“You know whose example we should follow? President Trump’s.”
“That’s a first for you. You used to argue that our chief executives were trailblazers for President Trump – we had the First Daughter before President Trump did…”
“That was merely because the third time prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s tenure pre-dated President Trump’s…”
“Right, but then we have pledged to the International Monetary Fund that we are going to phase out tariffs, see the Fund has yet to amend its globalist policies……”
“Bureaucracy takes time to adjust as you know and the international bureaucracy that is running the multilateral agencies…”
“Maybe the US bureaucrats can learn from our bureaucrats – sometimes the speed of their adjustments….”
“Shut up anyway President Trump is reportedly responsible for updating the Presidential Walk of Fame by adding lengthy descriptions of former presidents on plaques underneath their portraits for example Biden is described as sleepy Joe by far the worst President in American history, Obama (the guy who publicly lied about Raymond Davis being a diplomat – the man who killed three Pakistanis in broad daylight in Lahore) as one of the most divisive political figures and his Affordable Care Act as unaffordable…”
“Right, and the Biden plaque refers to his victory as the most corrupt election victory ever seen in the US.”
“Yep and Bill Clinton’s legislative successes due to Republicans in Congress and noted that he terminated the North American Free Trade Agreement struck by Clinton…”
“So you reckon President Zardari should add plaques to…”
“Only for the civilian presidents – I mean, you shouldn’t mix apples with oranges.”

“Shehbaz Sharif looks at the glass as half full so he is likely to add a thank you for the work done and for his brother he may say the beacon…”
“Ah, but what would he say about the Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless?”
“Is his photo still displayed?”
“Don’t know, but you know one suggestion – the cabinet members should be empowered to add plaques under the photos of their predecessors and bureaucrats as well — they too hang photos of their predecessors.”
“One question: should this practice extend to the services and…”
“That is up to them – after all, their offices are usually not open to civilians so…”
“Hmmmm.”
