financial instrument since Dogecoin… a currency whose value once depended entirely on Elon Musk’s tweets and the collective willpower of Reddit day traders, a single $50 trillion bill, colossal enough to double as a luxury yacht sail, bearing his orange-tinted grin next to Lady Liberty, who looks notably embarrassed. The delivery is cinematic, directed by Michael Bay’s caffeinated understudy: F-35 jets thunder overhead, Apache helicopters buzz menacingly, Humvees rumble through D.C. streets, and Ted Nugent wails a fiery "Star-Spangled Banner" solo on an actual flaming bass guitar.
Trump, eyes sparkling with dollar signs, ceremoniously waves the bill around with suspiciously damp hands, declaring the $36 trillion national debt canceled. He immediately demands the remaining $14 trillion in change, insisting on small, non-sequential twenties, aesthetically dumped into the Mar-a-Lago reflecting pool. Fox News calls it brilliant; MSNBC reporters visibly sob on air while Rachel Maddow narrates the collapse of the dollar in shaky iambic pentameter, pausing only to sip chamomile and mutter, "This is fine, totally fine."
Meanwhile, Congress experiences a sudden bipartisan fever dream: Texas must go. In a flurry of bipartisan insanity, Texas is evacuated; military bases dismantled, nukes sent packing, and barbecue pits tragically abandoned. Texans are relocated en masse to the Dakotas and Montana, where bewildered locals respond by forming a bipartisan anti-cowboy alliance, launching a separatist podcast called "Don't Mess With Us Either," and trying to figure out what a kolache even is, instantly sparking the "Great Hat Feud," as Stetsons clash bitterly with buffalo hats.
Texas, now a haunted wasteland of tumbleweeds, armadillos, and empty Buc-ee’s locations (now granted emergency UNESCO World Heritage status for cultural preservation), hosts a single, isolated Treasury outpost. This building, guarded by unemployed rodeo clowns, houses the official IOU for printing the dreaded $50 trillion bill (the bill itself somehow slipped into Trump's pocket, justified by a questionable Supreme Court ruling that nothing a president does is illegal if remotely connected to official duties), making Texas officially America’s debt mule.
In a shocking global maneuver (dubbed the "Whataburger Protocol"), the U.S. sells Texas to China for a modest $2 trillion, with a strict "no tanks, plenty of buffets" clause. Overnight, Texas is rebranded as "Texing," complete with factories producing "Make Texas Great Again" hats ironically marked "Made in China."
The financial magic unfolds perfectly:
* China’s $768.6 billion U.S. debt is zeroed out.
* Japan's $1.1 trillion holdings vanish in a celebratory sushi binge.
* The remaining “pocket change”, $131.4 billion, funds the world's largest Buc-ee’s in Beijing, complete with brisket bao buns, Sichuan-spiced Beaver Nuggets, and a gift shop selling chopstick holsters emblazoned with armadillo logos.
Triumphant, Trump waves his gargantuan IOU, declares himself Emperor of Finance, knights Ivanka with a 9-iron dubbed 'Liberty’s Shaft,' and renames Mars as New Mar-a-Lago, promising interplanetary tax cuts and a Space Force Dunkin’ on every crater and Richest Being in the Known Universe. Creditors worldwide are stunned silent. He retires immediately to golf courses built on Mars, dragging Elon Musk along as his ego-shaped caddy. Conservatives spiral into existential despair as Texas’s 40 electoral votes vanish into franchises of Panda Express. The Alamo proudly offers egg rolls and fortune cookies predicting economic ruin.
The grift achieves metaphysical completeness. Reality itself, exhausted, shrugs helplessly. And, astonishingly, despite geopolitical chaos, every Buc-ee’s remains defiantly open, selling Beaver Nuggets at competitive prices.
