Partly Facetious: Trump-Imran chemistry

20 Jul, 2019

"One word of advice: even a rat would bare his teeth if you push it to the wall."
Hey, rats spread the plague that led to thousands upon thousands of horrendous deaths in Europe. And...and..."
"OK, OK, but you know what I mean. And my advice: don't push anyone into a corner."
"Excuse me, but I have read Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's LNG deal and I reckon there is a need to investigate it further..."
"Why didn't you go to court with your allegations?"
"Because major portions of the deal were redacted and while I did get an un-redacted copy from some source yet a court would have asked for a verified official copy and that I didn't have."
"So why has The Khan government not put the un-redacted version on the Ministry's website?"
"Qatar would be angry and need I add an angry Qatar may imply no 2.5 billion dollar parking in our State Bank...half a billion is all we will get..."
"Hey, didn't the UAE say they would park 2 billion dollars and only one billion dollars came."
"Maybe The Khan said something that made these two countries angry and..."
"I can imagine there was some shall we say unpleasantness with the Emir of Qatar because The Khan didn't drive him back to the airport but he drove the UAE Emir back."
"Good heavens, is that how you measure our international relations?"
"Indeed, and let me take this opportunity to advise The Khan again: Talk about Trump conquests and achievements not about our sacrifices, our costs in the war on terror, our bending over backward to appease the Afghans even though they engage frequently in Pakistan bashing and..."
"I agree, I can just about see Trump's eyes glazing over when The Khan talks about Pakistan's sacrifices."
"Indeed, and the two men have many commonalities. The Khan's first wife was a blonde, and all Trump's wives have been blonde, The Khan was into parties in his younger days as was Trump..."
"Trump has had two divorces like The Khan and there is talk of a third one while The Khan..."
"Don't be a conspiracy theorist in that regard my friend - it's like the conspiracy theory that Shabbar Zaidi is going to be shunted out and The Khan and his lieutenant Naeem ul Haq have denied it and..."
"They denied Asad Umar's dismissal as well."
"Ah yes, that is politics."
