Something like that. (offscreen laughter) But don't mess with humble new Silk Road. We change your dollar bills. How you like, as Lennon said, going around carrying pictures of Chairman Mao on G-note in your wallet? What God you truss then? Hey, DJ, as act of good will, I invite you to send some of your deplorables to China to help us build Silk Road train bed. Can be our coolies. What you say that?
Trump
Okay, well, let me talk to my people. But keep buying those IOUs. In the meantime, let's make a real deal.
Xi
Oh, you real artist of deal. (laughter offscreen) Look out, Xi, for unhittable slider off the plate. What you have in mind, Donald. Go ahead pitch.
Trump
Give me some wall, Xi. I promised my people I'd have a wall to keep out the hombres.
Xi
Yeah, got 13,000 miles wall, Donald. Some of it in mothballs at the moment.
Trump
Could you sell me some wall, Xi? I would save face with my people. And it would bring our two cultures closer together and save my foreign-policy face, too. Maybe we can go back to De'tente after the election.
Xi
I can't sell you wall, Donald. Heritage laws you know. But rent a stretch to you along Mexican border to keep out hombre ghengos until after election. Then maybe we work out long term rental deal. You know type of deal I'm talking about, Donald -- you know exactly what I'm talking about.
